About Me
italki teacher since Dec 13, 2022Interest topicTravelFoodMovies
Hey! I'm Ellie, and I was born and raised in the Philippines. I'm a communication major and a bilingual Filipino-English speaker. I often find myself wishing that more people would learn Tagalog so that they may experience the joy of communicating in my own tongue.
I'm an inquisitive and enthusiastic person who takes a genuine interest in people and thrives on lively conversations. I hope that, through my teaching, we can get a deep understanding of the world and its languages.Me as a Teacher
I have a positive attitude toward teaching. I'm very attentive to the student's development, and I can modify the course materials to best meet your language learning goals. I enjoy instructing students of all ages and experience levels.
My goal as a teacher is to help each student develop their own voice and style in their language use. It's important to enjoy yourself and make some mistakes when you learn a new language; both are necessary for your development. The best learning happens when you're having a great time and taking pride in your progress.My lessons & teaching style
Learning a second language should be a fun and stress-free experience. In our first session together, we'll talk about your language goals and work together to formulate a lesson plan. I'll make sure that our discussions are personalized to your needs because I know that every student has their own set of objectives and preferred methods of learning.
As a teacher, I place a strong emphasis on effective communication, and I believe that speaking as much as possible is the best approach to achieving this goal. We will use realistic texts you'll encounter in the real world as discussion starters.My teaching material

I just have to say, Ellie is an amazing Filipino teacher!
She's been putting in so much effort to help me learn the language, and I've been blown away by how dedicated she is.
I mean, it's one thing to teach a subject, but it's another thing entirely to really care about your students and their progress. And Ellie definitely does!
I've felt so touched and inspired by her commitment to teaching me Filipino. She's a true gem!

I really enjoyed my class with Ellie!!! She is kind and encouraging. She challenged me to read and pronounce immediately and adjusted my words when my accent was off. I did not feel embarrassed to try in her class. Thank you Ellie!

It was a great lesson with Ellie! She help me with verb conjugations and some other words that I had forgotten. The Wheel of Tagalog game was a fun bonus too!
