Hello! I'm teacher Grace from the Philippines.

I'm a nurse by education, a teacher by occupation, and a mother.
I'm amiable, extroverted, extremely patient, and quite a conversationalist.
I love meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and sharing ideas.
I'm not adventurous or outdoorsy BUT I enjoy traveling all over the world, reading a lot of books, watching TV shows, cooking and of course, shopping! ?

I have been using the English language for all of my life. And I have been teaching English for quite a while now.
I've had vast professional and career experience, from customer service, financial stock trading, entrepreneurship, business management to nursing,
I have a broad knowledge on various topics.
As a teacher, I reckon this is very advantageous.
I can help you prepare for your exams, meetings, job interviews, business transactions, medical vocabulary, or simply for your casual or daily conversation.
I can handle both adults and children.

I've taught tons of reviewers for the IELTS Speaking exams, hundreds of K-12 students, adult and professional English learners through an online education company and via private online classes.
I was able to assist students to achieve 6 to 7.5 band scores in IELTS speaking, pass their local and school certifications for English proficiency, succeed in interviews and entrance exams, and so on.
I have helped shy, introverted, and unconfident students gain their confidence and boost their self-esteem by improving their English language skills.

My teaching technique is diverse. My method varies depending on the need of my student. I am approachable but firm at the same time. Serious but warm.
Stern but easy going.
I am very patient and passionate in teaching and motivating students to be confident in both conversation, reading, and written English.
I enjoy encountering new challenges, meeting new students, encouraging them to learn new things, and helping them apply their learnings.
Tolerance, flexibility, compassion are just some of the things I can offer to my students.

I will do my best to make sure that you will learn a lot every after our lessons in a fun, fresh and interesting way.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and have you in my class. And I hope you'll give the opportunity to assist you to achieve your goals and help make your dreams come true.

I hope to see you in my class!
