My lessons are joyful journeys where children discover English through play, culture, and creativity. As a trained teacher with TEFL 120 hours, I bring professional expertise together with warmth and imagination. Every class is designed to feel like a celebration—filled with stories, songs, and games that make language learning fun and memorable.

I weave African-inspired themes, festive traditions, and child-friendly activities into my lessons, so children not only learn English but also connect with cultural pride and global awareness. Whether we are singing together, solving puzzles, or acting out stories, children are encouraged to move, laugh, and express themselves freely. Lessons are interactive and sensory-friendly, affirming neurodivergent learners and ensuring that every child feels included and valued.

Content is carefully balanced to build listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, while also nurturing confidence and empathy. I use colorful worksheets, crafts, and storytelling cards that spark curiosity and keep children engaged. Parents can expect lessons that are structured yet playful, with clear goals and plenty of opportunities for children to shine.

With years of experience creating educational resources and guiding children, I understand how to adapt lessons to different ages and abilities. My teaching style is nurturing, festive, and dynamic—helping children grow not only as English learners but as joyful, confident communicators. In Shiko’s World, every lesson is a chance to celebrate learning, culture, and the bright potential of every child.
