Hello! I’m Teacher Kolleen, a passionate and dedicated educator with seven years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have had the privilege of teaching a wide range of subjects—Math, English, and Science for primary and lower secondary students, as well as Music, Arts, and Computer Technology at the upper secondary level. My greatest motivation comes from witnessing those “Aha!” moments when students finally grasp challenging concepts. I particularly enjoy guiding learners through mathematics, and I have successfully helped both local and international students prepare for assessments such as the National Achievement Test (NAT). My teaching approach is dynamic, student-centered, and engaging. I adapt to each learner’s unique needs by incorporating visual aids, charts, and digital tools for visual learners. I make lessons meaningful by connecting academic concepts to real-life examples and integrating interactive activities like puzzles, word hunts, and Sudoku to sustain interest and curiosity. For example, when teaching Linear Functions—a topic students often find abstract—I relate it to everyday experiences, such as calculating a taxi fare. This helps them understand slope and y-intercept intuitively before translating them into equations, tables, and graphs. By combining hands-on examples, visuals, and guided practice, I help students gain confidence and clarity. Outside the classroom, I nurture my creativity through music and art—I love singing, painting, and playing the piano, guitar, and ukulele. I’m eager to bring my enthusiasm and expertise to your team to help students thrive. Hello, I’m Teacher Kolleen, and I’d like to share a bit about my educational background and professional training. I graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Elementary Education, major in General Education. During my undergraduate years, I was an Academic Excellence Awardee, a Dean’s Lister, and a scholar under the Tulong Pang-Edukasyon para sa Bulakenyo program. I also served as Treasurer of the COEd-Generalist Society and worked as a student assistant at the College of Science and Mathematics. To further enhance my leadership and management skills, I am currently completing my thesis for the Master of Arts in Educational Management at Bulacan State University Graduate School, having already finished 39 academic units. I also continue to expand my knowledge through online learning. At the University of the Philippines Open University, I completed micro courses in Graphic Design and Typography, Business Analytics, and Technology for Teaching and Learning. In addition, I trained with Canva Design School, taking up programs such as AI in the Classroom, Graphic Design Essentials, and Teaching Essentials. Over the years, I’ve also developed strong skills in online teaching, Microsoft Office 365, Google Workspace, Adobe Suites, and Canva Professional. As a Licensed Professional Teacher, I believe that continuous learning and innovation are key to empowering today’s learners and preparing them for the future.

Hallo! Ich heiße Nora und studiere Statistik und Data Science. Ich gebe Nachhilfe in Mathe, Deutsch, Biologie, Chemie und Englisch und liebe es, meinen Schülerinnen zu zeigen, dass Lernen wirklich Spaß machen kann! Mir ist wichtig, dass jeder versteht, wie Lernen funktioniert und wie schön es sich anfühlt, eigene Fortschritte zu sehen. Mein Ziel ist es, gemeinsam Freude und Motivation zu entwickeln, damit du Schritt für Schritt selbstständig und mit Selbstvertrauen lernen kannst. Ich nehme mir Zeit, erkläre mit Geduld und finde immer einen Weg, schwierige Themen verständlich und spannend zu machen. Lernen soll sich bei mir nicht nach Druck anfühlen – sondern nach einem positiven, motivierenden Erlebnis, bei dem du dich wohlfühlst und stolz auf dich sein kannst. Nach meinem Schulabschluss habe ich ein FSJ im Krankenhaus gemacht, weil ich schon immer großes Interesse an Medizin und am Umgang mit Menschen hatte. Diese Zeit hat mir gezeigt, wie erfüllend es ist, anderen zu helfen – und mich dazu motiviert, mich zusätzlich auf den MedAT vorzubereiten. Gleichzeitig studiere ich Statistik und Data Science, weil ich Mathe einfach liebe und gern analytisch denke. Das Studium hilft mir auch dabei, strukturiert und logisch an Probleme heranzugehen – eine Fähigkeit, die ich super ins Unterrichten einbringen kann. Durch meine Erfahrungen im FSJ, im Studium und in der Nachhilfe habe ich gelernt, geduldig, verständnisvoll und motivierend zu arbeiten, um gemeinsam echte Lernerfolge zu erreichen.
