I am patient and empathetic which are very important skills required when it comes to teaching a new language. I specialize in the basics of Swahili and Dholuo, conversation practice and sentence construction in both Swahili and Dholuo language. For several years of working in my field of work, I have perfected my confidence and conversation skills since it involves meeting and having a one on one conversation with my clients. My confidence will also be of great help as an italki community tutor since all the lessons will be conducted virtually.

Eva
Certified TEFL teacher with 4 years teaching experience. Living in Africa has helped me to interact with people from different countries. I have been teaching languages for about 3 years. I had a lot of international students from all over the world. I am very fun,friendly and outgoing and always encourage my students to speak as much as possible and entirely lose their fear of making a mistake (they are an essential part of learning any language!). We can do casual classes, where we mostly speak about various topics, or if you need to prepare for assessments such as IELTS and CAE, we can do speaking in the exam format. In the previous years I have prepared several students to do these exams and they all passed with flying colors.

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!
