Gina Gargoles

I’ve a been a regular student of Tagalog with Gina . The more classes I take , the more I get amazed at Gina’s teaching skills . The classes are well structured , interactive and fun ! Gina is warm and encouraging and creates a safe environment to practice. She makes each lesson engaging with real life phrases and lots of cultural references. I’m totally in love with the Filipino culture and Gina makes it so easy to embrace the language learning process. If you’re someone who wants to learn Tagalog or maybe visit the Philippines ,I highly recommend that you learn Tagalog from Gina . It will be a rewarding experience!

I really appreciate how Gina is active about expanding my Tagalog vocabulary. It feels great to feel like I'm consistently 'leveling up' rather getting stuck with the same beginner materials aka 'tutorial hell'. Again, my Tagalog knowledge is steadily refining and I'm super thankful for that!

Gina is an excellent teacher. She is very attentative and supportive, and you can tell that she genuinely wants her students to succeed. The lessons are fun while still being informative, and I have been learning a lot!

Gina is a very caring and patient teacher, and she pays attention to what I want to learn. She's always happy to make great new original learning materials, and tailor her lesson style and topics from my requests. Her personality is warm and gentle and she's open to chatting about local lifestyle too. She helps me with pronunciation and language structure using practical sample sentences, which also impart some Philippines customs in our lesson.

I really appreciate how Gina is a very kind and respectful teacher. She works very hard to ensure her students walk away learning something new and insightful in her lesson. She is very receptive to questions you ask and it is always fun learning about her experiences and Filipino culture.

A very challenging lesson with Gina as we reviewed some grammar concepts but along the way I learned a ton of new vocabulary I never encountered before especially in the context of Tagalog grammatical terms. I appreciate that Gina does hold back in stretching the difficulty so that I can further expand my knowledge. As always, she does a fantastic job explaining the things that I have difficulty with or have no knowledge of whatsover.
