Hello everyone!
My name is Awa. I am deeply passionate about the brain, learning languages, and teaching them. I am fluent in Wolof, French, and English and proficient in Spanish. Currently, I am delving into German, Russian, Arabic, and Mandarin. Learning a new language doesn't have to be boring—it's a life-changing skill. We develop a unique personality in each language we learn, broadening our perspectives on the world, and other cultures and societies. I love traveling and am always ready for the next adventure. I am eager to learn about your journey that led you to Italki!
Me as a Teacher
With years of teaching languages to kids and adults under my belt, I've learned what works best. My teaching methods are based on how our memory works and lessons I've learned from my own language-learning experiences. Instead of focusing on memorizing vocabulary lists, I say LET'S START SPEAKING FROM DAY 1! Unlike typical classes that stress too much on grammar and writing, I put the spotlight on improving speaking and listening skills. My goal is to share my love of languages with you and help you meet your language goals. Cheers!
My lessons & teaching style
TWO KEY PRINCIPLES: EXPOSURE and ASSOCIATION
My approach to teaching deviates from the conventional classroom style which, in my experience, can often be dull. Instead, I aim to immerse you in the language you're learning, introducing EXPOSURE from DAY 1. This immersion is achieved by connecting new words and phrases with familiar elements in your environment, crafting CONVERSATION naturally and seamlessly. I'm also a big believer in adaptability and will tailor my teaching style to your specific needs and suggestions, ensuring you have the most effective learning experience.

Today Awa brought a guest to class to encourage dialogue. This pushed me to answer questions and ask questions to someone new. It also allowed me to hear a different accent and adapt to hearing a different speed. Thank you Awa for always challenging me on the road to conversational fluency.

I'm really happy with my Wolof classes with Awa 😊 While she provides material in very nicely manageable chunks, I feel like I've learnt a lot in a short time. Awa always finds different ways for me to practice the language and explains grammar in a precise & clear way 😊 Wolof might seem quite impossible with the lack of material, so I'm really grateful for all the work Awa does & hopeful about actually speaking the language in the future 💖

Awa is a wonderful teacher. She meets you right where you are and takes it from there. Highly educated, very gifted instructor. I enjoyed my first lesson with her and learned an enormous amount. I am certain that Ama can take things at a slower pace whenever needed, but I requested an intense lesson and she delivered superbly. Fastastic teacher for all levels. Lovely personality.

Awa is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She consistently provides great material and can fit a wide breadth of information into even a brief lesson. Her experience in the field of language instruction clearly shows. I'm looking forward to the next lesson! Thank you Awa!
