Your child still has
their French.
They just need someone who sounds like home to bring it back. Online classes taught by native African teachers.
Free to start. No commitment. Works anywhere.
"Has your child started
replying in English?"
It starts small. One word here. One sentence there. Then one day you notice — your child can’t finish a full conversation in French anymore.
They understand everything you say. But the words don’t come back the way they used to.
This happens to thousands of African children every year. In Canada. In the UK. In the US. Everywhere.
The world speaks English. French gets pushed aside — slowly, quietly, without anyone choosing it.
It’s not their fault. And it’s not yours either.
You’re in the right place.
"Your child doesn't
need to learn French.
They need to remember it."
Most language apps and tutors are built for beginners. They treat your child like a stranger to their own culture.
Your child is different. They already have French inside them. They grew up with the sounds, the rhythms, and the soul of the language.
What they need is not a textbook. They need someone who speaks their French. The real one. The one that sounds like home.
That is exactly what Akili Academy gives them.
Three simple steps.

talking
Twice a week. Online. Relaxed conversations in French — stories, games, real talk. Nothing like school.
Akili is for African children —
anywhere in the world.
"My child is losing
their French abroad"
They moved to an English-speaking country and French is fading. You want them to stay connected — to your language, your culture, your family back home.
"My child needs to
get stronger in French"
They live in Africa and their French is okay. But you want more than okay. You want confidence, fluency, and a real future advantage.

If your child is African and French matters to their future — Akili is for them.

Your child speaks French.
But you know
they can do better.
Their grades are okay. Their teacher says they are fine.
But fine is not what you had in mind for them.
You want them to walk into a room and speak with real confidence. Not average. Not just enough to pass.
Better schools. Better opportunities. Better rooms.
Because you know what opens for a child who speaks French with strength.
The difference between a child who speaks French
and a child who speaks French well
is one good teacher.
Most schools are doing their best. But classrooms are crowded. Teachers are stretched. Your child gets a fraction of the attention they actually need.
One focused teacher. Twice a week. Speaking directly to your child in the French they need to grow in.
Not more homework. Not more pressure. Just the right person giving the right attention.
Why Akili?
Akili is a Swahili word.
It means intelligence. Knowledge. Wisdom.
Swahili belongs to no single country. It belongs to the continent. We chose it because that is exactly what we are building.
Not a tutoring service. Not a language app.
A home.
A place where African children grow in knowledge — while staying rooted in who they are.

Akili. Because knowledge should stay with you —
wherever you go.
What families are saying.
“We were losing the battle with English. My son started answering me in English exclusively. After three weeks with Akili, he’s finally finding his French ‘voice’ again. It feels like home is back in our living room.”
“In school, the classes are too big for real conversation. Akili gave my daughter the one thing she lacked: the confidence to speak. She doesn’t just pass French anymore—she masters it.”
Be part of our first cohort. We reserved this space for the families we serve.
“Living in New York, everything is fast and everything is English. I was worried my kids would lose their connection to our heritage. Akili doesn’t just teach them words; it connects them with a teacher who understands our roots. It’s the highlight of their week.”
“In Canada, we are surrounded by French, but it’s not ‘our’ French. Akili found us a teacher from Senegal who speaks with the same warmth my parents do. My daughter’s confidence has tripled. She finally feels like she belongs to both worlds.”
“Even in Europe, the school system can feel cold. Akili provides that ‘village’ feel we were missing. The focus is on storytelling and real conversation. It’s the best investment we’ve made for our children’s future identity.”
Two different children.
One place built for both of them.
Your child's French is not gone. It is waiting.
Every week you wait, the gap gets a little wider. Today the window is still open.
Your child has more in them than their current French shows.
One good teacher twice a week can change that completely. Start giving them the strength they deserve.
