My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style relies mostly on the specific students interest. As your tutor, I can help you become confident not just in the Swahili language but also with the social skills that go along with successful communication. I love to make my students feel special and value to their lesson and I can teach students of all levels. I will always be available whenever my students have any questions with Swahili terms and will be willing to help at all times. I love to give notes after teaching a topic for my students to have better reference materials for their practice . You will also get to do a test or quiz after topics just to examine yourself. Let us meet in class and have fun learning😊

Teacher’s pick
I am pleased to write this recommendation for my Swahili language teacher Jacinta Siago, who has made a significant impact on my language learning journey. Her dedication, patience, and passion for teaching have not only helped me build a strong foundation in Swahili, but also deepened my appreciation for East African culture and communication.
What sets this teacher apart is their ability to make complex concepts easy to understand, always taking the time to explain grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in a clear and engaging way. Lessons are well-organized and interactive.
I wholeheartedly recommend my Swahili teacher to anyone interested in learning the language. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and commitment to student success are truly inspiring.

I've been taking Swahili lessons with Jacinta for over a year now and she's such a GREAT teacher! She's fun, reliable, patient, and very encouraging. Not only does she teach Swahili so well, but she also always makes sure to inform you about various cultures and traditions in Kenya. I highly recommend her! Asante sana mwalimu Jacinta ^^

I have been working with Jacinta for several months. She has been an EXCELLENT instructor, and I highly recommend her! In fact, I was in Kenya for a week, and after only a few months of her lessons, I was having conversations in Swahili. My Swahili was highly complemented-- which I would attribute to her teaching.
