講師詳細Teacher's Details

Hello!  My name is Karla Marie Ponce.  I was born and raised and educated in the Philippines. Simultaneous to my career as an online English trainer, I also do manage my own construction company. So one of my specialties is Business English.

I have been an online English tutor for 7 years and I have taught Chinese, Korean and Japanese kids, teenagers and adults in a more formal conversational one on one setting. My own preferred method for Free Talking class is just to look for some really interesting content, something that would ignite your interest. It could be an article about your favorite sports, hobbies, passion and career and then use that to generate a rich and stimulating conversation.

However,  if you’ve got a specific need and objective like you’re going abroad to study or to relocate. That’s where my specialty comes in since I’m also certified to teach IELTS speaking both academic and general. For this reason, I can assist you to improve your English-speaking skills.  With 7 years of experience teaching ESL, I'm confident in my ability to create engaging and effective lessons.

In the beginning, I would encourage you to memorize useful idioms, phrasal verbs and phrases so that you make less mistakes in the real exam. You might perceive that IELTS speaking is quite difficult, but if you find the right strategy, it’s not as bad as you think.

My general speaking class is very dynamic and challenging at the same time. I will also teach you how to use grammar, idioms, and euphemism in a proper context.

One of my hobbies is hitting the gym. I’m a regular down the gym, working out at least three times a week, like clockwork. I know it’s important to look after your physical health, as that also affects our mental health, right?

I would love to help you build more confidence with your English. So I invite you to take a class with me and let’s see if we can help you reach your English objectives.
