Kumusta! Iām Light from Baguio City, Philippinesāyour guide to *real* Tagalog, English, and Baguio Ilokano, spiced with slang, culture, and secret local tips! šæ Whether youāre prepping for a trip, wooing a *kabayan* (fellow Filipino), or rediscovering roots, Iāll teach you the phrases that make locals grin (*"Naimbag nga malem!"*āgood afternoon in Ilokano!). My lessons? Like sharing *tsaa* (tea) with a friendāchill, fun, and full of "Aha!" moments. Mistake? No problemāweāll laugh and learn. Ready to sound like you belong? *Intayon!* (Letās go!) āMe as a Teacher
Iām a friendly and approachable teacher who keeps lessons relaxed but knows when to be firm to help students improve. I make sure my students feel comfortable speaking, asking questions, and learning at their own pace š
I believe students learn best when they feel supported and at ease, so I aim to create a positive and stress-free learning environment. I can also prepare clear and engaging PowerPoint presentations whenever needed or upon request šāØ My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are personalized based on each studentās level. I start with a friendly introduction, then focus on basic vocabulary for beginners or conversation practice for students who already know the basics. We talk about real-life topics like culture, family, and daily life to build confidence š£ļøāØMy teaching material

Second lesson with Light and more to come. Multiple ways of teaching has helped in finding the right style for myself. Her patience, understanding, and enthusiasm has brought me back to her lessons and will do the same for you. If you are looking for a proper, modern, and not stiff (textbook) way of speaking Tagalog, (even though she will show you examples of it if you ask) you don't need to look further. Salamat titser Light!

Light is a energetic and patient teacher. She takes the time to help you with pronunciation and speech while also keeping the lesson fun and interactive. I highly recommend light for anyone who is wanting to learn tagalog but needs to cover basic words/Phrases and eventually progress into light/heavy sentences.
