I completed Jhoy’s Tagalog Survival Kit, and the quality is exceptional. Her PowerPoints are clear, well-structured, and make each lesson easy to follow. Everything is organized and executed with real intention. It’s obvious she puts in far more preparation than most. Her materials and teaching flow show real experience and thoughtful design. Highly recommended.

There really aren't enough adjectives here to describe Maam Jhoy's talent as a teacher. Really top notch in every way. Thank you so much!

Teacher Jhoy used slides to guide us through the class which provided structure. She explained the context behind the words I was learning as well as the formal/informal way of saying them which helps me to understand the locals and their culture more. She also shared additional new words via chat along the way so I could remember them. Looking forward to my second class!

It can be hard to find a “Good” teacher on italki - but I can honestly say Joy is a “Great” one. You can feel that she really cares about her students and she really encourages you to get the most out of each lesson. She is extremely patient, fun and open to changing things up if you feel it might help you. Try a lesson with Joy - you won’t regret it!
