Katrina Joyce Uy

I bring a wealth of experience to my classes. I have spent over seven wonderful years teaching preschool children in a traditional school setting, which has taught me how to be highly creative, patient, and engaging.

Beyond the traditional classroom, I have almost a decade—nearly 10 years!—of experience as an online ESL teacher. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of teaching Chinese, Korean, and European students. My learners have ranged from bright five-year-olds just starting their English journey, all the way to adults looking to polish their conversational skills.

When it comes to my teaching style, I am highly student-centered. I strictly follow the 30/70 rule: that means 30% talking time for the teacher, and 70% talking time for you, the student! I believe you learn best when you are given the floor to speak and practice.

I always cater to my student's specific needs. Whether we are focusing on mastering phonics and reading for beginners, or polishing grammar for advanced learners, my classes are guaranteed to be fun and educational at the same time. If you prefer free talk, we can have a great conversation about absolutely anything under the sun!
