Hi! I’m Maria (Sam)—a passionate and experienced polyglot and language tutor from the Philippines. I’ve been teaching online since 2015 and have conducted over 11,000 lessons with students from all over the world.

As a native speaker of :
📍Tagalog,
📍Bisaya (Cebuano),
📍Ilonggo (Hiligaynon),
📍Karay-a
📍and a fluent English speaker with a C1 level and a 100% American accent, I know what it takes to learn and master multiple languages. I bring that same understanding and empathy into every lesson I teach.

I tailor each class to your goals—whether you’re learning for love, travel, work, or personal growth. You can choose between structured lessons or relaxed conversation practice (open cam or audio-only—whatever you're comfortable with). We can talk about your interests, career, or even do reading practice to sharpen your accent and fluency.

As a fellow language learner, I understand the excitement and struggles of the journey. That’s why I’m here to guide, support, and help you speak with confidence—at your own pace, in your own style.

Let’s enjoy learning together. I can’t wait to meet you!
