Hi there! I’m Chrissa Marie, but you can call me Teacher Issa. With nearly 6 years of teaching experience, I’ve spent most of my time helping kids grow and thrive, but don’t worry—I can vibe with anyone, from curious little learners to passionate adults. Known for being approachable and easy to talk to, I make learning English a fun and comfortable experience. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me enjoying music, watching movies, or spending time with my beloved dogs. I believe learning should be as enjoyable as your favourite playlist and as rewarding as finishing a great movie. So, whether you’re here to ace your grammar, boost your confidence, or just chat your way to fluency, I’m here to make it happen. Let’s make English your new best friend—I can’t wait to start this journey with you! I graduated from the prestigious University of Santo Tomas in Manila with a Bachelor of Elementary Education, majoring in Early Childhood Education. My specialized training equipped me with a deep understanding of child development, innovative teaching strategies, and the ability to design creative and effective learning experiences tailored to young learners. With nearly 6 years of teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of shaping the minds of young students, fostering their love for learning, and building their confidence in language and communication. My background in early childhood education has honed my ability to connect with learners of all ages, making each lesson engaging, interactive, and personalized to their needs. As an experienced teacher, I bring patience, creativity, and enthusiasm to every session, ensuring a supportive and enjoyable environment for my students to thrive in their English journey.

I am John Carlo Pontilllas, a licensed mechanical engineer, master plumber, board exam top-notcher, and instructor with five years of combined experience in engineering and teaching Math, Science, and Engineering. As a private tutor, I am passionate about helping students understand challenging concepts, tailor lessons to their individual needs, and build confidence in their abilities. I take pride in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive. With my expertise and dedication, I aim to help students reach their academic goals and develop a deeper understanding of the subjects they study. Let's reach your academic goals together! I hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. As a city scholar, I balanced academic excellence with practical experiences. My licensure as a Mechanical Engineer and Master Plumber reflects my dedication to professional growth. Beyond engineering, my teaching experience in Math and Science has deepened my ability to simplify complex topics, ensuring students reach their full potential.
