Hi! I am an English as Second Language (ESL) Teacher and Teacher Trainer.
I have been teaching English for eleven years to mostly foreign missionary students who come here to learn English as a springboard to learning the local languages they will be immersed in their future ministry.
I have trained teachers in enhancing their pronunciation and phonetic skills in order to be a more effective teacher. Concepts in language teaching and learning were also a couple of my topics in the training-seminar I have done in Christian Language Study Center.
I am currently connected with the Loyola School of Theology, where I teach Expository Writing and Research I and II.

Cheers to all! :rolleyes1:

Yes, English may tend to be difficult at times, but I am glad that in spite of that you still find it interesting.

All the best to you!

Oh I see! Is this a pool of teachers? This site is very interesting! Before, I was a bit hesitant because English can make or break you at some point. Though I'm a teacher we never really implemented the Speak-English policy in our school before. Now I have a tutorial center and this site is very useful at the same time very entertaining. I'm open to suggestions, if I have incorrect grammar in my posts you can make suggestions. There's a lot of space for improvement. Nice meeting you! :newbie:

:thankyou: I admire your openness! ^^

The site is open to everyone, but for sure, there are a good number of teachers around, and every day, we keep discovering a new one. :lol:

Nice meeting you and all the best to you and your tutorial center.
