About me
I am Sandice Laus, and I live in the Philippines. I teach English and offer lessons in the English–Filipino language pair. I have intermediate English and advanced Filipino, so I can support learners who benefit from bilingual instruction while they develop their English communication skills.
Experience & qualifications
- Bachelor of Science in Development Communication
- Over two years in project management and e-governance systems, where I ran training sessions for Filipinos on AI, data analytics, digital marketing and cybersecurity
- Founded my own tutorial centre during the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching English and Filipino reading literacy and mathematics to children, including learners with special educational needs
- Volunteered in reading programmes for children in rural communities across the Philippines (2013–2022)
My lessons
My teaching philosophy centres on understanding each learner’s goals before designing lessons that fit their needs. I believe effective learning happens in a supportive, interactive and enjoyable environment, where students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. I listen actively, give constructive feedback and tailor lessons to your interests and pace. I also use digital tools such as Canva, TikTok and CapCut to create interactive, visual learning materials.
