Speak Swahili with confidence. Highly qualified professional teacher with 7+ years experience. Hi, I'm Xavery. I've been teaching Swahili full-time for over 7 years and have worked with students from more than 50 countries. I hold a bachelor's degree from Sokoine University of Agriculture in Tanzania, and I'm certified by BAKITA, the National Swahili Council of Tanzania, which is the official authority on Swahili language standards. The thing I'm proudest of is that most of my students stay with me for months or years. I focus on getting you to speak Swahili the way people in Tanzania and Kenya actually speak it day to day. Grammar gets explained clearly when it comes up, vocabulary is built around situations you'll really use, and you'll be making your own sentences from early on. Most new students arrive nervous about making mistakes. In my experience, that goes away faster than you'd expect. I keep a written progress log for every student. Before each lesson, I check where we left off and decide what to work on next. You'll always know what we're doing and why, and if something isn't clicking, I notice it and we adjust. My students are a mix: complete beginners, people preparing for safari trips or missionary work, professionals doing business in East Africa, university students and researchers, and people reconnecting with Tanzanian or Kenyan family. I'm comfortable working with all of them. When you're ready, book a trial lesson. We'll talk about your goals, do a short piece of real teaching, and you'll leave with a clear sense of how I work.
