Community tutor with over 8 years of experience, teaching children and adults. Murakaza neza! I'm Odile Mbabazi Ntakiyimana, a native Kinyarwanda speaker from Kigali, Rwanda, with over 8 years of teaching experience and a Bachelor's degree in Mass Media and Communication. I work with three kinds of learners most often: diaspora Rwandans reconnecting with the language of home, NGO and development workers preparing to live and work in Rwanda, and travelers who want more than survival phrases before their trip. Whichever group you're in, I build lessons around what you'll actually use, real conversations, cultural context, and the specific vocabulary your situation calls for. My lessons combine structure with flexibility: clear objectives each session, real teaching materials (PDFs, audio, quizzes, homework), and a pace that adjusts to you. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, and I bring Rwandan culture into every lesson so the language makes sense in context, not just in isolation. Book a trial and let's figure out exactly what you need, whether that's your first "muraho" or confidently navigating noun classes.

Very interesting lesson. I'm learning something new each time, and I have lots of challenging homework, which is great.

Another great lesson with Odile! I requested studying noun classes, and she was very thorough with her lesson planning. I'm looking forward to learning more on this in future classes! Thank you Odile!

Odile is a very nice instructor. She has a clear lesson plan and objective. The pace is fast, but she is very patient and slows down when I need it. Looking forward to improving with her as my teacher.
