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 January 2025
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

I've had several lessons with Adrian now and I'm always impressed. The lessons are very professionally prepared. He uses materials that are very similar to my daily work. I highly recommend Adrian as a teacher and I'm already looking forward to the next lesson. Thank you, Adrian!

I continue to be very satisfied with my lessons with Adrian every week. In this past lesson, we reviewed and edited a script that was written for a presentation and we discussed how to make it much more palatable to everyday people, the target audience of the presentation. This lesson helped me out a lot, and I really encourage folks to sign up for this class if they want to improve their fluency and speaking in different settings.
