Clarissa Sagisi - English tutors in Edmonton
I'm a proud Filipino educator with 5+ years ESL teaching experience, including extensive online instruction. I am a licensed teacher, case manager, and curriculum consultant with two undergraduate degrees plus a Master's in Early Childhood Education with Special Education major. I specialize in individualized English tutoring—vocabulary, test prep, pronunciation, accent coaching, career guidance—using task analysis and techniques.
My methodology is rooted in three core principles. Individualization forms my teaching foundation—I recognize each learner is unique, with distinct learning styles, paces, and needs. I meet students at their current level by identifying baseline abilities and designing customized curricula tailored to specific strengths and development areas.
Through Task Analysis, I systematically break down complex language concepts into manageable components. This enables learners to achieve mastery through structured, step-by-step progression, ensuring solid foundations. Whether working on grammar, reading comprehension, writing, or conversation, every lesson builds methodically toward fluency.
My "From Self to Community" relational approach translates theory into practice, ensuring acquired English skills are meaningfully applied in real-world contexts. This fosters connections between individuals and the broader community, promoting meaningful relationships and social integration.
With my ABA therapy background, I use proven techniques that help students learn faster while feeling truly heard and supported. Each session matches your goals and mindset, creating a space where you can speak with clarity, calm, and confidence while excelling in supporting learners with special needs.
