Alyssa

I am a licensed professional teacher from the Philippines with over six years of teaching experience in both online and offline settings. I have taught learners from preschool to university level, as well as adult students, working with diverse proficiency levels and learning goals. My experience includes teaching general English, conversation classes, and IELTS Speaking, which has allowed me to develop strong adaptability and a deep understanding of learners’ needs.

My expertise lies in helping students improve their communication skills, particularly speaking confidence, pronunciation, and fluency. I am skilled in breaking down complex language concepts into clear, manageable parts and guiding students to use English naturally in real-life situations. I also have experience tailoring lessons for exam preparation, especially for IELTS, with a strong focus on accuracy, coherence, and vocabulary development.

In my teaching, I use a student-centered and communicative approach. My lessons are structured yet flexible, starting with warm-up activities to build confidence, followed by targeted language input and guided practice. I place strong emphasis on interaction, encouraging students to speak as much as possible through role-plays, discussions, and practical tasks. I provide timely, constructive feedback and always adjust my teaching methods to suit the learner’s level, pace, and learning style to ensure consistent progress. I also integrate multimedia resources, real-life scenarios, and continuous assessment to keep lessons engaging and measurable. Building a supportive learning environment is a priority for me, where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and grow confidently at their own pace consistently together.
