Ma. Isabel Mendoza
About
I am Teacher Ysa, a Licensed Professional Teacher (LPT) and TEFL-certified educator with over seven years of experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education (Major in English, Minor in Mandarin). My mission is to help you "Build your future" by providing engaging, high-quality English lessons tailored to your specific goals, whether you are an early learner or a professional.
Teaching Style
My style is energetic, highly adaptive, and student-centered. I believe that learning is most effective when it is enjoyable, so I transform lessons into interactive experiences. I am patient and supportive, with a specialized focus on creating a comfortable environment for learners of all ages and abilities.
Curriculum
I utilize a gamified, technology-driven approach. My lessons integrate:
-
Interactive Digital Tools: Custom-built web-based activities and games.
-
Visual Scaffolding: Props, thematic visuals, and multimedia to boost comprehension.
-
Differentiated Instruction: I adjust pacing, content, and strategy based on your unique learning style and needs, including expertise in supporting neurodivergent learners.
I create customized learning materials for each student. Note: I can also supplement any school-provided textbooks or specific business English materials you wish to focus on.
