Hi, I’m Marianne M. Salado, a graduate of Bachelor of Secondary Education and a TEFL-certified teacher. With 2 years of experience teaching English online, I specialize in helping students improve their skills for meetings, presentations, and conversations. I also have a passion for public speaking and networking, which I integrate into my lessons to keep things engaging. My focus is on speaking, reading, listening, and improving grammar, pronunciation, and intonation. I want my students to feel confident, heard, and excited. Let’s work together to achieve your language and career goals! I graduated with a Bachelor's in Secondary Education from the University of Southern Mindanao in June 2024. During my studies, I gained strong knowledge in pedagogy, educational psychology, and curriculum design. My teaching practice at Kidapawan City National High School allowed me to apply my skills, engage with students, and adapt lessons to meet diverse learning needs, helping me grow as a compassionate educator.

I'm a dedicated English tutor and have a genuine enthusiasm for helping people improve their language skills. Having completed my own GCSEs and A-Levels in England and currently studying at the University of Bristol, I understand the pressures students face and know how to make learning feel less overwhelming. My previous tutoring experience has taught me that every student learns differently, which is why I tailor each lesson to individual needs and learning styles. I believe that learning English should be engaging and confidence-building rather than intimidating. Whether you're preparing for GCSE exams or looking to improve your conversational skills, I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where you feel comfortable making mistakes and celebrating progress. My goal is to help you not just learn English, but to use it naturally and confidently in real-world situations. I'm patient, encouraging, and always happy to explain concepts in different ways until they click. I completed my GCSEs and A-Levels in England at St Benedict's School in Ealing with strong results, which led to my acceptance at the University of Bristol where I am currently studying Spanish and Italian. My language studies have deepened my understanding of grammar structures, pronunciation patterns, and the challenges of mastering a new language. This multilingual academic focus has given me valuable insight into how languages work and how to explain complex concepts clearly. I've experienced firsthand the process of language acquisition, which helps me empathise with students who are learning English as a second language. My academic journey has provided me with comprehensive knowledge of the UK education system and its requirements. Additionally, I hold a 120-hour advanced TEFL certification, which has equipped me with specialised teaching techniques for English language instruction.
