About Me
italki teacher since Dec 7, 2024InterestsTravelWritingFoodBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV Series
Hi, I’m Adrian! I’m a native English and Filipino speaker from the Philippines, now living in Japan. I have been working as a finance professional for almost 20 years. And started teaching part-time on italki in December 2024.
I know how hard it is to learn a new language as an adult since I studied Japanese part-time for 7 years (now JLPT N2 level) and also studied Chinese (HSK 4), French, and Korean.
My lessons are friendly, goal-focused, and based on you needs. Whether your goal is to speak more naturally, strengthen your grammar, or feel more confident in speaking. I’ll guide you every step of the way.
Let’s make learning practical, fun, and rewarding!Me as a Teacher

穏やかで優しい先生です。日本語が話せるので、安心して臨めました。なかなか言葉にしづらいことも、言語化できるように助けてくれました。信頼できる先生だと思います。
