Maricar Lajos Licensed Professional Teacher - Major in Filipino
No reviews yet

I am a Licensed Professional Teacher with four years of teaching experience in a formal educational setting. I've taught Filipino language and culture to learners from various nationalities. I completed 9 units in my Master of Arts in Education major in Filipino Language Teaching, which expanded my knowledge and teaching skills. Teaching is my passion, and I never put pressure on my students to perform in class. I encourage student engagement in my classes and I know how to select activities that are appropriate for each student. I create lessons that will help my students understand grammar in Filipino, how to construct sentences and how to use them in their daily activities. Incorporating interactive activities into my teaching methods as a Tagalog Tutor has significantly improve the learning experience of my students and make the language learning process more fun and successful. To avoid overwhelming the students, I usually start with the basics of Filipino Language, such as common phrases used to begin the conversation. Then, I gradually introduce grammar rules, vocabulary building, and basic sentence construction. Having conversational practice with my students is one of my best methods. Starting with simple greetings and working their way up to more complicated areas. I also simulate situations from daily life so the learners can practice speaking Tagalog by using role-playing activities. I show my students visual materials and ask them to give descriptions using Tagalog Language. Introducing Filipino traditions and culture in my lessons through cultural activities is also a way of enhancing the students vocabulary. This can involve discovering local holidays, traditions, and delicacies. I always make my classes fun yet informative. These are just some of my teaching styles, but I still believe that there is no best teaching method because learners have different learning styles. It also depends on the students' needs and goals.
