Fantastic lesson with Mwalimu Pius. Such great cultural insights. There are so many things about this novel I'm reading that I wouldn't understand if not for him. Pius is the best!

We had a good lesson and I learned verb conjugations: to be and to have. It was useful to see the patterns between different tenses and persons. Thank you!

Mwalimu Pius is such a great teacher. He strikes a good balance between asking questions and giving his own opinion, so there's good opportunity for speaking and listening practice. He always makes the conversation interesting as well.

A great lesson with Mwalimu Pius today! We covered a lot of ground, from book review to various cultural topics. Mwl. Pius always provides deep insights into the language and culture of Tanzania and beyond.

Pius was friendly and calm. We had a very good first lesson in which he taught me greetings and some basic vocabularies. I look forward to more lessons before my trip.

Today's lesson had a lot of variety. We looked at words that look similar but have very different meanings. We read/sang some poetry (Mwalimu Pius is even a great singer!) and also discussed various topics as they came to mind. He is very flexible and can help you with whatever your Swahili learning goals are.
