About Me
italki teacher since Apr 12, 2022
My name is Wesley but you can call me Wes for short. I am a 35 year old American male and have lived in five different states. I recently moved to the Philippines and I am learning Cebuano and Tagalog, which the locals speak both fluently here. I enjoy learning new cultures because I love meeting and learning about new people.
Me as a Teacher
There's hardly a reward greater than seeing a person grow in confidence and character. Language empowers change in individuals, which can change the world one soul at a time. I aspire to pour into others; building trusting relationships in which students are not only inspired but empowered toward unity and change.
My lessons & teaching style
I prefer a conversational teaching style but also use a variety of visual and audio techniques. Of course, every learner is different and we must access what methods are best for you. Once we are comfortable together, I give gentle correction and lots of positive affirmation. I think the key to learning is repetition but let's not forget relationship. Few learn well without being properly empowered and encouraged. I look forward to working with you soon.

Wes is super patient and helpful in explaining new words. My 12 years old daughter absolutely enjoyed his teaching approaches and has learned many new words with ease and fun. Thank you for your great work Wes! 👍
