Hello! I’m Ethel Grace Malilay, a dedicated Construction Administration Specialist by day in a Japanese firm in the Philippines and an enthusiastic Online ESL Teacher by night. In my morning role, I handle the administrative and coordination aspects of construction projects—ensuring efficiency, organization, and clear communication between teams. My work has strengthened my attention to detail, problem-solving, and time management skills. In the evening, I shift into my second passion—teaching English online with 51Talk. I specialize in working with young Chinese learners aged 2 to 14, and occasionally adults, in a one-on-one virtual classroom setting. My lessons focus on building essential English skills—listening, speaking, pronunciation, and vocabulary—through interactive and age-appropriate activities. I love creating a fun, supportive, and engaging learning environment, using TPR (Total Physical Response), props, songs, and expressive teaching techniques to make English learning enjoyable and effective. I also adapt my pace and teaching style to match each student’s level and personality, helping them build confidence and develop a genuine interest in learning English. Through these dual roles, I’ve developed a unique combination of organization, communication, and people skills—balancing the precision required in construction administration with the creativity and empathy essential in teaching. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and connect with opportunities where I can apply my skills and passion for both structure and learning.
