Victoria

I have had the pleasure of working with Teacher Victoria for over 9 months. Around the start of my Tagalog journey, I happened to stumble upon her amazing intro video. Right away I knew from the way she expressed herself through her energy, creativity, and passion for teaching Tagalog that it was an absolute must for me to see if she was a fit. After completing our first lesson, there was no question at all on who I wanted to invest my time and energy with. Over the course of my time with Victoria, she has taught me so much about Tagalog and Filipino culture. Whether it be analyzing trendy songs, watching YT videos, listening to her podcasts, or just having fun light-hearted chats I have gained so much knowledge and insight that I cannot thank her enough for all she has given me. Teacher Victoria I believe is one of the best teachers on italki and I highly recommend her if you would like to learn from someone who is so kind, supportive, dedicated, and an absolute joy to work with.

Vicky is honestly my favorite language teacher I’ve ever had 🧡 I can definitely feel how much effort she puts into our classes and she is very present while I share stories. I also appreciate how many examples she gives me for new grammar/vocab so that I fully understand. In the short amount of time I’ve been taking classes with Vicky, I’ve already noticed so much progress in my Tagalog! ✨

An excellent lesson with Victoria as we were able to talk about my recent birthday adventures and had a very challenging exercise with speaking about a lot of technical things that I'm very familiar with but in Tagalog. As always, Victoria understands the gist of what I trying to communicate and suggests the recommended vocabulary/phrases that I should use instead.

Vicky is the #1 Tagalog teacher on Italki!

Another great lesson with Vicky! We had some great casual conversation and then discussed a short Tagalog documentary I watched for homework and had some fun structured conversation centered around questions inspired by the documentary. We also talked a little about Filipino folklore/beliefs related to engkanto -- I didn't get a chance to say it in the lesson, but Filipino folklore is one of my favorite subjects ever, so I really enjoyed learning more about this (on top of the usual Tagalog stuff! :) ). Maraming salamat!

A very joyful lesson with Victoria as we talked about my upcoming celebration plans and did some fun and very practical conversations that require you to put yourself in tricky situations. Every lesson I have I always feel like I'm making great progress and always look forward to our next one.
