Edward

Hi, I'm Edward! I'm a 42-year-old American with a passion for traveling, cooking, watching movies, reading books, playing chess, creating business courses, and most importantly, spending time with my amazing 4-year-old daughter. I've lived in 13 countries and traveled to 51, with many more adventures to come. I spend most of my time in the Philippines and frequently visit the United States. I graduated with a degree in Business Administration focused on Information Technology, and in 2010, I earned my CELTA certificate in Seville, Spain. Since then, I’ve spent over 14 years teaching English—business, general, and for exams like TOEFL and Cambridge tests. My teaching has taken me from classrooms to company boardrooms and online platforms, where I’ve connected with students from around the globe. My professional journey in teaching English has allowed me to specialize in various sectors of Business English. From financial services and healthcare to IT and hospitality, I’ve developed tailored curriculums that address the specific vocabulary and communication skills needed in each industry. This sector-specific approach helps my students not only learn English but also become fluent in the professional language of their chosen field. When it comes to my teaching methodology, I believe in a communicative approach where language learning is both functional and contextual. This means I focus on real-life applications of language skills, integrating scenario-based learning that enhances speaking, writing, listening, and reading abilities in actual business environments. My lessons are interactive, combining theory with practical exercises to encourage active student engagement. I also utilize a variety of digital tools to create dynamic and accessible learning materials that cater to diverse learning styles and needs. My primary goal is to guide you to become as fluent in English as possible in the shortest time, depending on your availability, commitment, and needs. Whether your goals are related to exams, Business English, General English, or any other specific interests, I am passionate about helping you achieve success.
