EXPERIENCE:
2007: I began teaching English when I co-founded and became the Executive Director of a nonprofit, non-government organization. My team and I were conducting community building exercises and medical interventions along with documentation and anthropological studies of the Ayta Magbukun(an indigenous mountain tribe), when I began informally teaching preschool-aged students basic English. Over time I was able to acquire English textbooks, storybooks, and some curriculum for the tribe and began conducting more formal English lessons with older students between the ages of 12-17.
We often taught anywhere from 20-35 students at a time.
During our regular field visits, my co-worker and I also held group lessons with some of the elders of the tribe. This went on for about 2-3 years until the local government was able to provide the community with a proper school building and more teachers.
2012: I began homeschooling my own children. They are bilingual but were essentially ESL students when I began teaching them. Local schools had done a terrible job teaching English grammar, writing, and comprehension. I took over their lessons entirely and English is now their primary language. I teach all subjects including Math, Science, Creative Writing, Social Studies, Music, Arts, etc.
2013: I created a Sunday Art Club for little girls of impoverished families in our neighborhood. I taught Arts and Crafts for free and eventually found myself conducting English reading classes.
2014: Began teaching English as a freelance online tutor to Korean families living in Manila.
2014: I was invited to teach for YouWaijiao, a popular English Online Tutoring Company based in China. I taught students of all ages and levels. During this time I prepared students for the IELTS and TOEFL exams, school interviews, job applications, and conducted cultural awareness and preparation training, and was the go-to teacher for students in the medical field.
