I just had my first Swahili class with Joshua, and it was a great experience. He has a really positive energy, is very patient, and makes you feel encouraged every step of the way. I left the lesson feeling even more motivated to keep studying Swahili. Highly recommend!

Joshua ni mwalimu mzuri sana. Tulizungumza kwa Kiswahili kwa muda wote na aliweza kunisaidia niliposahau neno. Aliweza kubadilisha mafundisho yake kulingana na kiwanja chake pia. Alinisaidia sana na ningependekeza kwamba upange wakati wa kusoma naye. / Joshua is a very good teacher. We spoke in Swahili the whole time and he was able to help me whenever I forgot a word. He was able to change his teaching according to my level as well. He is very helpful and I would recommend booking a lesson and studying with him.

There are serious connection problems which distrub the lesson, so we loose precious time when connection is cut and it takes time to restore it. .

Joshua is a very nice teacher, he's got friendly manners and he is easy to work with. Since day first, he was able to understand what my Kiswahili learning needs and goals are and he is customizing the lessons according to them. Definitely enjoying the lessons!

As I am a language teacher myself, I want explanations about the structure of the language, so between ordinary lessons based on a text, I have always many questions on points I dont understand which were in the texts we read. And teacher is enthusiastic of this kind of learning a language.
