Carmela None Destajo

With four years of dedicated experience as an ESL tutor, I specialize in helping students express themselves with clarity and confidence. My expertise lies in pronunciation training, grammar refinement, and making complex language concepts accessible—especially for young learners. I incorporate IPA transcriptions and phonetics into my lessons to enhance comprehension, and I take pride in delivering feedback that’s polished, supportive, and tailored to each learner’s unique needs. My approach is grounded in clear communication and patience, ensuring that both kids and adults feel motivated and empowered as they learn.

Before entering the education space, I worked as a medical sales representative and secretary, where I developed strong interpersonal skills, professional communication, and attention to detail. These roles taught me how to manage high-stakes interactions, handle sensitive information responsibly, and adapt quickly to diverse workflows and clients. I draw from that experience when supporting remote teams, ensuring that I communicate clearly and maintain a high level of organization.

Beyond ESL instruction, I am actively expanding my skill set in virtual assistance and outbound sales. I’ve been exploring tools and workflows commonly used in remote roles, including platforms like Calendly, Notion, ClickUp, Dropbox, and Slack. I’m currently learning how to navigate CRM systems such as Zoho, Mojo Dialer, and Batch Leads to build confidence in lead tracking, cold-calling, and client communication. My growing familiarity with real estate wholesaling—especially key terms like ARV, MAO, and distressed properties—enables me to understand the context and language used in sales interactions. I’m committed to continuous learning and ready to apply these skills in dynamic virtual environments.

What sets me apart is my ability to simplify information without sacrificing accuracy. Whether I’m breaking down vocabulary for a young ESL student or customizing a cold-calling script for outbound sales, I tailor my language to suit the audience and goal. I thrive in roles where clear communication, empathy, and a sharp eye for structure matter. My unique blend of education, sales, and administrative experience allows me to transition smoothly between student-focused and business-oriented tasks—making me a versatile asset to any remote team.
