I had another excellent class with Mwalimu Grace. She is a lovely person, very professional, and always comes to class very well prepared with exercises and material tailored to her students' learning needs. For example today, she prepared a level-appropriate story for me to read in Swahili and I was able to work on my oral comprehension, speaking and negating verbs, which has been a significant challenge for me. I felt more confident in my ability to negate verbs after our class, thanks to her exercises. Asante sana kwa darasa la leo, Mwalimu Grace. Ninashukuru sana kwa kazi yako.

Great lesson with Grace! We did a review of the m/wa noun class. After that, we learned about the ki/vi noun class. Grace explained how the subject influences the other parts of the sentence, and also how there are some ch/vy words that are also part of the ki/vi noun class. Grace makes the ideas easy to understand and is always calm and reassuring!

Great lesson with Grace! We learned about the noun classes in Swahili. Grace explained the noun classes, and how the patterns work for making plural nouns. Grace also explained that adjectives and verbs change to match the subject. It was an important lesson. Grace's explanation was clear and helpful!

Mwalimu Grace is always punctual and so well prepared. We finished reading a story from last time, went over some reading comprehension questions, then moved on to watching a video about the Congo forest. It was very interesting.

Learned some great new vocabulary words today in Mwalimu Grace's class. We read another fable that has very proper Swahili. It was very interesting. For next time, we planned to wrap up this fable and then move on to watching a short video in Swahili on some interesting topic.

Another very well-organized and professional class given by Mwalimu Grace. As always, she arrives in our online classes very prepared with beautiful, level-appropriate presentations and notes catering to the needs and learning requests of her students. On top of that she is patient, encouraging and kind. Today we went through the negation of sentences, which is quite challenging for me, as well as tense markers and noun classes. I also learned some new, very useful words. Don't wait to book a lesson with her! Asante sana kwa darasa la leo, Mwalimu Grace, ninashukuru sana kazi yako!
