Jhoanna is a patient, encouraging teacher who brings a lot of positive energy into lessons! As a teacher by profession, I can really see the practical experience she leverages even here on italki. And as a plus for me, she had lived in the same city that I called a hometown in the Philippines, so we're able to incorporate that into our lessons! For our first lesson, Teacher Jhoanna prepared some slides showcasing what's changed there since I moved away as a teenager, so that we could talk (in Cebuano) in depth about that. It was very enjoyable, engaging, and educational for me, while being able to practice and refresh on the language. I wholeheartedly recommend Jhoanna for anyone's Cebuano learning needs. Salamat jud kaayo Teacher Jhoanna!

I had a trial lesson with Teacher Jhoanna and enjoyed it very much. She’s very friendly and patient. She helped me with my pronunciation by typing things out phonetically. After the lesson she shared with me the slide deck we used during the lesson, which was very helpful for reviewing. Thank you Jhoanna!

Great conversation. I felt comfortable immediately. I definitely recommend her.

If you're a native english speaker trying to learn Tagalog or Basaya, you can't go wrong with Jhoanna. She's patient and easy to talk with and has a gentle way of helping smooth out bad pronunciation. She helped me gain a better understanding of Davao City and the surrounding area. I'd recommend.

she is a great teacher i will take more classes with her

Very encouraging and helpful as always!
