I am Maria Famela Franco from the Philippines, specializing in reading, writing, speaking, vocabulary, debate, and public speaking. I am an energetic, compassionate, and goal-oriented educator deeply ... committed to helping students reach their full potential. My primary focus is fostering growth and improvement in learners, enabling them to confidently showcase their abilities. I hold a 120-hour TEFL certificate, along with certifications in IELTS, ESL, and TOEFL, and I have received Best Teacher Awards for two consecutive years while working in an international school. My passion for continuous learning drives me to read books that expand my knowledge, which has inspired me to teach Reading to ESL, IELTS, and TOEFL students. In these classes, I emphasize the development of comprehension skills and critical thinking. In addition to reading, I have a strong passion for writing that began during my time in Journalism. Writing, particularly essays, has always been a means for me to express myself and connect with others. This enthusiasm led me to offer Writing lessons for ESL learners, guiding them in developing their writing skills and effectively communicating in English. I take pride in delivering lessons with enthusiasm and clarity, ensuring that each moment in the classroom is engaging, meaningful, and rich in valuable learning experiences. My ultimate goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to improve and succeed, fostering their love for learning and self-expression.read more
