Swahili nourisher for a lifetime. I try to do the best that I can in the current situation. I try to make my lessons as real and relevant as possible and try to explain why we are doing things and what this leads to. As a weight loss coach, I used to teach mostly in the Swahili language and made my lessons fun and engaging. As I continue to evolve as a teacher, I am always learning better ways to present materials to my audience.

Oi(Hey), Speak Swahili like a native. Swahili is one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa — especially across East Africa — and I’ve had the joy of teaching it for over 6 years, both part-time and full-time. One thing I’ve learned? No two students learn the same way! That’s what makes teaching so exciting. I love creating a relaxed space where my students can speak as naturally as possible — no pressure, just good vibes and steady progress. It’s all about feeling confident and having fun while learning!
