    Wolof classes for beginners and Intermediates. Learn to speak and understand Wolof language.

    Wolof is the most spoken language in Senegal and Gambia. I've designed the course for people who would like to learn to speak wolof either for family reasons or traveling.

    In this course you will learn to speak Wolof in basic everyday settings, grammar and depending on your goals we can dig deeper in the language.

    I have background in linguistics and have experience in teaching languages. I have my Master's degree in African studies and have studied Wolof language for one year intensively as a part of my Bachelor's degree.

    I have also family background in Gambia, and currently living in Gambia. I am not a native speaker but learned Wolof as my second language since child. I can offer help in understanding the language and reach a certain level. I will be teaching the Wolof spoken in Gambia.

    About Me

    I am a kind and patient teacher who wants to make language learning fun and relaxed.
    I design my classes according to the student's needs and learning ways.

    My native language is Finnish and I learned Wolof as my second language, because of my background. I have concluded one year intensive Wolof studies as a part of my Bachelor's degree. Currently I am living in Gambia and speaking Wolof daily. Obviously, I cannot offer you a native level understanding of the language, but I can teach you the structure and grammar of the language.

    My goal as a teacher is to help students to become courageous in using the language they are learning and to have the tools to keep learning the language. My main goal is to help you to reach a goal where you can have conversations in Wolof. Repetition and conversation will play a big part in my classes.

    As my academic background lies in linguistics and African studies, I want to engage the culture in the language learning. Understanding the culture will help us to understand the language as well, I believe they go hand in hand.

    As I live in Gambia and have a Gambian background, I will be teaching Gambian Wolof.

    Education

    African studies, Master's degree. A one year intensive wolof program as a part of my Bachelor's degree.
    University of Helsinki, one year wolof program Institute National des Langues orientates, Inalco (Paris)

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have experience in teaching languages for kids and adults, mainly Finnish and French. My background lies in Linguistic, especially sociolinguistics. Wolof I have only taught informally, but am enthusiastic to start this journey!

    Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
    For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

    Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

    Private Ukrainian lessons. LEARN UKRAINIAN EASILY WITH ME. "Unlock the World: Elevate Your Life with Ukrainian Language Lessons!"
    As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education. I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love. My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education. I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.
