Native Swahili (Kenya) Tutor | Conversational Kiswahili | All Levels Welcome Habari! I’m Gatuchi, a native Kenyan Swahili speaker and a professional linguist with over three years of experience teaching Kiswahili to students from all over the world. My passion lies in connecting cultures through language, and I specialise in helping English speakers master real, everyday Swahili as it’s spoken in Kenya. My lessons are designed to focus on natural, practical conversation, the kind of Swahili you’ll actually hear and use in daily life, whether you’re travelling, working, or making friends in Kenya. I hold an MA in Kiswahili–English Translation from the University of Nairobi, which means I have a deep understanding of both languages and know exactly where English speakers often get stuck. I use this expertise to make Swahili clear, natural, and fun for you, no matter your background or learning goals. Let’s work together to unlock the Swahili you’ll truly use and enjoy!

I had a good lesson with Tuchi. He has a vast knowledge of Swahili as well as English which is very helpful. He also knows the Swahili words for technical terms which is something one does not often see. There seemed to be some minor problems with his audio which meant I had to strain now and then to hear him. Besides that, the only suggestion I have is for him to perhaps ask more questions. Overall, though, he gets two thumbs up. Asante sana, Tuchi!
