Hello there! I'm Teacher Berna. I'm from Rizal, Philippines. I'm an ESL teacher, and I'm earning a TESOL certificate from Arizona State University. I'm willing to assist the students in learning the language and enhancing their communication skills. 

I'm a graduate of the Bachelor of Arts in English with experience teaching Asian students, both kids and adults. I have experience teaching both online and face-to-face. I'm a highly motivated and dedicated person with strong communication and interpersonal skills who is enthusiastic, goal-oriented, and passionate about my profession. I also love helping others improve their English.

When I have free time, I usually spend it with my family and my adorable pets. I walk my dog and watch the beautiful sunset outside at the park. I love the colors of the sunset, which are splendid to stare at. It gives me nostalgic feelings because of my memories of the sunset at the beach in my province, Boracay. 

There are times that I read books and manga that I'm interested in. I really love fictional and historical books.  I like manga and watching anime like Spy Family (of course I love Anya!), One Piece, HunterXHunter, Slam Dunk, Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer), Jujutsu Kaisen, Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter), Detective Conan, and Dragon Ball. I also study other languages and watch movies and series as a hobby.

Sharing knowledge and teaching the English way of writing, speaking, pronunciation, and grammar is a pleasure for me as an ESL teacher. It gives me joy and excitement to meet learners around the world. I would love to share my enthusiasm with the learners on this platform. I love teaching students, and I'm happy to see them learning from me. I'm willing to help you improve your skills gradually. I believe that learning is a continuous, lifelong process that helps you in your journey of discoveries and milestones toward achieving your goals and broadens your horizons.

My strengths include my ability to be flexible and adaptable, and I pay close attention, particularly in the areas of grammar, vocabulary usage, and pronunciation. I use a variety of strategies, such as collaborative learning and student-led discussions, to encourage all students to participate. I provide positive feedback and motivate the students.

As a teacher, I worked hard to do my best for my learners, to create a lively teaching environment without pressure, and to ensure that they learned and had fun while learning. I'll make our class as lively as possible. I'm looking forward to seeing you in my class. Thank you so much. Have a great day!
