I like traveling✈️, sightseeing and meeting with people from different backgrounds. For 5 years I worked as a mountain guide and through this experience I enjoyed meeting people from around the world. I had the opportunity to teach them about the fauna and flora of the highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro, which I have climbed more than 20 times. I also enjoyed working as a Safari guide in the beautiful natural parks of Tanzania. I lived in Ghana for 2 and half years. Currently I live in United States. I love teaching and sharing with people what I know.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am a TESOL Certified English Tutor with over 10 years of experience teaching. What would you do if you came face to face with a leopard 🦁🐆? I can tell you.... because it happened to me. I would love to share my experiences as a safari guide and mountaineer while practicing your conversational Swahili or English. I can't wait to hear more about you. Talk with you soon.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My teaching style is friendly and conversational. I focus more on speaking and grammar. I believe that the more a student gets to practice the more confident he/she becomes.
Learning Swahili with Jacob has been an absolute joy! One of the best things about working with him is that he's based right here in the United States, which makes scheduling lessons incredibly convenient—especially after work. I never have to worry about time zone issues, and I always look forward to our sessions.
Jacob is a fantastic teacher who truly cares about your progress. He doesn’t just teach vocabulary—he pushes me to form complete sentences and actually use the language in real-world ways. His method of teaching through practical conversation and structured homework keeps me motivated and improving every week.
Thanks to Jacob, I’m gaining confidence in speaking and understanding Swahili, and I genuinely look forward to our lessons. He makes the learning process fun, encouraging, and challenging in the best way. If you're serious about learning Swahili, I can’t recommend Jacob enough!

Jacob is a great teacher. He starts the class with what you previously learned to reinforce what you have learned.

Had a great conversation with Jacob. He's very patient and adjusted his speaking to my level. He asked a lot of great questions to keep the conversation moving. He explained words that I didn't understand. Highly recommended.
