About Ilona
Mabuhay! I’m Ilona.
As a native speaker born and raised in the Philippines, I don’t just teach Tagalog—I share the soul of my mother tongue. My background is rooted in academia, where I am currently pursuing a PhD in Agricultural Economics. This means I bring a high level of discipline, precision, and intellectual depth to our lessons, ensuring you aren't just memorizing words, but truly understanding how the language functions.
Beyond the books, I am a business owner and a parent living right in the heart of Bicol. My teaching style is amiable, patient, and encouraging. Whether we are navigating the complex world of Tagalog affixes or practicing casual conversation for your next trip to the islands, I create a space where you can feel confident making mistakes and growing at your own pace.
Why learn with me?
Native Precision: I’ll help you catch the subtle nuances that textbooks (and AI!) often miss.
Cultural Context: Learn the "why" behind our expressions and the beauty of talinghaga.
Flexible & Supportive: I adapt to your goals—whether they are professional, academic, or personal.
Let’s skip the "robot" phrasing and start speaking the authentic Tagalog that builds real connections.
I can’t wait to meet you!

Kumusta? Are you looking to speak Tagalog with true heart and local soul?
Learning a new language is a journey, and I’m here to make sure yours is filled with encouragement and genuine connection. As a native speaker with a deep-seated love for the nuances of my mother tongue, I offer more than just grammar drills.
What you can expect from our sessions:
A Warm, Patient Environment: No pressure, just friendly conversations tailored to your pace.
Beyond the Basics: We’ll dive into the richness of talinghaga (metaphors), cultural context, and the "natural" way we actually speak.
Practical Fluency: Whether for travel, family, or personal growth, I’ll help you find your voice in Tagalog.
Let’s turn those "mo" and "po" into confident, flowing sentences!
Learn from me, because even the AI gets it wrong!
