About Donna Mae
Hello! My name is Donna Mae Sendico, also known as Teacher Dona Aiko.
I am a Nursing Graduate, experienced ESL Tutor, Virtual Assistant, and a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with nearly 10 years of professional experience. I am passionate about teaching and helping students develop their English and Tagalog communication skills with confidence.
I have experience teaching young learners, teenagers, adults, and professionals from different countries and backgrounds. My teaching style is patient, friendly, interactive, and tailored to each student's individual needs and learning goals. I strive to create a positive and comfortable learning environment where students feel encouraged to speak, ask questions, and improve at their own pace.
Whether you want to improve your conversational English, business communication, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, or Tagalog speaking skills, I am here to guide and support you. I can also share practical knowledge about business, customer service, professional communication, and real estate based on my years of industry experience.
As a teacher, I believe that learning should be enjoyable, meaningful, and relevant to everyday life. My goal is not only to help students learn a language but also to build their confidence so they can communicate effectively in school, at work, in business, or during daily conversations.
I am dedicated, hardworking, caring, and committed to helping every student reach their full potential. No matter your age or skill level, I will do my best to help you achieve your learning goals in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Book a lesson with me today, and let's make learning English and Tagalog enjoyable, effective, and rewarding!
I look forward to meeting you and being part of your learning journey.
See you in class!
