The 20 reviews on Delia
Perfect! My tutorial lesson with Ms. Del is really a blessing from up above. What I admire most about her is her PATIENCE and her excellent communication skills. Her passion for teaching is one of the BESTS!
During our lesson I learn so much, especially proper pronunciation which contributes to developing poise and confidence. I learned to effectively deliver my speech and express my ideas with proficiency. I also appreciate the constructive corrections she gives when I make mistakes.
Her appreciation for my little achievements and her positive motivation techiniques remain unmatched by any other English instructor I have come accross with. Thank you, Ms. Del. You’ve helped me a lot.
Grace lives up to her name because she is a blessing in my teaching career that spans thirty years. She is every student put together: she possesses that childlike characteristic of always taking delight in learning new lessons. She has the passion and desire to understand and master every concept taught to her. It is quite a rewarding experience to see the joy in her eyes as she spoke to me about exceeding expectations. She achieved a much higher score than what was required when she took the duolingo test online.
Grace gives that sense of accomplishment to me as a teacher who simply wants to make a positive difference in her learning experience. Truly, she is the achiever, and the epitome of learning with enthusiasm. Thank you, Grace!
Perfect! I was so glad that Ms. Del accepted my request for English lessons. She organized a trial lesson for me in an efficient way. Ms. Del is a friendly, well-prepared and professional teacher who is able to point out my mistakes accurately and clearly during our first tutorial session. She gave me good guidance to pronounce English words as well as high patience to improve my grammatical mistakes. I really appreciate that she is very good at singing. I felt very relaxed during the whole learning process.
V or Vicky is a young professional who has passion for advance learning. She possesses the fundamental skills to be successful in enhancing her English communication skills. I am positive that she will achieve her goal in due time and gain confidence in her abilities. I am here to help. Good luck, Vicky!

Miss Del is one my son's teacher when he was in grade school. She is very friendly , smart , accommodating, and she uses different techniques in teaching the kids..She has group of students that she handles well during those times ....I recommend her to Superprof members because she does her work professionally and she's really good in teaching English Grammar and personality development....She'll be an asset to your group.
I have known Teacher Del for more than 20 years. She was my English and Math tutor during my elementary days. She taught me easy to understand methods in Math to help me cope up with my assignments.
She also taught me English (which is not my first language) and it helped me a lot to be confident in day-to-day conversations. I never told her this, but in college, I actually got a perfect grade in Speech 101 and this is all thanks to her.
Teacher Del is not only a great teacher, but she also builds lasting relationships with her students and helps them be the best version of themselves.
I am absolutely recommending her!
It's good to know that Ms. Del started again with what she loves the most-- teaching.
She was my tutor when I was a kid, and I can say that I've excelled in my English and Speech Classes-- all because of her.
She provides a tailored-fit type of teaching, because it is definitely not a "one size fits all" kind of thing. She familiarize herself with the student first (know her learning style, hobbies, etc.) to be able to know what would possibly work for her.
She's an excellent teacher. She's passionate towards work, and she's friendly to her students. My family adores her ️
Ma'am Dels was my private tutor English language for almost 5 months,
I needed to improve my English skills
since my first languag is Arabic my English was not that strong so I needed to improve it to be qualified for the entrance exams of the college.
I highly recommend Teacher Delia, she have a plenty of teaching skills, she creates ways to make things easier for the students to understand.
for me after all the English lessons I took with maam Delia i felt that very big difference in my English skills It helped me to pass the entrance exams and in my daily life here in the philippines since English is the seconed language here
finally i want to say
maam Delia was not only a teacher for me but also a mather
Thank you so much Maam Dels
much Love po
Ms Del is one of the best teachers that I ever had. Aside from the english classes that I attended ever since I was a kid (probably I started when I was 10 years old) she had taught me so many great things.
Her teaching style can help to develop someone's confidence, not only in speaking and writing in English spontaneously, but someone's personality as a whole. Also, I learned to interact with people, be friends with people in my nicest way. Lastly, I learned to be humble. For example, if I see or hear people speaks hardly in English, I do not judge them yet I help them to build their thoughts.
With that, I truly say that having Ms Del as my "teacher and my aunt in one" is such a great honor. I really feel blessed that she had the time to teach me.
Hello everyone, if you are looking for a teacher who teaches Tagalog or even the English language, I have a friend of mine who is willing to help you to learn, I would definitely recommend you to her, she is very good at teaching, I actually one of her learner and also, my son before I go to the states and I learned a lot from her, I really admired her a bunch too.
Ms. Del would make a great teacher because she has this one-of-a-kind teaching style that everybody loves. She makes all lessons, no matter how difficult it is, easy to understand. She is also very patient to her students. I've been her students since I was in 3rd grade (I am now in 2nd year college) and for the past years, and with all the teachers I have met in my formal education, Ms. Del's teaching style is still the best for me. When Ms. Del is your teacher, rest assured that you will learn in no time.
Thank you for being inspiring teacher, tutor for me and to my friends,
I Ms. Del Mandap because of....
Love for kids, love for subject willing to help, enthusiasm, work ethic, humility thats it
Teacher Del is my mother. Growing up, i've seen her excellence in teaching students in different levels, professions and nationalities. Her decades of experience made positive impact on her students' lives.
