Meet the Founder
Dr Chiemeriwo Godday
Founder & Igbo Language Educator, Igbo language classes
I created Emeriwo Igbo Academy because I believe our language is an important part of who we are and something worth passing on to the next generation.
I am particularly passionate about helping children in the diaspora develop a connection with Igbo language and culture in a way that feels natural, enjoyable and relevant to their everyday lives.
Through Emeriwo Igbo Academy, my vision is to build more than just a language school. I want to create a learning community where children, young people and adults can learn Igbo, practise speaking it and develop greater appreciation for their heritage.
Our vision is simple:
Learn Igbo. Speak Igbo. Live Igbo.
My Story
I witnessed diaspora children standing silent at gatherings, unable to grasp the rich Igbo conversations around them, while parents struggled to convey deep emotional values or discipline through English alone. This cultural gap moved me to start teaching Igbo intentionally within my own home. Today, my children converse with joy, understanding everyday commands like “mechie onu, bia eba, kwusi ugbua.” They no longer feel like outsiders; they are rooted, connected, and eager to visit Nigeria. Your children can also bridge this gap, turning a strange land into a true home through the power of our mother tongue. If you want this for your children too, start by booking a free Igbo assessment session with us today.
Learn at the Right Level
Our lessons are designed around the learner's age and stage, helping children, teenagers and adults learn at a comfortable pace.
Age-Appropriate Learning
Build Real Confidence
We focus on practical communication. Learners gradually move from hearing and repeating words to using simple Igbo expressions and sentences with confidence.
Hear It. Speak It. Use It.
Learn through Engagement
Our learners experience Igbo through songs, games, stories, movement and interactive activities that make language learning enjoyable and memorable.
