Madame Dorothy is an excellent teacher! She is very patient and helps encourage you to improve your language skills. She is also very professional and has prepared materials for every class. I look forward to coming to every class, and I expect to reach the fluency level I desire with her help!

Another informative, interesting and interactive lesson under my belt. Ms. Dorathy's methodology has made Igbo language learning tangible for me which I never thought possible. Cheers to continued progress!

I had a very good introductory lesson about teaching styles and some basic vocabulary, there were some network problems with the italki platform,so we had to switch to Google meet but a good lesson nonetheless.
