Why learners stay
A method that gets you speaking, not memorising
Most people who give up on a language gave up on a course, not on themselves. Our lessons are built around the situations you actually face, and around your voice from the very first session.
- Immersion from lesson one. You begin using Hausa immediately, with English used only as scaffolding when you need it.
- Pronunciation and tone, handled properly. Hausa sounds and tonal patterns are trained deliberately so you are understood the first time.
- Real-life role play. Negotiating a price, greeting a family, briefing a driver, chairing a meeting — rehearsed before you need it.
- Culture alongside grammar. Respect, greetings, proverbs and etiquette are part of the curriculum, because language alone is not enough.
- Materials you keep. Lesson notes, recordings and vocabulary lists stay with you after each session.

What learners and clients say
Unedited feedback from people who came to us to learn, translate or produce.
I’m an American business executive in Nigeria. Sa’adiya at Executive Hausa Tutors has been teaching me regularly for several months. She is an outstanding Hausa language instructor, from grammar to vocabulary and pronunciation to speaking and comprehension. Sa’adiya also helps me to better understand the cultural implications of the Hausa language in everyday life. I would recommend Sa’adiya/Executive Hausa Tutors without hesitation.

Malama Sa’adiya is the best Hausa teacher! Systematically and step by step, I can learn from haruffofin Hausa (Hausa alphabet) to essential basic expressions. Her preparation for the lesson, immediate feedback, and professionalism encourages me to go further.

Mallama Sa’adiya is amazing! I enjoy her classes very much. I am learning a lot and she is wonderful with setting a pace that I can follow. She is great with customising lessons so that I can use what I learn in my daily life. We have fun while learning. Na gode Mallama!
Miyette Williams
You have made my decision to be a polyglot such an interesting and rewarding one. Mallama explains properly and has so much patience with her dalibai. I am sure all her students have nothing but praise for her professionalism and skills as a tutor.
Binta Zia
Watched your stories yesterday and wanted to say congrats for your professional journey, I wish more women in the North could pave the way this way for the younger ones who need positive, inspiring and empowering role models to look up to. Malama, happy teacher’s day! Your passion for teaching and your commitment to your students never go unnoticed. Can’t wait to resume classes, by January inshallah.
Lucrezia
It’s my Malama’s birthday ooo, U see d small Hausa Language wey I hear, na from her oo! Back story: I joined her academy just to spite my husband as that one speaks fluent Hausa and I got jealous but then she got me so interested that I eventually started learning for myself, you want to speak Hausa like a native? Reach out for her contact.
