Living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

An Enthusiastic young Ethiopian with over Five years of teaching experience. My name is Rakeb Debalkew. I am a 32 years old Ethiopian language enthusiast. I was born and raised here in Ethiopia, Addis Ababa. Amharic is my first language and my Native. I was raised in a democratic and free family that let me reflect my own color and identity. I see my parents and siblings in me, and they are the shiniest part of my identity. If any one asks me to answer the question "Who are you?" beyond my name, I would say that I am my family.

Some say that teaching is in my blood. On the first two to three years of my life after graduating from university, the first profession I have embarked on was teaching Spoken English. I remember my first class, it should have been terrifying but genuinely speaking my first class seemed like my hundredth. I stepped in a took control of the class room that is filled with students that were twice my age. I think nothing can better explain what I am like as a teacher than this first class story. I believe that God has given me a golden talent on the are of teaching. It is my true ambition, it is what I am! I intend on making my Amharic lessons as interactive as possible.

Rakeb is a very patient teacher. She is creative and can improvise the lessons which works well for my 5 year old.

Rakeb is an incredible teacher! I am Ethiopian born with intermediate speaking abilities, and have tried multiple tutors in the past ---- no one compares to Rakeb. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, detail oriented and truly feels like a teachers teacher. I've already learned so much about Amharic and the language as a broader system. She gives solid dynamic homework, discussion, guidance, and support during class. I look forward to our time together and I'm excited to continue to learn more from her. If you're considering working with Rakeb to improve your Amharic, don't hesitate!

Rakeb read my message that I sent before the lesson and tailored our approach to learning to my desires. I am confident that working with her will result in my achieving my learning goals.
