About Me

Hi! My name is Teacher Lhiz.

I bring energy, care, and a fresh perspective to every lesson. I used to work as a business coordinator, but my heart has always belonged to teaching. I love helping others learn in a way that feels fun and meaningful.

I’ve choreographed dance groups, performed at events, and I enjoy working with people of all ages. I’m also a proud fur-mama to five dogs! In my free time, I love cooking, hiking, and spending time in nature.

When it comes to my teaching style, I focus on a student-centered approach. I make sure children never feel bored, and I love adding a little fun or silliness when it fits the moment. For adult students, I aim to be more like a friend—someone you can learn with comfortably while reaching your goals.

Let’s enjoy learning Tagalog together through real conversations and topics that matter to you. I look forward to supporting your learning journey. 😊

Education

I have High field Diploma in TEFL Level -5. I completed a Hotel and Restaurant Services Certificate at Liceo de Pulilan Colleges in 2016. Furthermore, I also studied Korean language through a 100-hour program at the Korea-Philippines IT Training Center. These experiences helped shape my interest in communication, culture, and working with diverse people. I’m currently completing a 120-hour TEFL certification to grow as a tutor.

Experience / Qualifications

I’ve worked for over 10 years in customer-facing roles in retail and service industries, including as a team leader and store supervisor. I also managed my own business in the Philippines, where I trained staff and handled daily operations. Through this work, I developed strong communication, time management, and people skills.

Recently, I’ve begun helping others learn Tagalog, focusing on beginners who want to speak with family, travel to the Philippines, or explore a new culture. I’m currently taking a TEFL course to strengthen my teaching skills and support learners of all ages.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

A native Russian speaker with a degree in Hispanic Studies from a leading UK university and near-native proficiency in English. I currently teach Russian online for London-based language school, helping English-speaking learners develop their language skills with confidence and clarity.

My lessons are designed for English speakers who want to learn Russian with a tutor who understands both languages and can explain the differences clearly in English.

If you are a complete beginner, we will start with the Cyrillic alphabet, pronunciation, and useful everyday expressions, speaking Russian from the very first lesson. If you already have some knowledge of the language, we will focus on developing your speaking skills, expanding your vocabulary, and tackling more challenging areas, such as the Russian cases system and verbs of motion.

Grammar is introduced naturally, through concise explanations and practical examples rather than lengthy lectures. Where Russian and English differ, I will help you understand the underlying patterns so that you can use the language more accurately and confidently.

Tell me about your goals, and I will tailor our lessons to your individual needs, creating a friendly, supportive environment in which you can make steady progress.
