Gina Gargoles

I’ve had many Tagalog classes with Gina, and every single one has been a rewarding and enjoyable learning experience. Her lessons are clear, engaging, and tailored to my pace, making even difficult grammar easy to grasp. She’s patient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about my progress. My confidence in speaking Tagalog has grown so much thanks to her guidance. We also talked about local culture and lifestyle to help me understand more about the Philippines. Gina is also warm, friendly, and genuinely invested in their students’ progress. Her consistency and positive energy make every lesson something I look forward to. If you’re serious about learning Tagalog or preparing yourself for a trip, I highly recommend Gina.

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.

Great lesson with Gina! We continued working on making sentences. Gina gave me an exercise to do where there were many nouns, verbs and adjectives to select from; and I had to make sentences using them. It was a good practice and it connects all the things together that we've learned!

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!

Great lesson with Gina! We talked about the Thanksgiving holiday. After that, we played a matching game that Gina had prepared. There were sentences that I had to match with the meaning. Gina created the sentences using a variety of new vocabulary words. Gina checked the answers and defined the new vocabulary words. It was a fun exercise, and a creative way that Gina thought of for learning vocabulary!

Great teacher! :)
