Originally from the Philippines, Melchor Bernardo is currently based in Hochiminh City, Vietnam as a middle school teacher specialized in teaching English as a second language. He loves teaching and so he made a teaching website called English Teaching 101 which is a bit of copy of his teaching styles and philosophy.

His passion for teaching flows through the lessons and activities he provides his students everyday. He thought about becoming a lawyer once, but his heart chose teaching

He created his blog as a journal – to keep track of the activities he does in his class! He always challenges himself to be innovative and inventive in his English classroom so I tries his best to create lessons that are tailored to the needs and abilities of his students. The use of fun language games, engaging activities and projects, and technology is indispensable in his classroom. He also connect his classroom to the world by participating in meaningful exchanges and projects with schools from other countries.

He believes that language teachers are not entertainers! Rather, he believes that a happy classroom creates a positive predisposition, but it must go beyond that. Teachers should not try hard for entertainment. Eventually, students will find fun in learning because teachers try to make learning meaningful to them.
