President and Founder of Paradise English
I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to Paradise English and our Paradise English family! I have experienced teaching in many countries and feel spending time with students is a great privilege and honor. Many students have given me an in-depth insight and understanding not only of themselves but also their culture. It is with great pride to say we have had students from over 70 countries attend our Programs!
Regardless of your ability we will always encourage everyone to learn and try to help you make the most of your learning experience in paradise. Every teacher at Paradise English is dedicated to helping students succeed and truly believe they can help everyone learn English.
I believe there is a place for everyone at Paradise English – with the goal “to learn English and learn about yourself”.
I look forward to having you study with us and spending time with you. I also count on your help and feedback.
Sincerely,
Claus G. Bauer

Managing Director & Co-Founder of Paradise English
Since starting Paradise English in 2005 I have seen it grow from an idea to what it is today, a place for people from all parts of the world to come together to learn English and share their cultures.
Our vision for PE has been realized and as we continue to grow so does our family.
Studying English is no longer a hobby but a necessity for many reasons. Work, Further education and travel being some of the reasons.
On a personal level, my goal has always been to make our school a learning haven for our students.
I speak not only for myself but for all the staff at PE, we are here to help you learn and improve your English and we will walk with you until you reach your goal.
We only ask that you come with an open mind and spirit and we guarantee that a wonderful experience will follow.
Welcome to Paradise English. Mabuhay!

My teaching journey over the last 10 years finally brought me to this Wonderful school ‘ Paradise English’. My natural philosophy is to have students enjoy their English learning experience whilst in a relaxed and friendly environment. The challenge is to take the stress out of learning. As head teacher here at Paradise English my aim is to continue and build on what has already been achieved over the last 10 years — quality teaching with enthusiasm, encouraging confidence in the students’ ability to communicate using the English language.
Teaching is a great learning experience. In teaching, we learn differences amongst students. It gives us the opportunity to reflect back on our styles and methods of teaching. Thus, allowing us to improve ourselves and create an effective and efficient way to assisting students in honing their English language abilities. Teaching is a great learning experience.

I lived in the US for over 15 years and worked in the Fashion Industry in NYC. Living on Boracay Island is an everyday adventure; moreover, teaching English is my added retreat to living in this postcard place.
I believe that we should never stop learning, and we should never cease to seek the adventure in front of us. Here in Paradise English School, we instill the proper tools to the students for real-world scenarios. On top of that, we also encourage them to have balance between studying and having fun.

There’s nowhere else quite like Paradise English. I’ve been coming back as a teacher since 2007 when I taught my first summer camp. Seeing the school grow and evolve as it has over the years is a testament to the passion we share for teaching and the successes we’ve had with our
students.
As a teacher it makes my job that much more rewarding when I get to see my students truly enjoy their learning experience. For our students it’s a wonderful place to come learn the language and to be with others from around the world. My goal is to help you learn the language and to have fun at the same time!

Hello! I’ve been teaching English since 2002, with most of my experience coming from South Korea. I strongly believe that learning is something that should be enjoyable for everyone involved to be most effective.
Paradise English is the perfect environment for English immersion, as it has fantastic open areas and comfortable classrooms. I look forward to seeing you here!

Teachers are more than what dictionaries define us. We don’t only teach what’s between the covers of the book, but we also touch the core of a person to be a useful individual in the society.
It is more a calling than just a mere job; more a passion than a sole interest.

Teaching is a profoundly noble profession that provides immense satisfaction as we impart knowledge and inspire our students to learn. We must nourish them with knowledge, much like tending to delicate flowers, to enable their growth. However, teaching goes beyond merely imparting knowledge; it involves transforming their lives in a meaningful and impactful way.

I have been teaching for more than two years now and I’m still enjoying it. I have that same enthusiasm and each class still feels like the first time. It’s fascinating to meet people from different countries. I am passionate about teaching. I always encourage students to think beyond their normal boundaries and paradigms to broaden their horizons.
