About Della
Hello! My name is Della, and I am a passionate and highly experienced ESL teacher with over 8 years of international teaching experience, helping children, teenagers, and adults develop their English communication skills with confidence.
I am a certified TESOL, TEFL, IELTS, and TOEIC coach, as well as a certified Phonics instructor for young learners. Throughout my teaching journey, I have had the opportunity to teach students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds across Asia, including Japan; Europe, including France, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey; the United States; South America; and the Middle East, including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. This global teaching experience has given me a deeper understanding of different cultures, learning styles, and individual language goals.
My areas of expertise include Conversational English, Business English, pronunciation improvement, grammar, speaking fluency, interview preparation, exam preparation, and phonics-based English learning for children.
For young learners, I create fun, engaging, and interactive lessons using phonics activities, games, storytelling, visual aids, Total Physical Response (TPR), and guided speaking exercises. I focus on building a strong foundation in reading, pronunciation, vocabulary, and communication skills while creating a positive and encouraging environment where children enjoy learning.
For adult learners and professionals, I focus on practical English communication, confidence-building, pronunciation improvement, Business English, workplace communication, interview preparation, and natural conversation practice. My lessons are designed to help students use English effectively in real-life situations, professional settings, travel, and everyday interactions.
Beyond my ESL teaching career, I also bring valuable experience as a Training and Development Manager and currently work in Talent Acquisition. These professional experiences have strengthened my expertise in coaching, communication, leadership, and career development. This allows me to create structured, goal-oriented, and personalized lessons that meet the needs of both students and working professionals.
My teaching approach is patient, adaptable, supportive, and student-centered. I believe that every learner has unique strengths, challenges, and goals, so I tailor each lesson according to the student’s needs, pace, interests, and learning objectives.
Whether you are a parent looking for a caring English teacher for your child, a student preparing for an important exam, or a professional aiming to improve your English for career growth and daily communication, I am here to support and guide you every step of the way.
I look forward to meeting you in class and helping you become a confident, fluent, and effective English speaker. See you soon!

I am an experienced ESL teacher with more than 8 years of international teaching experience, working with both children and adults from different cultural backgrounds. My teaching approach is student-centered, engaging, and personalized based on each learner’s goals, level, and learning style.
My teaching methodology is student-centered, interactive, and goal-oriented. I customize every lesson based on the student’s age, English level, learning style, and objectives. For young learners, I use phonics-based instruction, games, storytelling, visual aids, Total Physical Response (TPR), and guided speaking activities to make lessons fun and engaging while building strong reading and pronunciation foundations.
For teens and adults, I focus on practical communication, fluency development, pronunciation improvement, grammar accuracy, and confidence-building through conversational practice, role-play, discussion exercises, article-based learning, and real-life scenarios. I believe students learn best in a supportive and encouraging environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves and making mistakes while learning naturally.
A typical lesson usually includes:
• Warm-up conversation or review
• Vocabulary and pronunciation practice
• Guided speaking or reading activities
• Grammar correction and sentence building
• Interactive discussion and feedback
• Personalized homework or speaking practice suggestions
What sets me apart is my ability to adapt lessons to different personalities, ages, and goals while creating a relaxed and encouraging learning atmosphere. I also have a background in Psychology, which helps me better understand student behavior, motivation, and learning needs.
My lessons are suitable for:
• Children and young learners
• Beginner to advanced English learners
• Adults improving conversational English
• Professionals studying Business English
• Students preparing for interviews, travel, or daily communication
• Learners who want to improve speaking confidence and pronunciation
Recommendations

I highly recommend Della as a teacher. She was my online English teacher, and I truly appreciated how she customized her teaching approach to suit each student's needs and learning style. Her patience, enthusiasm, and friendly personality made every lesson enjoyable and engaging. She has a wonderful ability to make learning feel easy and comfortable, which greatly helped me improve my confidence and communication skills in English. It was a pleasure learning from her, and I am grateful for her dedication and support.
Coach Della is a very supportive, and dedicated English teacher. She’s very knowledgeable, patient, and always encourages me to do my best so I can further improve my language and communication skills.
She’s a highly effective Coach. Makes learning more fun, enjoyable and so easy to understand.
Proud to be her studentAs a parent, I’m really happy and impressed with Teacher Della. My child has become more confident in speaking English and actually looks forward to class, which wasn’t always the case before. She is very patient, kind, and knows how to make lessons fun and engaging for kids.
What I appreciate most is how encouraging she is. She makes students feel comfortable and motivated to try, even when they make mistakes. I’ve also noticed a big improvement in my child’s pronunciation, vocabulary, and confidence in communicating.
Teacher Della clearly cares about her students and puts effort into every lesson. I truly recommend her to other parents who want a teacher their children can enjoy learning from while still making real progress.This is my ateee, not literally but she's been so helpful with everything, she's a great teacher talaga and I can only recommend her! Super friendly teacher, treated me like a little brother the whole time I was her student, and I got to know more about the Philippines as well as Tagalog! Very professional but in my case it helped that she could also be a friend, her way of teaching made it very easy to pick up the language faster, and she's the reason why I was confident in travelling to the Philippines and speaking to locals so much easier, so I really appreciate her. I'm very happy that I got to know ate Della and that I was her student, because I didn't just have a teacher, I also made a friend.
