Ruth is a highly engaging teacher. She takes an interest in me as a student and incorporates my learning style into her lessons. I can feel her passion for teaching and it inspires me to continue booking Swahili classes. She's very encouraging to me as a beginner which I highly appreciate because my confidence is not high when I'm learning a new language. She's easily the best Swahili teacher on italki and arguably the best language teacher I've had so far.

Ruth is a lovely teacher. She has been helping me learn Swahili in preparation for a research trip I am taking later this year. I hope to continue with her throughout my time in Kenya!

After taking lessons with Teacher Ruth for just a few months, my Swahili has gone from absolute zero to understanding the principles of grammar and sentence structure, as well as a significant amount of vocabulary. I'm able to form sentences on my own and we're now readily progressing through conversational skills. It feels amazing to be able to make so much progress in such a short period of time. Teacher Ruth is a wonderful teacher who is patient and supportive, I always look forward to our lessons. Asante sana, Mwalimu!

I have been taking lessons with Teacher Ruth for some time now and my Gĩkũyũ speaking skills have greatly improved. Our lessons are always engaging, fun, and interactive. I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn from an encouraging, kind, and passionate teacher. Looking forward to our next lesson!
