Teacher Jan's Place

Helping children learn, grow, and believe in themselves

Hi, I'm Teacher Jan. I tutor preschool to grade 9 in Naga, in Filipino, English, Math, Science, AP, and more. I meet each child at their pace, so they can grow from where they are.

What families say

You can entrust your child to her expert, loving guidance.

Teacher Jan is the quintessential teacher. She never comes to class unprepared. More importantly she never comes to class without a heart full of cheer and compassion. When you start talking to her and knowing her better, you already know that you can entrust your child to her expert, loving guidance. You know she will look after your child’s every need while he/she is in her classroom.

She has always been a safe space especially for our daughters.

I’ve always been wondering why our children always get excited when it’s tutor time. To the point that they even set their own schedule for tutor without me knowing 🤣 I know why they love their tutor T Jan. She has always been a safe space especially for our daughters. Her tutorials go beyond teaching. She teaches our children more than academics. She teaches good values, patience, responsibility and friendship. As a Pediatrician, I know that this holistic way of teaching is best for our children especially during these times where mental health and society pressure are big issues. Thank youuu T Jan for treating our kids like your own.

What I teach

I teach preschool through Grade 9. I plan each session around your child's grade and what they already know. I meet them where they are, so the work can feel doable.

See what I teach in Naga City

Filipino

Stories, reading aloud, and everyday Filipino woven together so language feels friendly instead of intimidating.

Science

Ideas introduced through conversation and simple explorations so chapters feel like discovery, not overnight memorizing.

Math

Number sense and word problems explained step by step, with space for questions and small celebrations along the way.

English

Readers, vocabulary, and gentle grammar drills balanced so participation and quizzes feel doable.

Araling Panlipunan

History, civics, and geography explored through stories and conversation, not just dates and names to memorize.

Hi, I'm Teacher Jan

I have walked alongside preschool and elementary learners for 20+ years. I am a former school head of The Raya School Naga, and I still lead with discovery, stories, love of reading, curiosity about science, pride in being Filipino, and honoring each child's tempo.

Since 2023 I have opened my Naga home as that calm extension many busy families crave: children laugh, ask messy questions, create alongside drills, and leave understood rather than processed. No franchise scripts here, only sincere mentoring scoped for tutoring.

I meet children honestly, teach so understanding lands first, and celebrate marks as they follow naturally.
