About Me
italki teacher since Mar 11, 2020InterestsMusicFoodFilms & TV SeriesHistoryTravel
As a certified language instructor from Congo Kinshasa, now based in the USA, I bring over six years of experience teaching French, Lingala, and Swahili to learners worldwide. For me, language is a bridge to connection, culture, and confidence. My mission is to create a supportive, inclusive environment where every student feels empowered to speak without fear. Whether you’re a beginner or advancing your skills, I’m here to guide you to fluency with clarity and encouragement.Me as a Teacher
Students describe my classes as welcoming, engaging, and transformative. I tailor every lesson to your unique goals, learning style, and story—whether you’re studying for exams, travel, career, or personal enrichment. My calm, supportive approach creates a safe space to learn, while my focused challenges push you to grow. With fluency in English, I make complex concepts clear for English-speaking learners, ensuring you feel confident and inspired.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons blend structure, creativity, and real-world application to make language learning feel natural and exciting. We’ll master grammar and pronunciation while diving into authentic conversations, cultural insights, and everyday scenarios. Using music, stories, humor, and your personal interests, I craft lessons that resonate. You’ll leave each session not just understanding French, Lingala, or Swahili, but living it.My teaching material

I had my first lesson with Joel for Lingala. He is very personable, so we had a very relaxed lesson, yet still effective, and I learned things I hadn't read about in the meager learning resources available that exist for Lingala in English. Of course as a native Lingala speaker, Joel helped me with my intonation and stress when pronouncing words, correcting me to help me achieve a more native sound (albeit I'm far from it now). I plan to continue my Lingala studies with Joel, who I believe can help me achieve my goals in the language.
