Lester Ellorin

English Language Teacher/ Academic Coordinator

Hello, I’m Lester Ellorin from Davao City in the Philippines, proudly known as the Land of the Durian. Through my journey as an educator, I’ve come to understand that language learning is a deeply personal experience, with each student bringing their own dreams, ambitions, and sometimes fears about speaking a new language.

Seeing students gradually gain confidence and express their thoughts clearly is what reminds me that teaching is truly a labor of love. My experience includes teaching Conversational English, General English, Business English, and preparing students for international exams such as IELTS, PET, Movers, and Flyers, working with learners of different ages and backgrounds to help them strengthen their communication skills and succeed in a connected world. 

Beyond teaching, I also serve as an Academic Coordinator and Learning Supervisor, supporting fellow educators and ensuring that classes run smoothly behind the scenes. After all, when teachers work together and support one another, the entire learning environment becomes stronger. As the saying goes, many hands make light work.

Outside the classroom, I find inspiration in acting, films, meaningful books, travel, and exploring new places. I also enjoy quiet walks with my dogs and sharing reflections about life, growth, and perseverance on social media. For me, teaching English has never been just a job but a meaningful journey built on connection, curiosity, and shared progress. Each student brings a unique story to the classroom, and helping them speak more confidently, think more clearly, and open doors to new opportunities reminds me that I am exactly where I am meant to be.
