Apart from my core test preparation classes, I’ve also helped many of my students ace their job and visa interviews. My experience in the multicultural corporate world has also given me real business insights which I’m willing to share to everyone.
Some Fun Facts About Me:
I write as a job and as a hobby. I do a little bit of everything. I can do literary, academic, and business-oriented. I edit essays of all types, do scholarly research, create instructional materials, and give lectures on various topics centering on learners' need to improve their ability to speak and write in English.
I have done some copywriting. I wrote fun emails for companies. I’ve worked in some call centers here in the Philippines and abroad. I love music. I can play a few chords with my ukelele, and I sing a lot.
So, as you can see, I dabble at not just a few things. My interests are ever expanding, and that’s just how I like it. These varied interests that I have, I believe will come in handy when I teach as students are as diverse as they come.
The philosophy I go by when I teach is: learning need not be such a drag. It can be fun.

Regular ESL ranges from grammar to vocabulary building in everyday contexts. Conversational English is casual and relaxed, reflecting the way people naturally communicate in day-to-day interactions. For most speakers, it’s the primary language used for everyday communication.
Stress is put on learning concepts within various contexts. I avoid teaching grammar rules in isolation or presenting random words and expressions.
