Hello, I'm James and I'm an English and Tagalog teacher from the Philippines!
I love music so my hobbies include playing the guitar and singing with my wife.
I love travelling too. It helps me in my self-development and gives chances to learn about other cultures and backgrounds. I get to taste different cuisines. I have a good palate^^.
I have lived in South Korea for 10 years so I was able to learn basic Korean communication skills.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have passion in teaching and learning as well. I want to share that passion to my students. I earned TESOL, TEFL and EFSET Certificates.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Getting to know the student by asking them questions about themselves and why they want to learn English is relevant in my teaching method. I listen carefully and in that way, I can able to figure out what I need to work on with the students. My teaching is more on casual conversations. My students will expect my classes to be educative, interactive and of course fun. I'm really flexible. I can slow down for beginners and can speed things up with those advanced in level. I am patient and will not give up until you feel confident!
My Tagalog has greatly improved since I've taken classes from Mr. Tugade. He knows that I need help speaking and having those words come out of me because for years, I am able to listen and understand but I reply back in English when I moved to the US. Mr. Tugade has tailored all lessons to my needs, answers all my questions, and has corrected some of my journal writing in Tagalog to make it sound more natural. He is a great, funny, and patient teacher.
I feel more confident now speaking Tagalog outside of this class to my mom and dad, to Tagalog speakers at my work, to other relatives, friends, and also texting in Tagalog has become more natural because of the practice that we did in class.
Kaya mag-sign up po kayo sa kaniyang klase, marami po kayong matututunan! (So sign up for his class, you will learn a lot!)

James brings a very personalized approach to each lesson. His patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm for teaching Tagalog continues to motivate me to stay committed to learning. I highly recommend James to anyone looking to learn Tagalog effectively and with a positive, supportive approach. Maraming salamat, James!

I purchased a package with James. Always enjoy my time learning from him. It's difficult, but I am learning a lot each time we have a lesson

Sobrang thankful para kay James. Nag-aaral akong tagalog para sa isang taon at karamihan ang journey ko kasama si James. Pumunta ako sa philippines sa Marso 2014 at hindi ko alam kung nagkaroon akong same experience without tulong si James.
Wala akong perpektong tagalog pero I will get there with James' help in the future. Please don't hesitate to book a class with James in whichever language you choose. Sa palagay ko, Pinakamabuting titser sa iTalki :)
