Meaning & Mission
In Yoruba, "Ó Ti Yá" means Let's Do This | Let's Go | "I Am Ready"
Whether a child or young person is facing a tough challenge, trying to meet a tight deadline, presenting their homework or facing an audience, we want to equip them that mindset and attitude, "O Ti Ya", "I Can Do This", "I Am Ready".
Modus & Approach
O Ti Ya has the primary goal of building confidence, boldness and public speaking skills of young people. Our approach utilises the confidence-building presentation-enhancing odds-defying components of the performing arts, blended with hands-on public speaking coaching. In line with our Tàn Mọ́lẹ̀ vision, this shall be accomplished through Yoruba arts and culture.
Our Faculty
From a PhD Scientist who specialises in personal development and leadership coaching to a Public Speaking Coach with 21 years experience, and from a Yoruba Lecturer and Music Director to a renowned Dancer and Educationist in African Arts, the Ó Ti Yá faculty offers the pedigree that would bring out the best in children and young people.
