Official Transcript of Records - Ave Maria College - 2017The attached credential is my official transcript of records in college that shows some of the courses taken. Some of them are the Filipino 101 (FIL 101), Filipino 102 (FIL 102), and Filipino 103 (FIL 103) courses that molded me to learn more about our national language here in the Philippines which is Filipino/Tagalog. Cebuano is also considered as my native language that is widely spoken all throughout the country, but no organization that certifies someone's level of Cebuano fluency.

I've completed six lessons with Ryan so far, and he's been an incredible teacher! He's patient, attentive, and always takes the time to ensure I fully understand each concept—even when it takes me a while to get there.
What I really appreciate is how well he tailors each lesson to my learning style. He quickly picks up on the areas where I’m doing well and where I’m struggling, then adjusts the lesson accordingly to better support my progress.
I highly recommend Ryan to anyone eager to learn Tagalog!
