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.
Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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.

I’ve really enjoyed my classes with Jacob. I’m a complete beginner and have been learning so much from him. His explanations are always helpful and easy to understand. He’s very patient and encouraging. The classes are a lot of fun and I look forward to them every week

Jacob is such a great teacher! He's always encouraging me to do my best and always giving me positive feedback. He always makes sure I talk a lot in Swahili so much so that after only one year of weekly classes with him I can now hold a conversation in Swahili
