Professional teacher with 5 years of experience | Teaching English, Filipino, and Baguio Ilokano 📚✨ Hi! I'm Light, and I help learners speak real-life Tagalog, English, and Baguio Ilokano—the kind locals actually use in everyday conversations. Why learn with me? * ✅ 450+ lessons taught with learners from different backgrounds. * 🗣️ Learn authentic expressions, slang, and everyday conversations—not just textbook phrases. * 🌲 Discover Baguio culture, local etiquette, and insider tips that make your language skills feel natural. * 🤝 Perfect for travelers, heritage learners, expats, and anyone who wants to connect confidently with Filipinos. * 🗣️ English conversation practices (talk about life, hobbies, school, and more!) What my lessons are like: Think of our classes as chatting over a warm cup of tsaa (tea). They're relaxed, interactive, and personalized to your goals. You'll practice speaking from day one, ask questions freely, and turn mistakes into meaningful progress. Whether you want to impress (Filipino) friends, reconnect with your roots, prepare for a trip, or simply sound more like a local, I'll help you build confidence one conversation at a time. Ready to start? Intayon! Tara! (Let's go!) ☕

Teacher’s pick
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.
