About Me
italki teacher since Jul 21, 2022
Hi! Kumusta? :) My name is Marisol. I'm a Filipino, and Tagalog is my mother tongue. I've been teaching American Sign Language too, as I use it in doing volunteer work. I love teaching various learners and guiding them as they make progress in learning new languages. Aside from teaching, I also enjoy travelling to different countries and learning about different cultures. I also love doing photography, playing my kalimba, painting, solving Math problems, coding and playing with my cats.

Me as a Teacher
I taught in a public high school in the Philippines for nine years. Currently, I work as an online teacher - teaching learners from different countries and backgrounds and of different ages. I've helped several learners grow from being an absolute beginner to being able to effectively communicate in the Filipino and American Sign languages.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is student-centered. I guide my students throughout their learning journey by focusing on their individual interests and needs. I cater to their learning style/s as well. My classroom is mostly relaxed but learning-filled.
I have prepared materials for different learners and I make sure to know each student's needs first so I can adapt to their learning needs and styles. I also use different technology and platforms to make learning more fun. When my students need to focus on certain weaknesses or reinforce some strengths, I also help them improve on those.

Teacher’s pick
I was very impressed with my first session with Marisol! She had materials ready and did her initial assessment with me very efficiently. She was able to determine my proficiency level within 5 minutes AND she modified her lesson to suit my level and needs in that time frame. Her feedback and corrections were clear and concise; she even noticed and encouraged the efforts I made during our session. If my Filipino teacher back in elementary school were like her, my Tagalog would have been so much better. Marisol is the teacher you're looking for if you want to learn Tagalog/Filipino!

Marisol conducted the initial assessment so seamlessly that I was engaged and focused for the whole duration of our session. She was able to bring me to a level of comfort where I was eager to learn and even more motivated to keep going. She has presentations/materials ready which will help me practice in-between our sessions. If you are looking for a well-prepared and proficient teacher, definitely learn from Marisol!

Very good initial assessment and class for my 13yo. My daughter can be picky about teachers because she is smart and shy, this teacher would be a great fit for any personality and ASL level. Glad I made the right choice the 1st try!

Marisol is the most amazing ASL teacher I have ever met. She is kind, passionate and enthusiastic. She was very helpful and taught me so much within just 30 min . I highly recommend Marisol to every single student on Italki. I will definitely book more classes !
