Why families in Davao City look for English tuition
Davao families frequently speak Cebuano or Davaoeño at home. Parents there often tell us the same thing: their child understands English lessons perfectly well but will not speak in class, and there is no realistic way for a teacher with forty pupils to give each one speaking time.
Our lessons are built around giving a child the speaking practice a large classroom cannot. Children follow the K to 12 curriculum set by the Department of Education at school, and a tutor who understands that context is more useful than one teaching a generic syllabus.
Lesson times that fit a Davao City school day
Davao City shares our teaching timezone, so after-school lessons are straightforward: anything between 15:00 and 20:00 local time is a normal slot for us.
Times are always displayed in your own local timezone inside the dashboard, so there is nothing to convert and nothing to get wrong.
Situations we are asked about most in Davao City
- A shy child who will not speak English in front of classmates
- A pupil whose school has few English speaking opportunities
- A child switching between Cebuano, Davaoeño and English daily
What a lesson looks like
Your child speaks the whole lesson
In a class of forty a child might speak for three minutes. One-to-one, they speak for twenty-five. That is the entire difference in how quickly confidence grows.
Real coursebooks
Lessons follow Cambridge and Oxford books — Power Up, Global English, Family and Friends, Grammar Friends — not improvised worksheets.
Written feedback every time
After each class the teacher records what was practised, what went well and what to work on, with words to practise at home.

Questions from Davao City parents
My child understands English but will not speak it. Is that normal?
Very. It is the single most common thing Davao parents describe to us. Comprehension usually arrives long before confidence, and the only reliable cure is regular, low-pressure speaking practice with somebody patient.
What internet speed do we need in Davao?
Anything that handles a normal video call. There is also a low-bandwidth mode that reduces video quality to keep audio clear if your connection is unstable.
Do you teach children outside Davao City?
Yes. Lessons are fully online, so families anywhere in Mindanao can join.
