Grace

I had another excellent class with Mwalimu Grace. She is a lovely person, very professional, and always comes to class very well prepared with exercises and material tailored to her students' learning needs. For example today, she prepared a level-appropriate story for me to read in Swahili and I was able to work on my oral comprehension, speaking and negating verbs, which has been a significant challenge for me. I felt more confident in my ability to negate verbs after our class, thanks to her exercises. Asante sana kwa darasa la leo, Mwalimu Grace. Ninashukuru sana kwa kazi yako.

Mwalimu Grace is so punctual, always waiting for me in the classroom. Today we watched a very interesting video about building luxury hotels inside game parks and the issues surrounding them. It triggered some great questions and discussions. We also made a plan for the next lesson. She always has different ideas to keep the lessons interesting.

We had a great lesson today. We looked at a definition in a Swahili-Swahili dictionary, which got me thinking to buy one myself. We then wrapped up a fable and discussed the moral of the story. We made a plan for the next lesson. Looking forward to it!

Great lesson with Grace! We learned about how numbers work, talking about age, talking about dates and talking about time. Grace explained the way that people in Kenya count hours, since it is different. Grace really made sure that I understood each topic, and gave me the document so that I can review. Numbers are important, and I'm sure this lesson will prove very useful!

Great lesson with Grace! We learned about personal pronouns and how to make simple sentences "I am...", "you are..", etc. Grace also explained how huyu and huyo are different, and gave some context about culture with respect to introductions. Grace gives good explanations and I really like her teaching style!

Great lesson with Grace! We learned about the ji/ma noun class, and what sort of nouns belong to this class. We also learned how the ji/ma class influences the verb. Grace did a very nice job of explaining how everything works and giving many examples. She also kept things simple so that I could better understand!
