Umfundisi Samkeliso will make sure that you are learning and that you understand what you are learning. If you have any questions, he will not hesitate to explain to you while also encouraging you to arrive at the answer on your own. I feel a lot more confident about my knowledge of the language. Ngiyabonga kakhulu.

Sam is honestly just a delight! It's so inspiring to be taught and listen to someone who has such a fundamental understanding of the structure of language and grammar. It's a real joy and his teaching style really feels like he's giving you building blocks to create a strong foundational knowledge. A real gem and a great teacher - highly recommend!

The lesson was awesome! I felt very comfortable and encouraged, it was definitely a confidence booster and having a live person who is a native speaker was very helpful. I’ll definitely be booking again.
