About Me
italki teacher since Feb 19, 2022Interest topicBusiness & FinanceFilms & TV SeriesTravel
Hey, I’m Abu from Johannesburg, South Africa but I’m originally from Mali through my father. I started teaching on italki because I have a strong passion for working on the internet and one of the ways I can do that is by helping people improve their language skills here on italki. After working in a few jobs and even at a language center, I decided that creating a path for myself online is the best choice and I’ve been happy ever since I started.
I’m very determined and I love challenges, especially those that make me a better person. Since I started, I’ve had over 1000 hours of lesson time, tutoring students from 50 different countries around the world.Me as a Teacher
I'm tolerant, patient, and understanding and I think these qualities are needed to teach something to someone else.
These qualities allow the student to be relaxed and comfortable during the lesson which is very important for learning.
I have a clear South African accent that is easy to understand. Depending on the level of the student, I speak at a comprehensible pace.
I know three languages: English, French and Turkish
I also love interacting with other people, having good conversations, and learning about their countries and cultures because I think it’s beneficial for me.
Ever since my first lesson on italki I’ve learnt about so many things which enables me to be more open-minded.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are shaped to your needs.
Whether you are looking for a guide, a fair exchange, or just someone to listen to and correct your mistakes, I’m your guy!
For my conversation classes, I have two main ways of conducting my lessons: either through a question-and-answer process based on a specific topic or with a text that we use to extract information and use as a guide for our discussions.
Whether you are learning English for work or travel, we can work on topics and use materials that best suit you.
I offer material to help along your English learning journey as well as helpful feedback and corrections.
My topics are suitable for all levels.My teaching material

I highly recommend Abu to both beginners and advanced students. He's great to talk to about anything, from AI and startups to social life and everyday topics. If you're shy, Abu will help you start the conversation, and if you're already comfortable, he's a great conversation partner. Don't hesitate to give it a try!
