If you're looking for a teacher who brings real-life insights, positive energy, and genuine connection into every lesson, you're in the right place. Let's learn, grow, and be inspired together!
Hello you can call me Hosi, Sia or Hosiana! I'm a happy soul living in Africa, Tanzania. I love meaningful conversationsāwhether it's about the philosophy of life, culture and people, or practical topics like real estate, business, technology, and employment. I'm always curious and eager to explore how we can create hope, not just for ourselves but for the whole world.Me as a Teacher
Swahili is one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa ā especially across East Africa ā and Iāve had the joy of teaching it for over 6 years, both part-time and full-time. One thing Iāve learned? No two students learn the same way! Thatās what makes teaching so exciting. I love creating a relaxed space where my students can speak as naturally as possible ā no pressure, just good vibes and steady progress. Itās all about feeling confident and having fun while learning!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are all about lively, open conversations between me and my student(s). We donāt just stick to the script ā we chat, we laugh, and we practice together throughout the session to make sure everything clicks. I know learning a new language can feel overwhelming, so I keep things light and interactive to make sure you're not just learning, but actually enjoying the journey. To make things even more fun (and memorable!), I bring in pictures, songs, and real-life objects to help the language come alive. Itās learning by doing ā and it works!My teaching material

Had my first lesson with Hosiana and I can't wait for the next. I love her approach in building up conversational skills while providing cultural context. She is warm, encouraging, and well-prepared
