Mwalimu Tina is an exceptional teacher. She has self-designed a curriculum that she trusts, merging several sources. But she is also adaptable. She can pivot to focus on topics you want to discuss. Best of all, I feel that she truly cares about her students’ progress. She is the only language teacher I have ever had who keeps notes on each of your lessons, sends a written reminder of homework and has a WhatsApp group for you to connect with her other Swahili students. 👍🏼

Mwalimu Tina is perhaps the most dedicated swahili teacher on the platform right now. Her knowledge of what tools and methods adult learners need for learning a language have been more than helpful in my learning journey. She energetic and adaptive, and designs her lessons around the interests of her students. Highly recommended for any beginners in Swahili!

Mwalimu Tina is not only a knowledgeable and attentive teacher, but also a truly engaging conversation partner. She always supports discussions on topics that are interesting and relevant to me, which makes every lesson both enjoyable and valuable. I benefit not only from her clear explanations and guidance, but also from the opportunity to practice English through meaningful conversations. I highly recommend learning with her.

I have been taking English lessons with Mwalimu for a couple of weeks, and I have already seen a big improvement in my pronunciation and vocabulary. She is helpful , supportive, and explains things clearly. She has really helped me improve my English and become more confident when speaking. Since Swahili is my native language, I really appreciate her support. I highly recommend her!
