Me as a Teacher
I'm excited to be here to teach you Tagalog and Cebuano. I'm passionate about teaching these languages as it's a gateway to connect with the stories, emotions and culture of the Filipino people. Whether you’re learning to speak with family, prepare for travel, or just because you are curious, I'm here to support you.
I'm committed to making your learning journey fun and engaging. I know what it's like to learn something completely new, and I want our classes to feel comfortable, free to make mistakes and celebrate progress, big or small. I'm open to any questions or feedback you have, and I can't wait to get to know each of you along the way.

My teaching style is all about you. I believe in a student-centered approach. This means that our lessons will be customized to your needs, interests and learning pace. I'll encourage you to ask questions, practice conversations and use the language in ways that's meaningful to you.
I'm here to support you to build confidence and explore the language. We’ll learn grammar and vocabulary and spend a lot of time speaking, listening and interacting in real life situations. My goal is to make sure you’re not just memorizing words but truly connecting with the language. I'm here to help you every step of the way.

I’ve had many Tagalog classes with Gina, and every single one has been a rewarding and enjoyable learning experience. Her lessons are clear, engaging, and tailored to my pace, making even difficult grammar easy to grasp.
She’s patient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about my progress. My confidence in speaking Tagalog has grown so much thanks to her guidance. We also talked about local culture and lifestyle to help me understand more about the Philippines.
Gina is also warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in their students’ progress. Her consistency and positive energy make every lesson something I look forward to.
If you’re serious about learning Tagalog or preparing yourself for a trip, I highly recommend Gina.

Gina is a very caring and patient teacher, and she pays attention to what I want to learn. She's always happy to make great new original learning materials, and tailor her lesson style and topics from my requests. Her personality is warm and gentle and she's open to chatting about local lifestyle too. She helps me with pronunciation and language structure using practical sample sentences, which also impart some Philippines customs in our lesson.

She makes each lesson engaging with real life phrases and lots of cultural references.
I’m totally in love with the Filipino culture and Gina makes it so easy to embrace the language learning process.
If you’re someone who wants to learn Tagalog or maybe visit the Philippines ,I highly recommend that you learn Tagalog from Gina . It will be a rewarding experience!

Great lesson with Gina! We continued working on making sentences. Gina gave me an exercise to do where there were many nouns, verbs and adjectives to select from; and I had to make sentences using them. It was a good practice and it connects all the things together that we've learned!

Great lesson with Gina! Gina talked about her recent trip to Thailand and showed me some photos. It was fun hearing about her experience! After that, we continued to practice making sentences. Gina has taught me all the things that are needed for making sentences. Her class is low-stress and makes it easy to learn!
