She started recording her lessons on her phone, uploading them to YouTube, and sharing the links with her students.Expecting only her class to watch the videos, Carvajal was surprised when they reached a much wider audience online.&quot;I absolutely fell in love with the fact that people from all walks of life were learning from me,&quot; she told ABS-CBN News.&quot;It made me realize I could make English learning accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or social status.&quot;She later expanded to TikTok and Facebook to make English lessons accessible to more people at no cost. Today, she has amassed more than 373,600 followers on TikTok, 1.4 million followers on Facebook, and 23,700 subscribers on YouTube.Carvajal said she understands what it feels like to struggle as a student, allowing her to relate to those who find learning English challenging.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2026/6/2/deped-admits-literacy-crisis-is-severe-as-87-of-grade-11-students-struggle-to-read-independently-0227">DepEd admits literacy crisis is severe as 87% of Grade 11 students struggle to read independently </a></div>She graduated as valedictorian in both elementary and high school, earned her bachelor&#x27;s degree in English Education magna cum laude from the Philippine Normal University, and later completed a master&#x27;s degree at De La Salle University.Her impressive academic background, however, has helped her break down complex concepts into simpler, more accessible lessons for her viewers.&quot;This academic foundation didn&#x27;t just teach me the rules of the language, it gave me the pedagogical tools to break down complex concepts into digestible, easy-to-understand lessons for my students and viewers alike,&quot; she said.Carvajal does not have a production team behind her videos, choosing instead to handle everything herself. She draws content ideas directly from her viewers, taking note of the questions they leave in the comments and the common grammar mistakes she hears in everyday conversations.As she writes each script, she asks herself, &quot;Kung ako ang makakarinig ng paliwanag, madali ko ba maiintindihan?&quot;.For those aspiring to become teachers, Carvajal&#x27;s advice is &quot;to never lose sight of your &#x27;why.&#x27;&quot;<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/nation/2026/1/26/malnutrition-mass-promotion-lack-of-books-all-linked-to-learning-crisis-prof-1528">Malnutrition, &#x27;mass promotion&#x27;, lack of books all linked to learning crisis - prof </a></div>&quot;Teaching is a profound responsibility that goes beyond textbooks. It is about shaping minds and hearts,&quot; she said.&quot;Remember that your students will rarely remember every single lesson you teach, but they will always remember how you made them feel and how you supported their growth.&quot;For those eyeing to teach through social media platforms, she said: &quot;Focus on how you can deliver value. Put yourself in the shoes of a struggling learner, strip away the pretense, and speak to them with empathy.&quot;&quot;When your genuine goal is to make education accessible and easy to understand, people will naturally gravitate toward your voice,” Carvajal said.
