Are you someone who is trying to learn Filipino to communicate with your loved ones? Are you a heritage learner who wants to improve your Filipino language skills? Or are you simply fond of learning languages? From zero-level beginners to intermediate or advanced learners, we'll unlock the secrets of this beautiful language, connecting hearts and bridging cultures. Let's embark on this adventure together and watch your language skills soar!Me as a Teacher
I love crafting and tailoring a specific lesson plan for each student. I always make sure to research the topic first so that I can elaborate on everything and give my students what they need to learn. Whenever I come into class, I don't just 'wing it' and give my 100% in each and every lesson.My lessons & teaching style
I believe that one essential quality of a good language teacher is a good motivator. One should be able to make the student get interested in learning the language and be proficient with it. I like to create engaging and easy-to-understand learning materials that all ages love. I omit words or phrases they do not need in daily conversations and suggest better ones.
I create a personalized lesson plan depending on the student's learning goal. My lessons are comprised of:
-Grammar Discussion
-Dialog (Role-Play)
-Vocabulary
-Activities
-Free conversation
-Culture notesMy teaching material
- PDF file
- Text Documents
- Presentation slides/PPT
- Image files
- Flashcards
- Articles and news
- Quizzes

I enjoy Hana’s approach to teaching beginning Tagalog because the lessons build appropriately. She is very patient and her corrections are quick but not interruptive. Her materials are organized with plenty of examples and opportunities to practice. She also takes time at the beginning of lessons to encourage free talk practice before starting a structured lesson which is very useful when starting to learn a language because it helps overcome that initial shyness and fear of making mistakes. The conversations and lessons are enjoyable and I recommend you book a class and see if her teaching style is the right fit for you.
