I am Rona from the Philippines, a dedicated educator with both a Bachelor's and a Master's Degree in Education, and a Licensed Professional Teacher since 2017. With over six years of teaching experience, I have been passionate about inspiring young minds and fostering a deep love for learning. I have taught various subjects, including English, Math, Science, and Arts, and my specialization in General Education allows me the flexibility to teach across different disciplines. My teaching approach combines positive reinforcement with tailored lessons to suit each student’s unique learning style. I strive to create a nurturing environment where every learner feels valued and empowered to succeed. I am excited to continue making a positive impact in students' lives, helping them develop confidence and a lifelong enthusiasm for learning. Southern Luzon State University provided me with both foundational and advanced knowledge in education, equipping me with essential skills in teaching and educational leadership. The comprehensive programs offered by the university have strengthened my expertise and broadened my career opportunities, allowing me to bring innovative, research-based approaches to my classroom. Through my studies there, I gained a solid foundation in educational theory and practice, as well as specialized knowledge that empowers me to make a meaningful impact on my students’ learning experiences.

I am a very approachable, kind, patient and encouraging tutor! My style of teaching is welcoming, relaxed and friendly. I have completed an Understanding Dyslexia Diploma and a SEND Diploma each at Level 3/150 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours. I specialise in tutoring English as a first language (UK curriculum) and a second language (ESL) and have taught students of all ages and abilities (children and adults) all around the world. I have around 3,000 hours of online tutoring experience online, (mostly) teaching one-to-one but I also tutor in small groups. I adapt my lessons to the needs and abilities of the individual child or adult. No two students learn the same way! I may use flashcards, videos, puppets, songs and learning games, trying to make my lessons interesting and fun as I believe that students learn best when they are engaged and enjoying the lesson. I love doing all sorts of crafts, for example crocheting, painting rocks and making sock toys. I enjoy walking and taking photos in the beautiful Devon countryside and going to coffee shops with my friends. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me! Thank you! I have a passion for teaching English and I love to help students be the best that they can be! I have completed my Understanding Dyslexia diploma and SEND diploma each at Level 3/150 CPD hours.
