I'm Trina, and I'm from the Philippines!
I love chatting with people around the world and learning about people's culture, experience, and languages.
I dedicate 1-2 hours of time surfing the net, not mindlessly, but actively finding interesting reads, videos and pictures. The Internet, I believe, has made learning almost anything for free, so I want to make the most of it. In my free time, I read books, take a walk or play with my cats and my dog. Trying out restaurants is part of my weekend normally with friends or family.
Me as a Teacher
Many of my former students say that I'm patient, dedicated and that I maximize class hours to learning and acquiring English.
These traits, I believe, are results of trying to understand my students better. In and out of class hours, I do my best to assess students' needs as learners, and as people who wish to be able to communicate. During class hours I make sure that learning objectives are met and students USE THE LANGUAGE A LOT. To communicate is the goal of learning a language after all and USING IT is the best way to learn it!

My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are mainly conversational (in the context of general conversation, business, academics, and IELTS). In addition, I do give classes on report and essay writing.
A warm-up activity is a must in my class. I start with a very engaging warm-up activity before proceeding to the lesson for the day (formal) or discussing a relevant topic (informal). Throughout the lesson, the students build not only vocabulary resource, grammar, and pronunciation but also their 'reflex' in using the language spontaneously.
After class, I provide a summary of the class and ENGLISH TASKS.
ENGLISH TASKS -- These are tasks geared to help students develop their English skills after class hours.
