Jambo! Karibu sana.
Do you wish to learn and improve your Swahili speaking and comprehension skills? I am a native Swahili speaker from Kenya. I am also experienced in tutoring for primary school and college students. I can customize the lessons based on the students' requirements.

I am used to working with people of different races, ages, and language. I believe in segmentation, visualization of progress, objective results, and practice.

Beyond these general lines, there is no rule or magic method with my style of tutoring. Some things work with some students and not with others. Adapting to needs is the goal of my private online lessons. So I will do my best to find what motivates and helps my students.

I speak Spanish at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
