Maria Santos
English & IELTS · Pacific University BA (Hons), 8 years
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English (Magna Cum Laude) from the Pacific University Manila. I specialise in academic English writing, IELTS preparation, and business communication for professionals.
I've helped students from Australia, Japan, South Korea, and across ASEAN achieve their target IELTS bands for university entry and skilled migration.
Ako ay nagtapos ng BA English (Magna Cum Laude) mula sa Pacific University Manila at nagbibigay ng pribadong tuturyal sa English at IELTS preparation sa loob ng 8 taon.
Tinutulungan ko ang mga estudyante na mapabuti ang kanilang kasanayan sa pakikinig, pagsasalita, pagbabasa at pagsulat sa Ingles. Marami sa aking mga estudyante ang nakamit ang IELTS band 7 o mas mataas.
IELTS preparation
Before each session I ask students to complete a timed practice task and email it to me. I mark it using the official IELTS band descriptors and prepare targeted feedback. Sessions focus on specific weaknesses — not generic advice.
Ang Aking Paraan ng Pagtuturo
Bago ang bawat sesyon, hinihiling ko sa mga estudyante na kumpletuhin ang isang practice task at ipadala ito sa akin. Binibigyan ko ng marka ang kanilang gawa gamit ang opisyal na IELTS band descriptors at inihahanda ang naka-target na feedback. Ang mga sesyon ay nakatuon sa mga tiyak na kahinaan — hindi generic na payo.

Maria helped me go from 6.0 to 7.5 in 6 weeks. Her preparation is exceptional — she marks my writing like an IELTS examiner.
Perfect for Korean students. She understands exactly what non-native speakers struggle with.
Got the 7.0 I needed for my Australian skilled visa. Could not have done it without Maria.
Transformed my professional writing. My manager noticed the improvement immediately.
Very thorough and professional. Highly recommend for anyone aiming for 7+.
