Language is an integral part of culture and I want to help people feel confident in their connection to their Yoruba identity by helping them improve their spoken Yoruba. Do you currently feel self-conscious when speaking Yoruba to family and friends? Do you desperately want to improve your pronunciation? Are you in or intend to travel to Nigeria in the near future and want to arm yourself to speak to extended family and perhaps the sellers in the local market? And do you prefer learning with a teacher who is patient, encouraging and supportive? I am Mojisola, a 32-year-old Yoruba native from Lagos. I enjoy meeting new people, writing and watching movies. I have taught Yoruba to persons from all across the world - starting from Sam, an Indian American friend of my brother's who moved to Nigeria in 2017 - and have experience teaching all ages. I have been a professional teacher since 2015, teaching people of all ages. Whether you are new to the Yoruba language and are a total beginner, or you are looking to gain confidence with your conversation skills, I am here to work with you, at your pace, and in as much time as you need.

The perfect teacher! I was a little worried about starting Yoruba lessons, but the teacher is so patient, clear, and helpful that I don't feel intimidated or nervous. She makes the lessons fun, and she goes over what I'm learning as much as I need. Thank you!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mojisola is an exceptional Yoruba teacher — truly one of the best! Learning Yoruba with Mojisola has been a wonderful experience. Her knowledge, patience, warmth, and genuine passion for teaching make every lesson enjoyable and productive. With over 5,064 lessons taught, more than 700 students, and a perfect 5.0 rating, her remarkable record speaks for itself—and after learning with her, I completely understand why. Mojisola explains difficult concepts clearly, corrects pronunciation with kindness, and tailors each lesson to the student’s level and goals. What I appreciate most is that I’m not simply memorizing words; I’m gaining confidence in speaking Yoruba while developing a deeper appreciation for the language and culture. Every lesson feels thoughtful, engaging, and worthwhile. I highly recommend Mojisola to anyone who wants to learn Yoruba. Her dedication, professionalism, and ability to inspire confidence truly set her apart. Ẹ ṣé púpọ̀!
