Hi! Please call me Maiya.
I am from Baguio city, Philippines. My city is very different from other places in the Philippines. It is located in a mountainous region and so the climate is very comfortable. It is not hot at all. There are many English schools and foreign students in my city. I used to teach offline English lessons in one of the first English academies in my city. Later on, I shifted to teaching English online.
I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in the Social Sciences from the University of the Philippines. And then I went to Japan as an exchange student. After one school year in Tokyo, I came back to my country and worked in research for a while. Then I went back to Japan for my master’s degree.
After my master’s degree, I came back home and worked for a Japanese company for a short time. Then I went traveling around the Philippines, Southwestern China, and Southeast Asia for almost two years. When I came back home, I started to write a book while teaching English, online, as a part-time job.
My hobbies include reading books, traveling, mountain climbing, dancing, and painting.

What to Expect From My Lessons?
As much as possible, I would like my lessons be tailored or targeted according to the student’s needs or special requests. However, I would like to focus on improving a student’s communication or English conversation skills. This is because based on my observation and experience, a lot of ESL students from East Asia study a lot of grammar in school but lack practical application when it comes to real-life situations. Due to a lack of immersion in an English environment, both listening and speaking are very weak points. I wish to provide a comfortable, relaxed, and fun atmosphere for English learners to practice and gain confidence in speaking in English.
