🗣️ Speak conversational Tagalog through 10 practical key topics Kamusta kayo! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. If you're looking for a teacher who will make your learning journey feel less daunting while still helping you build real fluency, then you're in the right place. My name is Elena, a teacher and artist from the Philippines. In my classes, you will not only learn how to speak Tagalog but also develop listening skills that will help you finally understand your loved ones even when they speak quickly. To help you achieve your fluency goals, we will also cover the following: • Natural word order in sentences • Contractions • Updated versions of words • Slang and everyday expressions • How Filipinos typically spell words in text messages • Pronunciation tips for speaking naturally • Polite speech • Casual speech • Everyday fillers such as “ano,” “ganun,” “kasi,” and “parang” This may look like a lot at first, but don’t worry. We will take it step by step in a way that fits your learning style and pace. With five years of experience teaching Tagalog, a TEFL certification, and formal classroom teaching experience, I am confident that I can provide clear, structured, and personalized lessons that support your goals. If you're ready to move beyond just studying Tagalog and start using it confidently in real conversations, book a trial lesson and let’s begin your journey together!

After almost 30 lessons with Elena I'm still motivated and ambitious to learn something new each week😎. Her lessons are always really interesting and I think that Elena can explain everything so well. There is never a question she can't answer to you or make you understand. I also feel really comfortable in her class she doesn't only teach Tagalog well, she gives also good life advice and introduces you to the Filipino culture🇵🇭, which is so important in my opinion. I'm really glad that I found such a great teacher right away that meets my expectations and also inspires me😇! Ate if you see this I always have a smile on my face after our class and feel like I have much more knowledge after every class. Maraming salamat 😅💗

I really enjoy learning with Elena, she is a fabulous teacher and makes her lessons fun! She customises the lesson to suit me - a more conversational style, and she is really funny and encouraging. If I struggle with any grammar points or any words her explanations are always on-point and I get it straight away! I feel more inspired to learn Tagalog thanks to Elena. Thank you!! :)

The lesson was great. I was really impressed. This teacher has a unique method for teaching this beautiful language. Many people try to translate everything from their language, halimbawa: Sisiw lang yun 🤦‍♂️. However, part of learning a language is having the essential cultural knowledge of that country. To be able to use the classical sayings and jokes naturally in your speech. Elena cleverly manages to teach the language while also teaching cultural knowledge (2-in-1). If you really want to learn the language, this is the right teacher.
