I just had my first lesson! He is extremely patient and we went over a lot in just 45 minutes. I definitely recommend him if you want to learn Kiswahili.

Great class! Just from one class I can tell Humphrey has a lot of tutoring experience. With the broad answer I gave him prior to class regarding my goals, he managed to put on a great class tailored to me. I will be booking more.

Humphrey showed great dedication throughout my trial lesson. I really appreciated their calm and patient approach, which made the learning environment comfortable and engaging, using also interactive exercises, which helped clarify complex topics. The lesson was well-structured, with clear objectives and a logical progression. Overall, the tutor was reliable, thoughtful, and inspiring. I would definitely recommend his classes to anyone looking for a supportive and effective learning experience.
