About Me

**Para todos los hispanohablantes, yo hablo un poco de español. Por eso, si aprendes el suajili, soy un profesor perfecto para tí.**
My name is Xavery Mpombo. I was born and raised in Tanzania. I recently graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Sokoine University of Agriculture. I speak Swahili, English, and Ngoni (my ethnic language), and I’m also a student of the Spanish language. I love learning foreign languages and helping people with Swahili and English. I have been teaching Swahili and English to non-natives since 2018, and have learned so much about language learning and teaching, and how languages work. I happen to think that I’m open-minded, enthusiastic, and kind.Me as a Teacher
I can help you learn conversational Swahili and English as well as improve your conversational listening skills. I also have experience with structured classes and will create lessons specifically for you. I like making my classes friendlier for my students to feel like they’re talking to a friend while learning. More importantly, I respect everyone’s beliefs, religion, and opinions. I’m open to working with students of all levels and age groups and will try to be as flexible as I can to reflect our regional time differences and help those with a busy lifestyle.My lessons & teaching style
As an experienced language tutor and learner, I personally believe that there are several steps to becoming fluent in a language. It involves some hard work, but if you put the effort in, you will begin to see your growth. I can adjust my teaching technique to fit your unique learning style. I'll keep a log of your progress as we go to help remind you of how far you've come. I will also use this as a base for my teaching so that we can continue to learn new things as well as review all of our past materials to keep them fresh in our minds. I hope you will join me for a lesson.My teaching material

I'm so thankful and grateful to be formally learning noun classes with a native certified Swahili teacher! For me, this is the trickiest part of learning Swahili and Xavery is the best teacher to help guide you through this. I love his verb perspective approach, it is helping to unlock the mysteries of this new grammatical concept for me. Asante sana kwa kazi yako, Xavery. Wewe ni mwalimu bora!

Xavery is such a good teacher and his methods really work! I've studied Swahili noun classes in university, but they never did stick in my head. Xavery's method works so well and it's so easy to remember. Amazing teacher!

I have now had around ten lessons with Xavery and I'm really noticing an improvement in my Swahili. He has prepared lots of good material with interesting topics geared to my level, for conversation, reading, vocabulary learning. I really enjoy our weekly chats!

As per usual, another fantastic class with Xavery. I'm so glad to be able to go through these more complicated grammatical structures with Xavery because he patiently guides me and encourages me through all of this, not to mention with a lot of laughs. Xavery's classes are so much fun! My Swahili classes with Xavery are a main highlight of my week, I love them. Asante sana, Xavery, wewe ni balaa sana na nashukuru sana kwa kazi yako!!

Great lesson again.
Xavery explained the full topic of noun based dependencies to me again. As I forgot some things due to a long break, thanks for that!
The new podcast made by him is also great and a huge help practicing listening.
