Ken Aballe

Ken was very clear with his lessons and very relatable in social contexts. Introducing informal slang and teaching when to use which phrases in certain situations is exactly what you need when talking to other native Filipinos. If you want an instructor on how to sound like a local Filipino, he's definitely the one! I will definitely book more lessons with him. Highly recommend!

Ken is great at breaking down and explaining exactly why words and phrases are being used to help you completely understand how to formulate sentences. He's been great!

I enjoyed my first lesson with Ken. His English is very good and that made it easy for him to explain things to me, as English is my native language. He is very knowledgeable in Cebuano and I am sure anyone wanting to learn this language will be very satisfied with his teaching. I look forward to future lessons!

Ken provided a good introduction to Tagalog for a beginner like me. After our first lesson, I understood more Tagalog than before, and I recommend him as your next Tagalog teacher.

I really appreciated the balance in the lesson. The first half was more relaxed with free conversation which made it enjoyable and comfortable. The second half was more structured and focused on correcting my bisaya by creating sentences. This combination of casual conversation and targeted correction made the lesson both fun and productive! Will definitely book again with Ken. Salamat gyud kaayo!

Ken is a great tutor and suits my need for a conversation partner. He can keep a natural flow in a conversation and doesn’t interrupt with corrections, which some tutors do. Looking forward to more sessions!
