“What if learning could inspire confidence, creativity, communication, and personal growth all at once?”

Hello everyone! My name is Joanna, I am a Psychology graduate, an aspiring psychologist, and a Best in Thesis awardee. My research focuses on combining psychology and art, exploring how creativity and painting can support self-care and personal growth for people of all ages.

I am also certified in Train-the-Trainer, TEFL, English for Career Development, Teaching English to Young Learners, and blended teaching and learning programs.

I have facilitated training programs for hundreds of learners and employees combined, including workshops for large groups of students focused on communication, leadership, creativity, and personal development.
I am a language tutor, artist, and trainer with experience in teaching, communication, customer service, sales, and people development.

I can help you learn:
• English
“Hello! How are you today?”
“Nice to meet you!”
• Business English
“Let’s schedule a meeting.”
“Thank you for your professionalism.”
• Filipino / Tagalog
“Kumusta ka?” (How are you?)
“Maraming salamat!” (Thank you very much!)
• Chavacano
“Buenas dias!” (Good morning!)
“Gracias contigo.” (Thank you.)
• Bisaya / Cebuano
“Kumusta ka?” (How are you?)
“Amping!” (Take care!)

Aside from languages, I also teach drawing, painting, presentation skills, public speaking, and seminar facilitation for students and professionals.
My teaching style is interactive, encouraging, creative, and personalized based on your goals and learning pace.
If you’re looking for a patient tutor who combines creativity, communication, psychology, and personal growth in learning, I would be happy to learn with you.

See you in my class!
