LetturaStoria
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!Che tipo di insegnante sono
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.Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
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 My curriculum is centered on real, everyday Swahili—NOT rote memorization of random phrases or outdated tourist Swahili.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!Il mio materiale didattico

La scelta dell'insegnante
I just finished my first lesson package with Tina and bought another immediately. Tina's lessons have exceeded my expectations. Rather than going with a $5 tutor like I usually do, I paid more after reading Tina's reviews. Her style is unique and she tailored my lessons according to my goals. She brought a guest speaker to one of my lessons to practice real life conversation with an unfamiliar face. She provides me with relevant resources and takes my feedback into consideration. Ukitaka kujifunza kiswahili, umepata mwalimu wako!

Mwalimu Tina is the best Swahili teacher on italki, and I’ve worked with multiple teachers just to confirm. The major difference is that she has learned Kiswahili as an adult!Most others instructors that learned as children cannot relate to being an adult learner.
She uses lots of different learning aids to teach with. Other people are just trying to have a conversation with you, or worse, asking you to lead the sessions… That’s what the teacher is for! They aren’t proactively providing teaching plans customized to your level like she is.
Mwalimu Tina gives textbooks, reading assignments, recordings for pronunciation practice and even chats in between sessions to help make sure you have all parts of the language learning toolkit at your disposal.
The materials really aid study and enable the student to be self empowered between sessions. That really gives you a sense of control as a student so you can feel like you’re actually making progress and not just randomly chatting.

I have been having classes with Tina for a couple of months now. As a foreigner living abroad in an English-speaking country, my English needs were both specific and broad. Tina has been able to address every single question I’ve had and point out details about the language that I wasn’t even aware of—whether by identifying them on the spot or by preparing lessons focused on the areas I struggled with the most.

Wow! I can already see my Swahili skills improving. There is lots of work to do, but it’s been inspiring to see the true depth of knowledge that Mwalimu Tina has to share. Thanks so much for another amazing lesson! :)

I'm very happy with Tina. She makes a personal plan for you. my Swahili improves every time! I am very happy with her, she is very creative, which makes the lessons interesting and fun.

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!
