Jambo! I’m a certified ESL teacher from Kenya with a passion for making language learning lively and practical. Whether you’re preparing for business, traveling to East Africa, or want fun lessons for your kids, I specialize in Business English, conversational Swahili, and interactive kids’ classes. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me exploring new cultures (and foods!)—let’s turn your mistakes into confidence together. Karibu sana!"Me as a Teacher
I have volunteered and taught children & teenagers in schools and churches. I also do consulting for a business, where I interact with local & international customers. As a teacher I understand that in a language learning journey there will be lots of mistakes, but I embrace mistakes as part of learning. I look forward to having all my students speaking confidently! My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are mostly conversational with lots of practice. I get to focus on your progress through listening to how you present yourself ang give feedback on what has been successfully accomplished, as well as what you need to work on.My teaching material

Teaching experience

Community TutorOver the past 3 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching English & Swahili as a second language to students of various ages and proficiency levels. I have developed and implemented engaging lesson plans that focus on both language skills and cultural understanding. I'm excited when I see my students attain their goals and incorporate language learning in their day to day activities.
