À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 13 Oct 2023Sujets d'intérêtVoyagesMusiqueÉcritureLectureHistoire
Swahili is my second language through full immersion while living in Tanzania for many years. As an anthropologist, I bring a love for language and culture to my lessons. I acquired Swahili using a self-directed approach—with the leading resources, and through daily conversations with those close to me from Tanzania and DR Congo. This foundation allowed me to conduct postgraduate research in Swahili and complete my Master’s thesis/degree from the University of Dar-es-Salaam. I teach Swahili with the same supportive, friendly methods that helped me become fluent. As you build confidence in Swahili or English, we’ll read and converse to connect language with everyday life, family, and culture!Moi en tant que professeur
I bring the most unique perspective to Swahili instruction—I navigated the process and became fluent at the C2 level from the ground up, so I understand the challenges learners face. I use and develop evidence-based strategies to guide progress. My Swahili methods work—they are practical, clear, and rooted in experience. For six years, I've taught Swahili to refugees and relatives of Swahili speakers abroad, with prior roles in music education and university instruction. I keep lessons down-to-earth and to the point—I also embrace the importance of humor in the learning process! My goal is to help you feel confident, capable, and equipped to meet your Swahili and English goals—step-by-step. Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I specialize in teaching relatives of Swahili speakers using the leading language resources I’ve found through my research and my own immersive experience. I also teach researchers and travelers. My lessons prioritize conversational Swahili, from greetings (a key cultural custom)—to the most practical phrases—to your objectives and life passions. We emphasize listening, speaking, and reading—naturally integrating intonation and grammar—like noun classes, tenses, and verb extensions. My curriculum is centered on real, everyday Swahili—NOT rote memorization of random phrases or outdated tourist Swahili. I love teaching English and Tanzanian Swahili—it's fun and accessible to learn and speak!Mes ressources d'enseignement

Mwalimu Tina is an exceptional teacher. She has self-designed a curriculum that she trusts, merging several sources. But she is also adaptable. She can pivot to focus on topics you want to discuss. Best of all, I feel that she truly cares about her students’ progress. She is the only language teacher I have ever had who keeps notes on each of your lessons, sends a written reminder of homework and has a WhatsApp group for you to connect with her other Swahili students. 👍🏼

Mwalimu Tina is perhaps the most dedicated swahili teacher on the platform right now. Her knowledge of what tools and methods adult learners need for learning a language have been more than helpful in my learning journey. She energetic and adaptive, and designs her lessons around the interests of her students. Highly recommended for any beginners in Swahili!

Christina is a person who clearly has a passion for teaching, so if you are committed to learning, she can help you a lot, whether you want to learn the language or improve your current level. You can work with her to set up a plan that fits your needs and goals. We have been working on my English pronunciation and with her help, suggestions, and corrections, I have seen real improvement. Thanks Christina😊
