A teacher from the Philippines, now a student at Griffith University has opened his door to all Brisbane residents who wish to learn Filipino langauges in the quietness of a home environment.

Mr Ely Paez used to teach at Bambang Elementary School in Pasig City in Manila before he ventured to study Commerce at a Brisbane University.

His timetable has allowed potential Tagalog learners to receive lessons from him on Mondays, Wednesdays and most especially, weekends. He is also available at night times of those days until midnight.

His hourly rate is very affordable. He only accepts cash and please be reminded that because this is a private tuition only, you will get the benefit of a special one-on-one instruction.

"I would love to talk to those who desire to get the very basic of Filipino language, particularly the sounding of the syllables of the language," he said.

"Once the learner knows the basic sounds of the letters, especially the vowels, one will find it easy to speak and read Filipino words," he added.

"In the Filipino language, the principle is the sounding makes the writing and the writing makes the reading," he explained. "Kung anong bigkas, siyang sulat, at kung anong sulat siyang basa."

Ely is a graduate of Bachelor of Secondary Education from Capiz State University. He is fluent in Hiligaynon and Tagalog.

His mobile number is 0435647863 or home 07 37114358. His email is zeapyle@yahoo.com.

He lives in Brisbane's Southside, in Calamvale.
