Hello from the Philippines! My name is Bhawana, but you can call me Bubbles. Growing up, I always wanted to make a difference in other people’s lives. I spent years teaching children living on the street and doing my very best to make a positive impact. While I have always been passionate about teaching, seeing its impact with my own eyes only made my love for it grow deeper!
When I discovered Italki, I was overjoyed! Apart from my love for teaching, I also enjoy learning about different cultures. I am so grateful for the opportunity to do this and I would be incredibly happy to be your teacher! I will do everything I can to help you achieve your learning goals. I believe in you! :)
Ich als Lehrkraft
Are you finding it difficult to find the right words when communicating in English or Filipino?
Well, you've come to the right place! I am here to teach you everything you need to know to become a more confident speaker and writer. I have spent over seven years teaching children and adults from countries such as the USA, Canada, Spain, China and Japan. I offer lessons to people of all levels!
One word that a lot of my students use to describe me is “flexible.” I recognize that all my students are unique. As such, I always adjust my lessons to fit their needs. Whether you need help with grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary or even confidence, I know there’s no obstacle that you can’t surpass!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I will always keep your goals in mind when preparing for our classes!
If you wish to follow a lesson plan, I will design one that’s suited to your needs. We will learn the language through the textbook method. I will focus on your weaker areas to ensure we make the most out of our classes.
If you are into activities or are preparing for a test or an interview, we will adapt the activity-based method. Some examples of activities include tongue-twisters, role-playing, and free-talking. If you would like to work on your reading and pronunciation, I can provide you with articles and stories.
No matter which method you choose, I’ll be more than happy to accommodate you and adapt to your needs!

When I talking to Bibi, I speak like in a different world, believing that all people are as sincere as she is. You can talk to her not only to learn English, but also to add value to an hour of your life. It's a great chance for me to meet Bibi, I hope I always keep this chance.

Chloe learned about some furnitures found in the living room today. She got to play a game and do a drawing activity which she both loves! Thank you for incorporating play, music or art every time, they really are the best methods for her 😄

This was exactly what I was looking for :) Really happy that Bubbles completely immerses me in the language and encourages me to respond in Tagalog too, despite me only being a beginner. I learned so much and I had a lot of fun. It was so nice meeting you Bubbles, I'll see you soon!
