Who is Teacher Elizabeth?

A teacher-traveler at heart

I am a passionate teacher-traveler who finds joy in both the classroom and the world beyond it. I specialize in teaching young learners—both regular and children with special needs—by creating effective, supportive, engaging, and inclusive learning environments. My greatest focus is on developing strong foundational reading skills, as I believe literacy opens the door to lifelong learning and confidence.

8+ years in the classroom

I’m a Certified Jolly Phonics Teacher with over 8 years of experience in Special Education and early childhood. I’ve taught reading, phonics, ESL, and other core subjects across public and private schools, tutoring centers, and online platforms. My teaching experience spans the Philippines, California (USA), and virtual classes in Asia and the Middle East. I was also trained in the U.S. for 3 years, which strengthened my inclusive and student-centered approach.
