About Me
italki teacher since Dec 13, 2016InterestsHistoryLegal ServicesTravelArtEnvironment & Nature
As a dedicated educator and visual artist, I bring over 15 years of TESOL-certified experience in teaching English, Tagalog, and Hiligaynon to learners across the globe. My ESL journey began in 2007, covering both classroom and online platforms. I joined italki in 2017 and taught actively—with some breaks to focus on my art career and further studies. Now, I’m excited to return. As a native Filipino speaker fluent in English, I understand the challenges of language learning. I’ve worked with diverse learners of all ages, and my teaching style is supportive, creative, and culturally aware—designed to help students gain confidence and express themselves clearly.Me as a Teacher
I hold a certification as an ESL teacher, having completed an advanced TESOL program. My teaching expertise extends to English, Tagalog (my national language), and my dialect, Hiligaynon. Understanding my students' purposes and learning goals enables me to mentor more effectively. Clear communication is crucial for setting an efficient language learning method that benefits both the learner and me. I am adaptable to changes, value preparation, and view each lesson as a vital step in the lifelong learning journey toward progress and achieving goals. I am a proponent of passion and dedication in language learning.My lessons & teaching style
I teach both children and adults, offering comprehensive and interactive lessons tailored to each student’s needs. My approach focuses on equipping you with a variety of techniques for effective communication.
Understanding you and your unique culture is a priority, as it enriches the learning experience. I encourage active participation, emphasizing the importance of speaking practice. Throughout our sessions, I’ll provide personalized feedback on vocabulary, grammar, spoken expressions, and other key language skills to help you improve.
Flexibility and adaptability are my strengths. I strive to make every lesson both enjoyable and productive.My teaching material

I'm impressed! Ann's professionalism and support stood out for me. She conducted the majority of the lesson in Ilonggo, and not only did she challenge me, but she also encouraged me to speak in the dialect. I felt like there wasn't any pressure to perfect anything, and she ensured my understanding before moving on. I also enjoyed our conversation. Besides her willingness to help me improve, she also is very accessible outside lessons. Salamat gid!

Ann is providing great support. Learning lots of new words every lesson and how they conjugate. Definitely feel like I am starting to get a good grasp of the language fundamentals.
