I canβt wait to share my love and knowledge of English π¬π§, Swahili π°πͺ, and Gikuyu π‘ with you.

See you soon πβ¨!
π¬ My teaching style is conversational, helping you master everyday conversations in English π¬π§, Kikuyu π‘, or Swahili π°πͺ.
I also guide you on reading π and writing βοΈ, tailoring lessons to your priorities and preferences π―.

Today we practiced directions, and I feel like a talked a lot more than earlier, which means there is progress. Miriam is dedicated and wonderful. She takes her time and is starting to speak more and more Swahili to me to practice understanding and listening. And I love that she is pushing me a little. Asante sana, Miriam :D

There is definitely progress, because today we spoke a lot more than we've done before. Miriam still have to talk slowly, but she does it with patience and encouragement. She is great at giving homework that benefits the learning and it is very motivating to go through it together. I am happy we are meeting up twice a week! Asante sana tena <3

We went through foods, fruits and drinks, and made a plan for the next weeks for speaking more. Miriam is very good at motivating me and she does a really great job as a teacher. She explains in a way that is easy to understand and everything she does is with a smile. Asante sana! Wewe ni bora sana!
