Naomi fletcher

Founding Director

Naomi Fletcher is a British born Ghanaian. As a child she was exposed to Ghanaian culture constantly through food, attire and cultural practices, however as she grew up it became more evident to her that something was missing – it was her understanding and ability to speak the Twi language. After years of searching for somewhere to learn, Naomi, with the help of Ben and their family, decided to be the change they wanted to see. Starting The Ghanaian Language School in 2009 gave Naomi & Ben the opportunity to use their combined years of corporate experience, coupled with their passion for the preservation of Ghanaian language and culture to provide a school of excellence.

In addition to running the Ghanaian Language School Naomi also works on cultural projects under their umbrella company Neo Native Limited. She also teams up with Ghanaian organisations in the community to help preserve and promote Ghanaian heritage.

Naomi often visits the classroom giving much needed tips and clarification to our students.
