Maria Diaz

Good day,

I’m Maria, a graduate of Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English, with TESOL and TEFL certifications. I have been teaching English online since 2020, working with children, teenagers, and adults from Japan and China. My experience also includes preparing learners for TOEIC and IELTS exams, teaching Business English, and adapting lessons using methods such as Callan.

My classes are interactive, supportive, and tailored to each student’s level. Beginners receive structured lessons that focus on building confidence in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Intermediate students practice conversation, expand vocabulary, and strengthen grammar through engaging activities. Advanced learners work on fluency, academic writing, and professional communication, with lessons designed to meet their specific goals.

I believe that every student learns differently, so I adapt my methodology to suit individual needs. I use visual aids, digital tools, and real-life scenarios to make lessons dynamic and enjoyable. My neutral to native English accent helps students improve listening comprehension and pronunciation more effectively.

Patience, encouragement, and clear communication are at the heart of my teaching. My goal is not only to help you improve your English but also to make learning enjoyable and meaningful. Together, we will build your confidence and skills so you can achieve success in English.

Looking forward to learning with you!

Sincerely,
Ma. Gretchen Diaz Tamondong (Maria)
