"TESOL Certified ESL Teacher Since 2007, Specializing in English, Tagalog and Hiligaynon Dialects" As a dedicated educator and visual artist, I bring over 15 years of TESOL-certified experience in teaching English, Tagalog, and Hiligaynon to learners across the globe. My ESL journey began in 2007, covering both classroom and online platforms. I joined italki in 2017 and taught actively—with some breaks to focus on my art career and further studies. Now, I’m excited to return. As a native Filipino speaker fluent in English, I understand the challenges of language learning. I’ve worked with diverse learners of all ages, and my teaching style is supportive, creative, and culturally aware—designed to help students gain confidence and express themselves clearly. I hold a certification as an ESL teacher, having completed an advanced TESOL program. My teaching expertise extends to English, Tagalog (my national language), and my dialect, Hiligaynon. Understanding my students' purposes and learning goals enables me to mentor more effectively. Clear communication is crucial for setting an efficient language learning method that benefits both the learner and me. I am adaptable to changes, value preparation, and view each lesson as a vital step in the lifelong learning journey toward progress and achieving goals. I am a proponent of passion and dedication in language learning. I teach both children and adults, offering comprehensive and interactive lessons tailored to each student’s needs. My approach focuses on equipping you with a variety of techniques for effective communication....

​I'm impressed! ​Ann's professionalism and support stood out for me. ​​​She conducted the majority of the lesson​ in Ilonggo​, and not only did she challenge ​me, but she also encouraged me to speak​ in the dialect. I​ ​felt like there wasn't any pressure to perfect anything​, and she ensured​ my understanding before moving on.​ I also enjoyed our conversation.​​ Besides her willingness to help me improve​, ​she also is very accessible outside lesson​s.​ Salamat gid!

In this class, we learned tongue twisters. Ann is enthusiastic and responsible. My child really liked her. She also taught us the methods for practicing at home.

Ann is providing great support. Learning lots of new words every lesson and how they conjugate. Definitely feel like I am starting to get a good grasp of the language fundamentals.
