Native Teacher

Michael
Native Speaker
Michael (Michael Shive)
Message from the teacher

Hi! I'm Michael, originally from Arizona in the United States. I teach conversation, vocabulary and pronunciation, especially syllable pronunciation and understanding parts of speech.

In group classes, I try to create a relaxed atmosphere where students can speak and share their opinions with confidence. These discussions serve as a starting point for a natural flow of conversation, and I encourage students to take an active part in casual chats.

In class I use topics close to students' everyday lives. I also bring in my own experiences in the United States so that lessons are interesting and easy to relate to.

I actively include vocabulary building and pronunciation practice. In particular, by paying attention to syllable breaks and stress patterns, I help students speak English more clearly and naturally, and gain confidence when expressing themselves.

My goal is to offer classes in which students take an active, leading role. I always try to make sure that what is learned can be applied to real life and, above all, that it is fun.

Group Class Teachers

Filrose (Filrose Mejorada)
Message from the teacher

Hi! I'm Filrose. You can just call me Rose. I have been teaching group classes at this school for 15 years.

Over these years I have had the chance to work with students of very different levels and backgrounds, and I have supported their growth as they gained confidence and improved their English in a pleasant, mutually supportive atmosphere.

My specialty is conversation, vocabulary building and speaking fluency. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my students use English more naturally in real life and express themselves with ever greater richness.

If you are thinking about studying abroad, this is the perfect time to improve your communication skills. I will support you so that you can face the challenges ahead with excitement and confidence.

Freci

Freci (Frecila Adao)
Message from the teacher

Hello, future students! I'm Freci. I am the teacher in charge of group classes and TOEIC preparation.

My classes are not just about sitting down to study. I value learning efficiently and practicing consistently, while creating a motivating and fun atmosphere.

Every class includes interesting conversation topics, so you will gradually gain confidence and speaking ability. In lessons we practice conversation that is useful in real life and efficiently learn the topic-based vocabulary that often appears on the TOEIC.

Whether you are taking your first steps in English or you are an advanced student looking to raise your score, I will adapt to your level and we will work together with dedication.

Teacher
George (Jurdyn Sillave)
Message from the teacher

Hello! I have more than 10 years of experience as an ESL (English as a second language) teacher, and I have always aimed to make learning English fun and accessible for everyone.

For me, it is essential to create a relaxed and mutually supportive atmosphere where students can learn and grow at ease.

What fulfills me most is seeing the moment when a student's face lights up after mastering a new skill or giving a good presentation.

Outside the classroom, my passion for education continues: I lead group activities for young people and take part in initiatives that support children's development. Music is also another form of creative expression for me, and I often bring it into my classes to make learning English more enjoyable and memorable.

With patience, passion and never settling for less, my goal is for every student to be able to speak English with confidence. Let's turn learning into an adventure together!

Kirk
Teacher
Kirk (Kirk Joseph Velos)
Message from the teacher

Teaching is one of the most wonderful jobs in the world. I love teaching; this job is, quite literally, my dream come true.

My name is Kirk. New students may find it a little hard to pronounce at first, but don't worry: in my class I will teach you not only to pronounce my name correctly, but also every new English word.

And that's not all. I will also teach you study methods that keep paying off after you graduate. I take care of everything related to English fluency and practical ways to learn and use it.

For example, I incorporate practices such as thinking in English, shadowing, reading aloud, effective vocabulary-acquisition techniques, American English pronunciation, controlled, semi-controlled and free speaking practice, and integrated English activities, among others. If you are not familiar with these methods, that is exactly a good reason to study at 3D ACADEMY. Here you will learn not only to “use” English, but to “like” learning it.

Let's learn English together and enjoy it! Every week I look forward to meeting new students. I hope to have the chance to be your teacher. See you soon!

Message from the teacher

Hello! My name is Mel. I have 9 years of experience as an English teacher.

This path began with online classes alongside students of different nationalities. That experience sharpened my teaching skills and was the starting point of my professional growth.

My specialty is conversational English. My goal is for students to be able to communicate confidently and effectively in both informal and formal contexts. I also teach IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL and business English classes.

In group classes, I address each student individually and encourage them to participate so that everyone is actively involved. In this way, I create a lively learning space where everyone feels safe to express themselves.

If you are thinking about studying abroad, I highly recommend learning English in Cebu, the Philippines. Dare to break away from the everyday and immerse yourself in new experiences and endless possibilities.

Exam Preparation Teachers(IELTS/TOEIC/TOEFL)

Aya
Head Teacher
Aya (Ayana Monares)
Message from the teacher

Hello! I'm Teacher Aya. I have more than 6 years of experience teaching English.

I specialize in “survival English group classes,” in which I teach the English that is really used in daily life: in restaurants, airports, cafes, supermarkets and public transport. In class we also include role-play and simulation activities to build the confidence needed to speak English outside the classroom.

I also support students who are preparing for working holiday programs, helping them write their resume and practice interviews for their next step. In addition, I teach general English (ESL), IELTS preparation, TOEIC preparation and business English.

Learning English is not easy, but with the right mindset and constant practice, anyone can certainly improve. I encourage my students to speak boldly, not to fear failure, and to actively engage with classmates from other cultures.

Philip
Teacher(IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL)
Philip (Philip Bandala)
Message from the teacher

I am an ESL teacher specializing in IELTS preparation.

I teach classes aimed at beginner and intermediate students, which strengthen the foundations of English while progressively developing the skills needed for the IELTS, especially listening and writing.

In class I combine practical, goal-oriented lessons, tips and clear explanations, interactive activities and mock exams very similar to the real one, all adapted to each student's level and target score, to strengthen both English level and exam skills in a balanced way.

I also offer detailed feedback and individual support, striving to overcome the challenges my students face together with them. Many of them have significantly improved their IELTS score thanks to my classes, and accompanying that progress fills me with pride and satisfaction.

Allie
Teacher(IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL)
Allie (Rosalie Quintero)
Message from the teacher

Joseph Joubert once said that “to teach is to learn twice.” Teaching English to foreigners is certainly a challenge, but every effort invested brings learning of incalculable value.

I have 2 years of experience as an English teacher, during which I have taught ESL classes, group classes, and TOEIC and IELTS preparation.

In ESL classes I mainly teach grammar, speaking and reading. Grammar often has a reputation for being “difficult,” but I believe that the more complex the content, the more effective a simple explanation becomes.

In group classes I do not limit myself to traditional teaching that follows the textbook; I aim to make classes enjoyable and enriching at the same time. For example, I use games as a teaching tool, making sure students learn naturally.

And in specialized classes such as TOEIC or IELTS, instead of teaching in which “the teacher gives everything,” I guide students to think, explore and discover their own potential for themselves. This way, knowledge settles in more deeply and is remembered better.

In short, experience is the best teacher, and when the teacher prepares a suitable study plan and goals, all students can learn effectively. And, above all, learning is teamwork: if the student's willingness to collaborate and the teacher's effort come together, anything is possible.

MJ
Teacher(IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL)
MJ (Mary Jane Go)
Message from the teacher

Hello, welcome! My name is Mary Jane, but everyone calls me “MJ.” Yes, I'm that slightly quirky, fun and energetic teacher you may already have heard about.

I have been teaching English for more than 25 years, and I currently teach group classes at 3D. Most of my lessons are based on real-life situations, because I firmly believe that language learning should be practical, meaningful and fun.

We do role-plays of everyday situations, hold lively debates and work on creative projects. All with one goal: learning English effectively and entertainingly.

My teaching style? Dynamic, student-centered and very unique. I'm not the typical “textbook teacher.” I encourage my students to think outside the box, take risks and express themselves with confidence. Sometimes formality is necessary too, but I like to adapt my approach flexibly to each person's needs, goals and personality.

There are no prefabricated lessons. What there are, are personalized, flexible classes that grow with you. Whether you are a beginner, someone looking to gain confidence at the intermediate level, or someone who wants to polish your fluency at the advanced level, count on me. I also work with business professionals and with students preparing for important exams such as IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL or Eiken.

My way of teaching is “supportive, encouraging and results-oriented.” I will be with you throughout your English-learning journey. Hearing my students say “I passed the exam!” or “Now I have the confidence to study or travel abroad!” is the most rewarding moment of my work. But this is always achieved as a team: I try to create a classroom where every voice is respected and all students can grow equally.

I am also proud to be a “patient and approachable” mentor. I offer personalized support and kind guidance so that each student can overcome their challenges at their own pace. In my class, no one is left behind. Let's move forward together.

To everyone who dreams of studying abroad: don't let fear or insecurity stop you. The experience of studying abroad is worth it, to the point of changing your life. Broaden your horizons, perfect your English and grow enormously, both academically and personally. United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, United States... whatever the destination, let's prepare together, from exams to practical English. Let's make English your passport to the world!

Ryan (Ryan Luague)
Message from the teacher

Hello! My name is Ryan. I am an ESL (English as a second language) teacher with extensive experience teaching non-native English speakers from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My teaching style focuses on creating a participatory, inclusive and supportive learning environment in which students can practice English with confidence and improve their skills.

I am especially dedicated to developing communication skills, teaching grammar, strengthening vocabulary and preparing for exams such as the IELTS and TOEIC, adapting my teaching to each student's needs.

What I find most rewarding about teaching ESL is seeing my students gain confidence in their English and connect with the world through the language. I make sure all my classes are interactive and related to real life. My goal is not only to improve English level, but also to broaden cultural understanding and global perspective.

I am also passionate about continuous learning, and I am always looking for new teaching methods and tools to make language learning more effective and enjoyable. With my experience and skills, I want to fully support my students in achieving their language goals.

Shahanie (Shahanie Veraque)
Message from the teacher

Hello, everyone! I'm Teacher Shahanie. I have been teaching English for about 7 years. Over these 7 years of teaching experience I have had the opportunity to meet students from very diverse cultural backgrounds and nationalities.

My area of specialization is teaching English, focused especially on preparation for the TOEIC and IELTS exams. For students preparing for the TOEIC, I place great importance on developing business English skills, with classes focused on improving listening, reading and vocabulary. In addition to exam preparation, I offer practical and enjoyable classes to improve overall English level.

For students preparing for the IELTS, I teach classes focused on improving academic English skills (reading, listening and speaking), offering feedback and advice tailored to each student's needs.

I also teach group classes, in which I use various teaching methods to adapt to different learning styles, encouraging exchange and discussion among students.

Studying abroad can become a wonderful, life-changing experience. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture, learn from diverse perspectives and acquire very valuable skills. “No matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop, all will be well.” Trust yourself and your potential.

Teacher(IELTS, TOEIC)
En-En (Karstine Villahermosa)
Message from the teacher

Hello! My name is Karstine C. Villahermosa. I am an experienced ESL (English as a second language) teacher, specializing in teaching beginner and intermediate students.

I have taught at various schools and worked with students from very different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I am good at creating personalized lessons for each student, helping them develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in a balanced way.

My teaching style is very patient and places great importance on encouragement. I try to create a safe environment, especially for students who lack confidence in their English or who feel uneasy about learning something new for the first time.

I consider it essential that learning is fun, practical and meaningful. Stepping into unfamiliar territory takes courage, but at the same time it is an opportunity to discover new potential in yourself.

Learning English is not just about memorizing grammar and vocabulary. It is preparation for expressing yourself, connecting with other people and moving forward with confidence into a new world. I will accompany your English-learning journey not only as a teacher, but as someone who truly believes in your potential. Let's do our best together!

Michelle (Ma. Michelle Boyles)
Message from the teacher

Hello! I'm Teacher Michelle. I hope everyone reading this message is doing well.

I am a flexible and energetic teacher who has taught beginner and intermediate ESL (English as a second language) classes. Teaching English requires patience and understanding, especially when dealing with students from diverse backgrounds. But teaching is my passion, so I am always looking for effective ways to support my students.

Above all, I place importance on building a relationship of trust with my students, because communication is essential in learning. Once that foundation is in place, I present the approach and study strategies so that it is clear what will be learned in each class.

I have also taught specialized classes such as reading for the TOEIC or listening for the IELTS. These classes come with their challenges, but I am always open to new opportunities for learning and growth. I also have experience teaching group classes, flexibly adapting my teaching methods to students' needs.

For those who are about to start learning English: learning English takes effort, perseverance and a clear purpose. Don't forget to stay motivated and keep learning!

Bensi
Teacher(IELTS)
Bensi (Jane Bensi)
Message from the teacher

Hello, I'm Bensi. I am a teacher at 3D Academy. I will soon complete 11 years of teaching at this school.

I started in this profession out of curiosity, but now it has become a fundamental part of making my dream come true. Teaching English to international students fills me with joy and happiness.

In my classes I focus on vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar and pronunciation, as well as communicative practice that uses that knowledge, such as debates, discussions and presentations.

I believe that when ESL (teaching English as a second language) is taught the right way, a more conducive learning environment is created. In addition, by applying that knowledge in daily life, the “ability to use English” is truly strengthened and the real value of learning ESL is understood.

I will do my best so that the process of learning English has real meaning for all my students.

If you are thinking about studying abroad, it is the beginning of a very exciting journey! New opportunities, friendships and great personal growth await you.

In my classes I focus especially on “speaking” and “vocabulary,” because I believe that strong communication is the key to success in a different environment.

I have taught both one-on-one and group classes, and in any setting I try to create an atmosphere where everyone can participate and express themselves comfortably. I also include fun and creative activities so that learning is relaxed and natural.

Whether you are a beginner or someone looking to improve even further, don't worry: I adapt my classes to your level and goals. If you are looking for a kind, patient and committed teacher, I'm a good choice!

Message from the teacher

“Teaching means giving the best of yourself to share your knowledge and experience with students.”

Hi, I'm Nes! As an ESL (English as a second language) teacher, I enjoy helping my students improve their English and discovering together the charm of this “universal language.”

I believe that learning English should be pleasant and enjoyable, and I always try to create that kind of atmosphere. I believe a teacher should be patient, kind, honest and responsible. Whether with beginners or intermediate students, I strive to move forward with dedication and calm, bringing out the full potential of each student.

This is my first formal experience as an ESL teacher, but my previous internships have helped me enormously to relate to different types of students and to develop my teaching ability.

My priority is to create a positive and engaging learning environment in which everyone feels safe to participate. If you truly want to learn English seriously, I will support you wholeheartedly and we will work together. Join our team!

Bong
Teacher(IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL)
Bong (Mary Flor Bonghanoy)
Message from the teacher

Hello! How are you? I'm Teacher Bong. I have been teaching English for 14 years. I started in this profession right after New Year 2011.

I currently teach at 3D ACADEMY, and previously I worked continuously at USPF-ESL Roly Poly, ZEN English-Roly Poly and Genius English, among others. I also have 7 years of experience as a teacher at a public high school.

Through my experience teaching ESL, I have learned to understand students from Asian countries such as Japan, Taiwan and Korea, among others, and to adapt my teaching methods accordingly.

In my classes I focus on what each student needs to improve their English communication, whether it is speaking, listening, reading, writing, or several of these areas at once. In addition to ESL courses, I also teach specialized courses such as TOEIC, IELTS, TOEFL and business English.

In group classes, active student participation is essential. Thanks to it, listening and speaking skills improve, and enriching discussions arise within the classroom. In exam-preparation classes such as TOEIC, IELTS and TOEFL, I focus on learning effective techniques through daily practice exercises. Setting a target score and “studying smart” instead of simply “working hard” is the key to success.

Learning English is never an easy road, but let's take on the challenge while enjoying it. To everyone who will meet me: if you feel that I am the right teacher for you, you are welcome in my class!

Raven
Teacher(IELTS, TOEIC)
Raven (Mae Anne Basarte)
Message from the teacher

Hello, I'm Raven. I have been teaching English to students who learn it as a second language for many years. It has truly been many years since I entered this field.

Let me share a little about my journey as an ESL (English as a second language) teacher. It all began when I tried working for a month as a camp teacher at a Korean school. Afterward, I applied to another local Korean ESL school and worked there for several years.

That period had, quite literally, its ups and downs. For example, I once studied and transcribed all the units of “Basic Grammar” in less than a week to meet my students' needs. As a result, the lack of sleep affected my health, but without that experience I would not have learned so many valuable lessons.

In 2015 I changed schools and had the opportunity to work at 3D ACADEMY. The first year I devoted myself to teaching grammar and speaking, but on the recommendation of the Academic Director at the time, I began my career in teaching IELTS in earnest.

A piece of advice for those who are about to learn English or have already started: “Don't be afraid of making mistakes; accept your errors and use them to keep moving forward.”

Drea

Drea (Andreah Gail Justalero)

Hello, everyone! My name is Andreah Gail L. Justalero, but call me “Teacher Dreah.” I have been working as an ESL teacher at 3D ACADEMY for about 3 years. During that time I have also taught other courses, such as IELTS, TOEIC and business English.

I am someone who finds happiness in small things, and in my free time I like to end the day listening to music or watching movies. Music adds color to my life, and film lets me explore different facets of the world and of life. Lately I have also become hooked on hiking.

Through my teaching experience I have learned a lot about how to relate to students from different backgrounds and about how culture influences people. In my classes I value interactive and collaborative learning, creating an environment in which students can develop their English skills. In addition, I assess students' understanding and performance through daily reviews and quizzes.

English is not just a language, but a bridge that connects people and communities. I want all my students to learn English and feel its benefits in everyday life. Let's build confidence together and make a small change in this world.

Hello. My name is Janelyn Lechido. Call me Jane. I have 4 years of experience teaching in the field of English education.

I teach basic grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading and speaking. Seeing my students progress and enjoy my classes is a great joy and an honor for me.

Learning English is like hiking. At first it seems easy, but as you go along, difficulties appear that must be overcome step by step. In both cases you need patience, practice and the right tools.

Just as the hiker enjoys the path, the English learner should also enjoy the process, not just the goal. If you don't give up, you will eventually reach the summit of “fluency” and “confidence.”

As for my education, I graduated in November 2017 from the University of the Visayas (main campus), where I earned a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education (major in General Education). Since then I have worked as an ESL (English for students learning English as a second language) teacher at language schools such as Cebu Ivy Education Center, C2 Ubec English Academy, Globalization Language Cebu and Cella English Academy.

I am passionate about teaching new things, exploring ideas and supporting people's growth. During my university years I actively did teaching practice and gained real experience teaching English.

My strengths are reading, speaking, pronunciation and vocabulary, because in communication it is essential to express your ideas accurately and listen carefully to the other person.

Learning a new language is not easy, but that is precisely why it gives a great sense of achievement. When you feel that things are not going well, remember why you started this learning. I am sure you can do it. Let's do our best together.

Hello, everyone. I'm Teacher Malin, an English teacher. I have 3 years of experience teaching ESL (English as a second language), plus another year of teaching experience at another school before my current position.

I have had the opportunity to support the English learning of students from very diverse backgrounds. In my classes we mainly work on reading, listening, vocabulary reinforcement and speaking, learning in an enjoyable way through interactive activities, discussions and real-life scenarios.

For me, the most important thing is that my students gain confidence in speaking English. I would like to help them develop the ability to freely express their ideas in English.

I want to tell my students that learning a new language takes time and practice. And it's okay if you make mistakes. My role is to support and guide your English-learning journey. Let's work together to move forward step by step with confidence.

Hello! My name is Joana Rose Cabusog. I am an experienced English teacher, originally from the Philippines.

I have a degree in Education, and I have taught English to both local students and international students. Drawing on my extensive experience teaching ESL (English as a second language), I place importance on acquiring correct grammar while helping my students gain confidence in speaking and writing.

I consider language learning to be “a two-way process, not a one-way street,” and I enjoy not only teaching, but also learning new perspectives from my students and colleagues.

My goal is to create a positive and supportive learning environment in which my students can grow at ease. To those who dare to study abroad: the decision to study abroad takes a lot of courage and determination. But don't forget why you chose that path. I am sure you can do it.

Hello, I'm Sweet Cindy Sicuya. I am so glad to be your ESL (English for people who learn it as a second language) teacher.

I am especially passionate about helping improve vocabulary and speaking skills. I consider vocabulary to be the foundation of confident communication, and nothing makes me happier than seeing my students express themselves fluently and in their own words.

For beginner students, I place importance on creating a safe environment in which they can practice English without fear of making mistakes.

And to all my students: don't fear challenges and wholeheartedly celebrate your successes. Don't hesitate to ask about anything you don't understand. Learning English is like a journey, so keep learning without stopping. Keep practicing and trust yourselves!

“If you keep learning, you get one step closer to your dream.”

Hello! I'm Jesel. I am about to complete one year working at 3D Academy, and during this time I have gained a great deal of valuable learning and experience. I am very glad to be able to apply the improvement in my own English level to help my students.

I have met students of very diverse English levels. In addition to teaching grammar and vocabulary, I have also focused on developing speaking and listening.

Sometimes I ask myself, “How should I approach this student?” but when I find the right way and it works, I feel that “I have truly managed to teach,” and I find that very rewarding.

A teacher needs patience, but the student also needs the same perseverance. Learning English is never easy, but with confidence and an attitude open to receiving feedback, growth is guaranteed. That accumulated effort will show in your skills and will produce results as wonderful as you are.

Message from the teacher

Hello! I'm Lyka Albaño. But call me Klay, as my friends call me, because I want to offer my students that same friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

I work as an ESL (teaching for people who learn English as a second language) teacher, and I am especially good at listening, reading, speaking and teaching pronunciation.

However, I believe teaching should not focus on a single skill only. Every student has different needs, so I observe them closely and adapt each lesson to the person.

Through my experience as an ESL teacher I have learned the importance of patience, flexibility and responsibility. Working with students of diverse nationalities and ages, from beginner to intermediate, I am constantly polishing these qualities.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing my students grow and gain confidence in using English. I firmly believe that English learning should be practical, fun and adapted to each person's needs.
