Let's break the monotony and talk some more as we learn. Karibuni! If you’re looking for a patient teacher who’s in it for the long run, you’re in the right place! I’m a language tutor who believes learning is a continuous process of learning, unlearning, and relearning. I love connecting with people and exploring different cultures, which naturally shapes how I teach. I hold a degree in International Relations, with a minor in Criminal Justice, and teach Swahili, Luo, and English out of my love for languages and cultural exchange. Whether you're relocating to Kenya, working with an international organization, preparing for a mission, working in law, or simply looking to connect more meaningfully with the people around you, I'd love to help you make language part of your everyday life. My classes are lively and interactive, with a focus on speaking and listening. I use day-to-day examples, my own materials, songs, and snippets to make learning relatable. Grammar matters too, and I'll explain it in English whenever necessary. Because no two learners have the same goals, we'll tailor our lessons to your world, from everyday conversations and professional interactions to learning Swahili the Kenyan way if you want to sound more like a local! Think of it as language learning with a little cultural insight and an international perspective. 😊 I believe humour, patience, and consistency are key to learning a language. Karibu!

Akoth is a great teacher, in only a few weeks, my level of Swahili has improved considerably. She prepares classes so that you learn swahili bit by bit, with the most useful sentences adapted to your context and needs. She is rigorous yet very sweet and patient (even when she has to repeat the same a million times to me ;), a perfect combination to learn a language.
