About Me

Ailysh Velarde is an aspiring educator and former SEO Specialist currently navigating a mindful pivot from the corporate hustle to the world of education. A member of the Class of 2023, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Marketing Management—a foundation that taught her the intricacies of strategy and human behavior.

Today, Ailysh is unlearning the pressure of high-salary corporate metrics to focus on a mission of genuine fulfillment: helping others find their voice. Currently pursuing her TOEFL certification while self-studying Japanese, she is targeting a career in teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). She carries a unique “SEO Legacy” into the classroom—the ability to map out complex courses of action and anticipate the nuances of a student’s thought process with the same foresight she once used for search strategies.

In her teaching, Ailysh champions creative, student-led discovery. She believes that the best teacher is experience, often using a blend of storytelling and hands-on practice to provoke thought, allowing students to “discover” answers for themselves. A self-described “chameleon,” she thrives in mixed classroom vibes, mirroring the energy of her students while remaining a grounded listener dedicated to helping them express their true potential. Whether discussing her fascination with the duality of man or helping a student master a new language, Ailysh remains constant in her pursuit of shared happiness and human connection.
