Before anything, I'm a human being lol. If you are looking for a patient teacher who will stay with you on the language for long, then look no further. I am a passion- driven individual who believes in learning, unlearning and relearning. A beam of sunlight that loves interacting with people. With others is where my heart resides. I love giving a hand where need be. Nonetheless, I love culture and the richness in it.
I am an International Relations graduate (with a minor in Criminal Justice). I teach on italki part time, for the love of languages and culture.
Me as a Teacher
I love to humanize the learning process by using day to day examples so that the student is able to relate with the discussions.

-Time conscious

My lessons & teaching style
Since the true goal of learning a language is communication, my classes are lively and interactive, with a focus on speaking and listening skills. However, this does not imply that you do not need to study grammatical rules, or that I will not explain grammar ideas to you in English if necessary. I aim to incorporate issues that are relevant to my students' daily lives. I use my own content, as well as songs and snippets. I feel that humour and consistency are the keys to learning a language.

Miss Akoth is a great teacher. She is incredibly patient and kind. She creates a supportive environment where it's okay to make mistakes, and she always takes time to explain things clearly. Her calm, encouraging approach makes learning enjoyable and motivating. I always look forward to her lessons and feel I am making progress.
