Hi, I'm Teacher Hidy! I'm a passionate ESL teacher with 5 years of experience. I create engaging, supportive, and dynamic classroom environments. Using interactive activities, multimedia, and real-world scenarios, I make learning enjoyable and relevant. I adapt to different learning styles and emphasize cultural sensitivity. My teaching philosophy focuses on patience, empathy, and positive reinforcement. My goal is to build students' confidence and help them succeed in English. Let's learn and grow together! I hold a bachelor’s degree in general education from Caraga State University, with a strong foundation in language acquisition, linguistics, and teaching methodologies. My academic journey and ESL certification (TESOL/TEFL) have equipped me with the skills to teach English effectively. With hands-on experience in lesson planning, classroom management, and student assessments, I’ve developed a passion for ESL teaching. My career spans diverse students and settings, enhancing my ability to address various learning needs.

Hi, I’m Nicole, an energetic and passionate English teacher! I love helping students learn language in interesting and creative ways. I use engaging discussions, interactive activities, and hands-on projects to help them connect with the lessons and express themselves confidently. My goal is to build a classroom environment that is fun, inclusive, and encouraging for every learner. I believe that learning should be meaningful and enjoyable, and I do my best to make each class exciting and supportive. In my free time, I enjoy watching musical theatre shows and Broadway musicals, spending time with my dog, and volunteering with an organization dedicated to rescuing and caring for stray animals. These hobbies keep me motivated and full of positive energy in the classroom. I graduated with a degree in Communication Arts. My education equipped me with strong communication skills, creativity, and a deep understanding of media and interpersonal dynamics. Throughout my teaching journey, I have taught students of various age groups—from children to adults—across different English proficiency levels. I have also had the opportunity to work with learners with special needs, including those with ADHD, Autism, and Down Syndrome. These experiences have helped me become more patient, flexible, and empathetic in my approach, ensuring that each student receives the support they need to learn, grow, and feel confident in their abilities.

Ich bin 51 Jahre alt, durfte schon einigen Schülern bei ihren Schulproblemen helfen, was mir immer wieder sehr viel Freude bereitet. Vor allem, wenn der Erfolg nicht ausbleibt. Ich arbeite auch sehr gerne mit Erwachsenen jeder Altersgruppe, auch da durfte ich schon viel an wertvoller Erfahrung sammeln. Momentan bringe ich mir Spanisch selbst bei und bin nicht abgeneigt, es auch mit Französisch zu versuchen. Dann wären die romanischen Sprachen ent und -abgedeckt:) Ich streame sehr gerne ausländische Serien, vorzugsweise in englischer und italienischer Sprache, um immer am Laufenden zu bleiben. Ich habe den Master in Germanistik sowie Anglistik. In Italienisch sind meine Kenntnisse auch ziemlich gut, da bilde ich mich hauptsächlich selbst weiter. Humor und Offenheit sind meine Stärken, damit gelingt es mir schnell, andere Mitmenschen zu gewinnen und Vertrauen aufzubauen. Mein Lebensmotto lautet: Geht nicht, gibt's nicht. Wenn es doch nicht geht, wähle ich einen Umweg, bis es klappt. Abschluss der 5-jährigen Handelsakademie mit Abitur /Matura. Zusätzliche Fremdsprache: Italienisch (Abitur /Matura wurde in diesem Fach mündlich abgelegt). Studium an der Universität Klagenfurt in Österreich: Anglistik in Kombination mit Germanistik / Deutsche Philologie.

Hi, I’m Stephen, a passionate and determined educator who loves learning and sharing that enthusiasm with others. I strive to create a learning space filled with curiosity and wonder, whether in literature or the sciences, helping students explore, question, and grow. Watching my students progress step by step and reach new heights is what drives me as a teacher. Outside of teaching, I’m a gamer, a photographer, and a farmer. Lately, I’ve also been diving into writing, exploring storytelling as another way to inspire and create. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology, majoring in microbiology. Throughout my studies, I had multiple opportunities to tutor others, which sparked my passion for education. Later, I branched out into teaching English to ESL students, where I found great fulfillment in helping learners grow in confidence and communication. Each year, my experience deepens, becoming more specialized as I refine my approach to teaching. I take pride in my ability to adapt seamlessly, both in the moment and through careful planning, to ensure each student gets the support they need to succeed.
