Rajah Patria SolimanQuezon City, Metro Manila, PhilippinesFilipino | Materials Engineer | University of the Philippines graduate | English & Tagalog Speaker
I am a Filipino, born, raised, and living in the Philippines. English and Filipino are my mother tongue, and both are the official languages of our country. I also have experience in teaching as an online ESL tutor.
The Philippine education curriculum has incorporated English in the subjects of elementary to college (15 years of English education). I graduated from the University of the Philippines, one of the most prestigious state universities here in the Philippines. I passed the entrance exam written in English (reading comprehension and language proficiency, math and science).
I finished a total of 186 units in college as a Materials Engineering student. I took classes/courses on College English, Asian Literature, and Public Speaking and Persuasion, a total of 9 units.
I had three (3) units in Linguistics class so I understand how to teach the language and its structure (grammar, syntax, phonetics).
Learning the language is one of the keys to opening opportunities, great experiences, and friendships. I know what it feels like to study a new language because I've started to learn Mandarin.
And as they say, experience is the best teacher. That's why I love traveling. If you also like traveling, you can visit different countries on your next vacation.
There are also a lot of English speakers around the world, you can speak to them in their native language, too. The possibilities are endless!
I was able to make friends with other nationalities (Singaporeans, Chinese, Latinos, Americans, Africans) because I know English and I am fluent in it.
So, book a class with me. Let's practice and achieve your language goals together!
