How it works

Twelve weeks, twice a week, in your own home.

Yorùbá at Home is the first programme from CLC. A trained tutor comes to your house twice a week for twelve weeks and teaches your child through song, story, play and real conversation.

You don’t need to speak Yorùbá. Most of our parents don’t — that is rather the point.

  1. 1 · A 15-minute conversation

    We talk about your child, your household and what you are hoping for. No payment, no obligation. This is also where we answer your questions about the programme and pricing.

  2. 2 · We match a tutor

    CLC assigns a vetted, trained tutor and agrees a twice-weekly schedule that fits around school and your household.

  3. 3 · Twelve weeks at home

    Sessions run in your home with a responsible adult present. Your child works through the Home Learning Kit and stamps their own Yorùbá Journey Passport as they go.

  4. 4 · You can see the progress

    A clear monthly progress update, weekly WhatsApp support so you can join in, and a milestone review at the halfway point.

In your living room

What your child actually does.

  • Sings

    Yorùbá songs and rhymes — including the ones your own parents may have sung to you.

  • Plays

    Games, movement, story-acting and market role-play.

  • Tastes and touches

    Food words learned through real food, not flashcards alone.

  • Talks

    Real conversation, with a tutor who comes to your home.

  • Remembers

    Prayers, proverbs and family Oríkì, carried from one generation to the next.

Who is in your home

You’re not hiring a stranger off an app.

CLC recruits, trains, background-checks and continuously reviews every tutor. You contract with CLC — not with the tutor — and CLC is who you come to if anything needs to change.

CLC does not offer childcare, babysitting, or unsupervised care.

  • We recruit and vet

    Every tutor is background-checked and trained by CLC before they ever reach a family.

  • We train and review

    Tutors are trained to teach through the performing arts, and are reviewed continuously — not once at hiring.

  • You deal with CLC

    One point of contact for scheduling, changes and concerns. If a match is not right, we change it.

  • An adult is always present

    A responsible adult stays at home throughout every session. CLC does not offer childcare, babysitting, or unsupervised care of any child.

Ask us about the programme and pricing on your consultation call.

The next step is a conversation, not a payment.
