About Me
italki teacher since Apr 28, 2021
Hi! I'm Liza! I used to be a teacher in a Montessori school. Then, a year ago, the pandemic struck and I have since transitioned to teaching Tagalog online. Because of this, I have gained teaching experience in both classroom and online environments.
On a personal level, I listen to all genres of music and I love to sing (but only when I'm alone). I also like playing chess, inline skating, and learning new languages. Right now, my main language goal is to reach B2 level in French.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I firmly believe that teaching is not just relaying information or giving lectures within the four corners of the "classroom" (or computer screen) so I make sure that each class is interactive.
Most of all, my goal is to make learning fun and easy for my students and it always warms my heart to see them improve and to hear that they love taking lessons with me.
My lessons & teaching style
I focus on teaching PRACTICAL Tagalog and you can be assured that I will NOT give you random vocabulary lists of fruits, vegetables, and animals in Tagalog nor will I make you memorize them.
That said, I do believe that studying grammar and building vocabulary are important aspects of learning a language, especially for beginners, so we would still include them in our lessons. But most importantly, I will focus on teaching you the structure of the Tagalog language so you can make sentences on your own.

Aysa is the perfect teacher for me! She has a plan for the lesson, but if I get it, she will move on. If I had difficulties with something, she is prepared with more examples and she will always explain.
And she gives homework, although it's not super strict if I do them, but I like it, because it gives me a review before the next class. I can also check them myself, and if I don't understand something, I can ask next class, otherwise I can check the right answers and usually I see what I did wrong.
I finished my lessons for now, next week I will go to a cruise where I can practice my skills in real life. If I have time, I would love to learn more Tagalog, but I might have to prioritize other things. However, I think I will come back from time to time to learn a bit more and to review what I learned before :)
Maraming salamat. Aysa!

I had a bit of a break after the first lesson for life reasons, but we got back to the lesson very nicely. Alysa's way of explaining is very clear and I love that after a few lessons I can already make some combined and more complicated sentences. Obviously I still forget a lot of words and there's more each time, but I also pick up and remember more of them each time.
For me the lessons are fun, and while in this beginner stage very structured (because I don't yet know that much), I will always try to say something I would say about my life. And if it's something we haven't learned yet, I like that Alysa tells me how to say it, but doesn't go into explanation yet, it will come, but I do get the way to say it.
I feel like I'm learning a lot each lesson about how the language works, but also we practice a lot, so that it sticks, because while I usually understand quickly, the practice is very necessary or I easily forget everything.

I loved my first lesson with Aysa! I feel like I learned a lot in such a short time. She will have me speaking Tagalog in no time!

I loved my first lesson with Alysa! She is a great teacher. I am a complete beginner, but she made me feel comfortable and we had a fun lesson. I learned a lot of new tagalog! I can't wait for the next lesson.
