Hi! I'm Nikki! I speak English, Filipino, and conversational Japanese. I'm deeply interested in psychology, history, languages, and cultures. In my free time, I enjoy watching anime, playing video games, and learning languages. I’ve had the privilege of teaching students as young as six and as old as sixty-seven, and this experience has helped me gather all sorts of resources and explore different teaching methods. I can also design lessons to fit your goals, whether it’s practicing conversation, improving your grammar, or something else. :) こんにちは! ニキです。日本語で英語とタガログ語を教えることができます。でも私は日本語を流暢に話せません。中級レベルの日本語で教えます。簡単英語で英語を教えることもできます。

Me as a Teacher

I have taught in several literacy programs and taken English and communication courses. Communication and fluency are the focus of my conversation lessons. Lessons will cover grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Since I teach a diverse group of students, I tailor my teaching methods to meet the needs and goals of each student. I'm a strong believer in learning by doing, so I encourage my students to speak their target language with confidence. I use a variety of resources, from textbooks to fun websites, to make learning enjoyable and effective. Feedback is usually given in class.

My lessons & teaching style

In these lessons, we'll focus on building fluency through regular practice. We'll cover grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation as we go. If you'd rather focus on grammar, that's totally fine too! I can also help you boost your IELTS Speaking score with targeted practice and feedback. To support your progress, we’ll use a mix of structured lessons and conversation lessons. • Guided textbook lessons- I’ve got lots of textbooks we can use. (StartUp 1-8, Power Up, etc.) • Topic-based discussions • IELTS speaking practice …and more! Check my courses for more details. These lessons aim to improve your overall language proficiency, whether you're just starting or looking to level up your skills.

I have learned grammar in school, and on my own, but my real problem is speaking. I've tried everything, but nothing worked for me. Until I tried taking one-on-one speaking lessons. Nikki is really easy to talk with and she sends corrections after the class. She knows so much about so many things, and I learned a lot from our conversation. She knows a lot about my interests and has no problem discussing anything under the sun. So, I learned many new words from her. She can speak some Japanese too! I didn't realize it, but a friend from another country said my speaking sounds more natural now. I'm really really thankful to her! My confidence has increased! Thank you!
