As a tutor, I have come to discover that Swahili is more than just a language — it’s a gateway to culture, connection, and confidence. Whether you are learning for travel, work, relationships, or just curiosity, I’m here to walk the journey with you.
My mission is simple: to help you start speaking from day one and feel proud of every step you take. You don’t need to be perfect — you just need to start. I will help you turn confusion into clarity, and hesitation into real conversation.My lessons & teaching style
Whether you are starting from zero or want to take your conversational Swahili to the next level, I tailor each lesson to your unique goals, pace, and interests. I combine conversation practice, listening, grammar, and cultural insights to make the language come alive. Students tell me they appreciate my patience and clarity. My lessons are practical, engaging, and focused on real-life use.
Let’s work together to help you speak Swahili with confidence and enjoy every step of your learning journey!My teaching material

Very nice job!!!! We swapped roles and he allowed me to teach the content in the class as a review. As a teacher in American, this is an excellent pedagogy for teaching any subject! When students can teach the content they have mastery of the skills! Bravo!
