Me as a Teacher
I'm a professionally certified teacher with 10 years of experience as an English and Swahili teacher. I have taught both in schools and online. I am so passionate about teaching kids too. I have taught kids from the age of 3 to 15 years. My lessons are fun, humorous, and engaging and hence my students enjoy. I'm a patient, kind and loving teacher who understands the needs of my students at their different levels and ages.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is very simple. It's a direct method where both the teacher and the student are fully engaged. Most importantly, my teaching style is student-centered. I help my students build their vocabulary and make English or Swahili sentence structures. We will incorporate grammar, reading, and writing and have oral conversations and I will help you learn the simple rules in English or Swahili that will enable you to become an excellent English or Swahili speaker. Assignment is mandatory. This helps me to understand whether my student understood what we were learning or not and help them where necessary. Book a lesson with me now! Looking forward to meeting you!
I have been studying Swahili with Ruth for some time now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone who would like to learn Swahili, whether they are learning for the first time or are trying to build on what they already know.

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!

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.

It is really nice to have Ruth as a teacher. She is open-minded and always listens carefully. She is always prepared when I want to talk about a specific topic.

I enjoy every lesson with Ruth. She is always cheerful and smiles a lot. If I ask her to talk about something in the next lesson - she always comes prepared.
