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.




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.

My daughter has no grades below 90.
At first, I was hesitant to have my daughter tutored because she’s already in high school, but Teacher Jan welcomed her and treated her like her own daughter. She was having a hard time in Math, but Teacher Jan’s ways of teaching helped her understand the lessons easily, and as a result, my daughter has no grades below 90. We are thankful for her patience, kindness, and most especially her talent and skills in Math.

She helped me understand lessons that used to confuse me and give me headaches.
I’m really grateful to have Teacher Jan as my tutor. She helped me understand lessons that used to confuse me and give me headaches. She also makes sure to build good connections with each of us, making it comfortable and enjoyable for us to learn a lot.

She is a teacher with a mix of ‘mothering’ and a friend to my daughter.
One time, I asked my daughter, “Who is stricter: Teacher Jan or Mama?” She confidently answered, “Mama”… so it is safe to say that Teacher Jan is my daughter’s favorite teacher. Teacher Jan is presently my daughter’s homeschool teacher. Just recently, I asked her again if she wants to go to a regular school or continue homeschooling under Teacher Jan’s supervision… She chose the latter. What would I do without Teacher Jan’s help?! Yes, she is a great help to me in educating Rafa. Her role goes way beyond academics; she is a teacher with a mix of ‘mothering’ and a friend to my daughter. She is a gentle but effective educator. One of the many signs I saw in my daughter that led me to believe homeschooling is good for her, is that whatever she is learning in class, she is able to share as if she is teaching it back. Whatever that method of learning is, one great factor of it is T. Jan’s way of teaching: educating while nurturing.

She connects with them in a way that makes them feel supported and confident.
Teacher Jan has been an incredible teacher for my children. What truly sets her apart is how well she understands each child’s unique learning style—she connects with them in a way that makes them feel supported and confident. She is highly flexible and always adapts her approach to suit children’s needs, whether it’s reinforcing fundamentals or challenging them to go further. Her teaching style is progressive, engaging, and effective—she doesn’t just teach for the sake of completing lessons, but ensures real understanding and growth. Most importantly, Teacher Jan prepares my children thoroughly for their exams. They go in feeling ready and come out performing well, which speaks volumes about her dedication and competence. Beyond academics, she genuinely cares for her students. She creates a positive and enjoyable learning environment, making lessons something my kids actually look forward to. I highly recommend Teacher Jan to any parent looking for a committed, thoughtful, and results-driven tutor.

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 CityStories, reading aloud, and everyday Filipino woven together so language feels friendly instead of intimidating.
Ideas introduced through conversation and simple explorations so chapters feel like discovery, not overnight memorizing.
Number sense and word problems explained step by step, with space for questions and small celebrations along the way.
Readers, vocabulary, and gentle grammar drills balanced so participation and quizzes feel doable.
History, civics, and geography explored through stories and conversation, not just dates and names to memorize.
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.
