🤗 Hi! I’m Elsie, your fun & patient Tagalog/Cebuano tutor for 3 years!
👋 Architecture grad 🏗️ | Movie buff 🎬 | Animal lover 🐶
As a native Bisaya & Tagalog speaker (fluent in English too!), I specialize in easy, stress-free conversations for all ages. Whether you’re mastering basics or chatting like a local, I’ll help you speak confidently—no pressure, just laughs and progress!
Let’s turn language barriers into bridges, one chill chat at a time. 😊
Me as a Teacher
As an educator, I prioritize being understanding, patient, and approachable while fostering meaningful learning experiences for my students. I create a supportive and welcoming environment where learners feel comfortable and engaged. I believe that education should be both effective and enjoyable, as this encourages greater confidence and retention. Acknowledging that acquiring a new language can be challenging, I view mistakes as essential to growth and tailor my approach to each student’s pace and needs. By providing personalized guidance and encouragement, I aim to make the learning process both productive and rewarding.
My lessons & teaching style
I design my lessons based on your specific needs and current language level. I specialize in grammar, reading comprehension, and conversation practice. My lessons are often built around simple, relaxed conversations about topics you enjoy, so you can learn naturally and confidently. I’ll guide you in using the right words and phrases while creating a supportive, pressure-free environment.
My goal is to help you speak with confidence, build your skills step by step, and enjoy the process of learning a new language. I love motivating and inspiring students, and I’ll be here to encourage you every step of the way!

Elsie is always so patient and eager for teach proper pronunciation. She takes the time to explain the meaning of words and conjugation. I have learned so much with Elsie. Thank you for always being so devoted to my Tagalog learning journey!
