About Me

If you're looking for RESULTS—no matter what—I'll help you get there in the shortest time possible.

Hi! My name is Ma. Concepcion, but you can call me Maria or Sam. I’m a native Tagalog speaker with a C1 level in English and have conducted over 11,000 online lessons across different platforms since 2015.

I’m based in the southern part of the Philippines, which is why I’m also a native speaker of Bisaya (Cebuano), Ilonggo (Hiligaynon), and Karay-a.

My goal as your tutor is not just to help you learn a language—but to help you connect with the richness of Filipino culture. I’m here to guide you from being “someone who listens and guesses” to becoming “someone who confidently initiates conversations.”

Thanks to years of experience and thousands of students, I’ve developed a unique and flexible teaching style that adapts to YOU. I'm always ready to go the extra mile to help you succeed.

I design every class to match your learning style. Whether you're a:

Visual learner (you learn best through images, visuals, or text),

Auditory learner (you understand better through listening and speaking), or

Kinesthetic learner (you prefer hands-on, interactive practice),
I’ll make sure the lesson fits your needs.

I also offer both structured lessons and pure conversational practice, depending on what you're looking for.

Come and discover how fun and effective language learning can be. No more dilly-dallying—let’s get started!
