Hi! I'm Meinard, a TESOL certified Professional Teacher from Davao City, Philippines! Besides teaching, I am a hobbyist photographer. I like to discuss movies, music, Philosophy, and anything under the sun.
I have students from many different industries: Business Management, HR, Software Development, Hospitality, and the like- with varied language levels. I believe the language level is not an obstacle as long as the learner is determined. So, I hope to have you in my lessons soon!
Me as a Teacher
It has always been my core to help others to better themselves whether working as an IT Engineer dealing with technical stuff or as an English teacher. Even before teaching, I've always been asked by my friends and colleagues to proofread, check and evaluate their English compositions and the like. I can assure my students that they will have a great learning experience based on the proficiency level and at their own pace.
My lessons & teaching style
The lessons I provide will be customized to the student's skill and learning level based upon the initial assessment. There are various learning packages that I would suggest they could book according to their results. From time to time, I would evaluate the progress of the students.

Meinard is an excellent teacher. He explains things thoroughly and ensures that you're following and understanding the content. He is well prepared with material and made sure that the lesson was tailored to me and and where in my Tagalog journey I'm in. I'm definitely looking forward to lessons in the future. Maraming Salamat!

Salamat po sa thorough review ng mga pandiwa na mapa prefix. Mas maliwanag ngayon sa akin ang difference between mapa at magpa. Susubukan ko ang bagong listahan ng mapa verbs para yung susunod na aralin namin. Hanggang sa muli!

Pinag-usapan natin ang mga pagkakaiba sa dialects/accents ng wikang frances sa Canada, at ng wikang tagalog din. Salamat po rin sa aralin at sa rekomendasyon na pelikula. Kita-kits!
