Hi there, Akwaaba.
My name is Vida and I'm a professional teacher with more than twelve years of experience helping learners both home and abroad speak Twi with confidence and fluency. Born and raised in Kumasi, I have proven excellence and in-depth knowledge of the Twi language structure and Akan Culture. I believe everyone has the potential to learn, unlearn and relearn and so do you. Your goals are definitely reachable.

My teaching style is highly immersive, all inclusive and stress -free. This means I use a variety of materials like videos, audios, slides, cards etc. to help my learners learn the intricacies of the language which are only known to native Twi speakers.

🎯I have on goal: to patiently help you reach your desired level of proficiency as far as Twi speaking is concerned.
