Hi! I’m Light from Baguio City, Philippines. 🌿 Your Tagalog (Filipino), English, & Baguio Ilokano coach—specializing in real-life language with culture, slang, and hidden local gems! Whether you’re learning for travel, love, or reconnecting with roots, I’ll make you sound like a local (ever heard "Agyamanak!"? You will!). ☕ Let’s swap stories over tsaa (tea)—mistakes welcome, laughter guaranteed! Intayon! (Let’s go!)Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I can be strict if I have to, but I am basically a "chill" teacher. I make sure that my students are comfortable talking and studying with me.
I will prepare powerpoint presentations if needed and requested. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons and teaching styles vary from one student to another. I start with introductions, to make my students feel at ease. Then, I ask about their prior knowledge on the target language. For beginners, we start with some useful vocabs (introduction and greetings). If the student already know the basics, then we move to conversation. We can talk about culture, relationship, family, etc.My teaching material

I had a really fun first lesson getting to know Light! I enjoyed the easy-going atmosphere of the lesson and felt comfortable talking about any topic. I look forward to more classes in the future. Thank you!

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!
