Bonjour! Ị dịkwa mma? I’m Oduko—your guide to French fluency and Igbo cultural connection! As a certified DELF/DALF examiner (CLA Besançon, France) and native Igbo speaker, I blend 10+ years of expertise with a love for music, history, and storytelling. Whether you’re acing exams, reconnecting with Igbo roots, or learning as a family, my lessons are vibrant journeys—think exam hacks, folktales, and Afro-French fusion playlists! Let’s make every word count. À bientôt!Me as a Teacher
Teaching and learning is a way of life that demands patience, perseverance, care, humility, honesty, open-mindedness and understanding. Teaching a language even demands more and it's not something one just starts doing spontaneously, it's something that has to be there somehow, it has to be nurtured. This is what I have carried and nurtured in me for a long time and it is that which defines me. My lessons & teaching style
I like to transform my lessons into an immersion programme, so from the very first minute I teach using the target language with of course effective demonstration. I use the modern foreign language curriculum as a guide. I also use images, questioning technique and authentic materials (video clips,songs, newspapers etc). Usually on the eve of the session I would send a brief explanation (pragmatic and linguistics objectives, lesson plan and keywords) of the lesson to the learner but in the learner’s language. To help the learner grow in confidence I do role plays and also let the learner teach in a flipped-class setting. Every lesson has both a final task and a plenary.My teaching material

Teacher was punctual and very supportive! Even though I wasn’t confident in speaking Igbo He Made me feel comfortable with speaking and helpful in correcting me. This was just my trial lesson but I’m excited to learn more.

Very enjoyable lesson, during which I got a good overiew of the alphabet and sound system, an idea of what we would do going forward as well as direction on how I can structure my time in between classes. The teacher is very knowledgeable about the Igbo language and language learning more generally, and seems to have a lot of passion for teaching. It clearly came through in the way he structured the lesson. Daalụ Mazi Oduko!
