About Me
italki teacher since Aug 6, 2022
Hello everyone, my name is Jonathon. I'm here to guide you all in the basics of the Filipino language or as they pronounce it "Tagalog". I am looking forward in getting along with each other and get know more of each other. I am also looking forward in improving your skills and knowledge for this type of the topic.
Me as a Teacher
Learning different languages and playing piano are both my favorite hobbies. Throughout my experiences, I have always enjoyed teaching other people how to play piano and speak German, Russian and Tagalog. I then decided to enter Italki with a hope of teaching Tagalog (and other languages soon) successfully. See you all real soon!
My lessons & teaching style
Our lessons will focus depending on what your goals are. Let me know what are your goals in speaking Tagalog and I'll help you get there.

Wonderful teacher! Jonathon is always willing to stay over the time limit and practice with you past your lesson time, which I really enjoy. He customized the lessons to fit my needs and conversation goals. I highly recommend him for anyone wanting to have an enjoyable and cost-effective learning experience. Salamat!!!

It was great talking with Jonathon, my speaking still needs a lot of practice but i appreciate his patience and help/corrections as i try to form my thoughts into sentences.

Jonathon is extremely patient, attentive and supportive. He give the student the space to speak full sentences without interruption, which is very encouraging, and then helps make any corrections with a light touch and at exactly the right time. His knowledge of both his native Filipino and English are vast, His overall passion for foreign languages is contagious, which makes his lessons fun and exciting.

Jonathon is really helpful to explain the meaning of the sentences and when I make my own sentences in Tagalog.
We went through the basics and read Tagalog books (this was my request). He learns different languages, one of them is Russian, so he knows how hard it can be to learn a foreign language.
Some daily words in Tagalog have a rude meaning in other languages.
I am not only learning Tagalog from him, but I also learn from his passion for foreign languages!
