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.

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!

Jhoy is an excellent Tagalog teacher. She is always prompt and prepared for the lesson. Her prepared PowerPoint slides keep each lesson structured and clear, and her calm, confident presence makes learning feel easy. She explains the language with solid academic clarity but also mixes in everyday phrases and insight on when to just use english or taglish. Highly recommended and looking forward to learning more.

I appreciate how Teacher Jhoy analyses the words within the sentences she introduces and also introduces fun cultural phrases you could hear in real life. She is very encouraging too. Salamat po!!!!!!
