More Testimonials

This is a fantastic service you are offering. We are half Igbo and grew up in Greece and the option wasn’t ever there to get a tutor. This is very healing for our identities, thank you.

I loved everything about the trial session and I'd like have bi-weekly sessions. Prince is an amazing tutor and I want to continue the sessions with him

“My feedback overall I enjoyed the lesson as I didn’t feel judged when I got things wrong and the positive feedback from the tutor helped It helped when words were broken down for me as that’s how my brain processes the information ”

Kisha Andrews (UK)

Hello Tamkara, I enjoyed the lesson with Brenda because it was fun and interactive. As an English Language and French teacher, I know that repetition and patience are very important when studying and attempting to acquire a new language. Brenda is a good teacher because she was patient, reminded me to repeat the vocabulary and phrases, and provided praise when I was able to pronounce each word correctly. The Power point format used during her lesson was well organized and easy to follow.

M.B (U.S.A)

Yeah it was a really good lesson! For feedback, I would say I liked how he broke things down and was very patient with the fact that I’m a beginner. It was just the first lesson so hopefully as we go along I can learn more about how to structure sentences in Igbo. But overall, it was really good and helpful and I’m excited to learn more :)

T.O

The lesson and instructor were very well organized. I appreciated the fact that the instructor was from a country where the language being taught is widely used. I also liked the structure of the lesson, the instructor was able to teach me new things while still making it fun and engaging. I learned so much information in a small amount of time which really peaked my interest and made me want to come back for more. I enjoyed the instructor going through the geography and culture of the language and seeing how it is utilized in different areas. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to everyone I know!
