What Are Filipino Teachers?【Courses & Teachers】

✅ Overview

Filipino teachers are English instructors from the Philippines who have developed a high level of proficiency in English as a second language.
Thanks to a national education system where English is used as a medium of instruction from elementary school through university, many Filipinos achieve advanced fluency in both written and spoken English.

The Philippines consistently ranks among the top non-native English-speaking countries in international English proficiency and Business English rankings, making Filipino teachers a popular choice for international students.
