Hi, I’m Teacher Tina—a certified ESL instructor with 10 years of experience and 4,000 + live online classes under my belt. I hold a 120-hour TEFL certificate and a degree in Journalism, which means I pair rock-solid language pedagogy with professional writing know-how. My classroom is a stage: I weave storytelling, puppets, and live ukulele accompaniment into every lesson so that learners stay curious, laugh often, and remember what they’ve learned.

My teaching approach is multi-sensory and play-based. We sing phonics songs, act out new vocabulary, and use real-world projects—like making mini travel guides—to turn passive knowledge into active skill. Lessons are personalized through quick diagnostics and goal-tracking sheets that I share with families after each class.

Because I’m a polyglot (I currently speak four languages) and an avid traveler, I’m passionate about helping children build cross-cultural awareness alongside clear, confident English. Whether your child joins a “Storybook Adventure” reading course, a conversation club, or an “English through Ukulele” workshop, they can expect a warm, inclusive space where mistakes are celebrated as stepping-stones and progress is measured in smiles as well as skills.

What Our Classes Feel Like

Think of each lesson as a mini-adventure. We start with a story, song, or silly prop that hooks your child’s imagination. Then we discover new words and ideas through play, practice them in quick games and drills, and finally perform—sharing a mini-presentation, skit, or quiz show. I adjust the speed, hints, and extra challenges in real time so every learner feels stretched but never stuck. The result is a warm, “mistakes-welcome” space where curiosity leads the way, confidence grows with every ukulele strum, and progress is easy to see (and celebrate!) for both kids and parents.
