about us

We draw inspiration from a popular proverbial phrase that teaches us what to do when life throws us lemons, as it encourages optimism, resourcefulness and resilience in difficult situations. Here at The Lemon Tree, we are dedicated to fostering a positive and enriching educational experience aiming to nurture critical thinking, creativity and a sense of curiosity in each student- young and old. And while we won’t be adding the proverbial vodka or making juice or squirting someone in the eye, we embrace an all encompassing approach to language learning, be it through tried and tested game-play , group projects, specialised classes, dramatic role-play, camps, workshops and outdoor explorations, students actively participate in the learning process.

Learning a is a life-long journey and we are committed to fostering interest in culture and foreign language, which ultimately nurtures a growth mindset and encourages resilience. To that end, we love celebrating achievements, big and small.

Our game shelf is a curated selection from a large inventory, cherry-picked to make sure everyone is having fun and interacting solely through the use of the English Language.

At Lemon Tree, we believe in the transformative power of play. Board games are a portal to creativity, critical thinking and endless possibilities, and our school is a vibrant community where passion for boardgames meets comprehensive education, fostering the next generation of strategists and enthusiasts.

Meet me

Hi! I’m Yomi.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the Internet where all my passions come together. I am a Nigerian living in Slovenia. With a total of 10 years’ teaching experience here and abroad, I am passionate about children and dedicated to fostering a positive and enriching educational experience.

In addition to instructing at the Lemon Tree, I can be found lurking on Pinterest boards, trying out new recipes, crafting, putting outfits together, dabbling in photography, testing new games with my son, and shamelessly chasing the sun.

"Hello! I love The Lemon Tree. We normally speak English at Lemon Tree. Our teacher's name is Yomi and she is the best! We learn with board games too 😉 She has a lot of board games. Yomi uses all her power to teach us English."
