Victoria

I have had the pleasure of working with Teacher Victoria for over 9 months. Around the start of my Tagalog journey, I happened to stumble upon her amazing intro video. Right away I knew from the way she expressed herself through her energy, creativity, and passion for teaching Tagalog that it was an absolute must for me to see if she was a fit. After completing our first lesson, there was no question at all on who I wanted to invest my time and energy with. Over the course of my time with Victoria, she has taught me so much about Tagalog and Filipino culture. Whether it be analyzing trendy songs, watching YT videos, listening to her podcasts, or just having fun light-hearted chats I have gained so much knowledge and insight that I cannot thank her enough for all she has given me. Teacher Victoria I believe is one of the best teachers on italki and I highly recommend her if you would like to learn from someone who is so kind, supportive, dedicated, and an absolute joy to work with.

Vicky is honestly my favorite language teacher I’ve ever had 🧡 I can definitely feel how much effort she puts into our classes and she is very present while I share stories. I also appreciate how many examples she gives me for new grammar/vocab so that I fully understand. In the short amount of time I’ve been taking classes with Vicky, I’ve already noticed so much progress in my Tagalog! ✨

Another great lesson with, Vicky! We had some casual conversation in Tagalog about what we did for Christmas, our New Year's plans, and feng shui prosperity bowls (a New Year's tradition in the Philippines that I hadn't known about before)! We then discussed my homework, which was to write 12 sentences using some new vocab words Vicky gave me. I always enjoy learning about vocab with Vicky, as she always gives great info about the nuances of different words and the context for when they should be used. Maraming salamat!

Vicky is the #1 Tagalog teacher on Italki!

I had a great first lesson because she was able to give me confidence while assessing my needs. I am Filipino American that understands and comprehends Tagalog but she was able to assess that I am very much a beginner as far as speaking vocabulary. I can't wait to continue building confidence during our next lesson.

A wonderful final lesson to finish off the year with Victoria. Every lesson there is always an opportunity to tell something about yourself and also to learn something new from an amazing educator. Victoria does a phenomal job in the way she conducts her classes and I always learn so much about Tagalog and Filipino culture.
