Throughout this journey, I’ve learned that every student has unique needs, learning styles, and challenges.

Ninapenda Mary! We only had a week and four sessions but she really helped me prepare for my trip to Kenya and Tanzania! I learned essential words and phrases and we roll played. I did study Swahili grammar prior to our meeting and she helped me get over the scaries and just SPEAK. Her personality is wonderful and easy to get along with. She is knowledgeable in language and grammar and very easy to understand. I use italki for all my languages and I highly recommend Mary!
