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.

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.

Today's lesson with Jacinta was again a lot of fun. I learned to say "Mbuzi anapiga mbizi" and I found out that Jacinta is a gifted singer. 🎤
Our lessons are still a bit English heavy since we are translating a simple dialogue into Swahili but this way I feel that I am acquiring the language in a more intense setting and later when we speak I utter my words with more confidence. I really appreciate how Jacinta guides me through this process and step by step brings me closer to a conversational level.
