Wo ho te sɛn? (How are you?) I’m Dacosta, a Ghanaian Twi and English teacher with 12+ years of experience helping students speak confidently! As a certified educator and psychologist (MPhil, BA Psychology), I specialized in making language learning practical, fun, and tailored to your goals—whether you’re a beginner mastering basics or an advanced learner diving into Twi proverbs. Born into the Ashanti culture and fluent in Twi/Fante, I blend cultural insights with structured lessons (flashcards, audio notes, and real-life examples!).

Dacosta was very patient during our class. He is very flexible to his students' needs. I am a heritage speaker of the language, so he was able to teach me without speaking English, therefore I received full immersion. During our class, Dacosta was able to provide explanations that many native speakers are not capable of explaining properly. I feel confident that he will be able to assist me with reaching my language goals.
Looking forward to the next class!
