Gina Gargoles

I’ve a been a regular student of Tagalog with Gina . The more classes I take , the more I get amazed at Gina’s teaching skills . The classes are well structured , interactive and fun ! Gina is warm and encouraging and creates a safe environment to practice. She makes each lesson engaging with real life phrases and lots of cultural references. I’m totally in love with the Filipino culture and Gina makes it so easy to embrace the language learning process. If you’re someone who wants to learn Tagalog or maybe visit the Philippines ,I highly recommend that you learn Tagalog from Gina . It will be a rewarding experience!

I really appreciate how Gina is active about expanding my Tagalog vocabulary. It feels great to feel like I'm consistently 'leveling up' rather getting stuck with the same beginner materials aka 'tutorial hell'. Again, my Tagalog knowledge is steadily refining and I'm super thankful for that!

Great lesson with Gina! We finished learning about "in/hin" verbs. We also learned about "an/han" verbs, and the way they focus on a location. Gina also helped me understand how some pronouns are object pronouns and possessive pronouns. She explained everything very well in the lesson!

Gina is a very caring and patient teacher, and she pays attention to what I want to learn. She's always happy to make great new original learning materials, and tailor her lesson style and topics from my requests. Her personality is warm and gentle and she's open to chatting about local lifestyle too. She helps me with pronunciation and language structure using practical sample sentences, which also impart some Philippines customs in our lesson.

Today's lesson with Gina was very challenging because we discussed a lot of technical conversation topics but nonetheless she did a phenomenal job helping me translate exactly what I wanted to express. I have only had a few lessons with Gina but I am learning so much from her!

Gina did a fantastic job providing me feedback on my current level of Tagalog since our first lesson. She has given me a lot of confidence and encouragement. Despite this being our second lesson, Gina has already identified what my strengths are and knows where I can improve. It is such a pleasure being able to practice my Tagalog with her.
