Awethu Hope Tshengu

My experience with Awethu continues to be outstanding. She has an advanced understanding of many languages that include English, Xhosa, Zulu and Afrikaans, and it shows in her ability to explain grammar, use and understand slang as well as formal language. As a Native English speaker myself, I am impressed of how well she is able to explain things in regards to the Xhosa culture and language and relate those things to an English speaker. She is also very understanding of the challenges that I face while trying to learn a second language, and that means a lot to someone who has never spoken a second language. I am very much looking forward to continuing to my language studies with Awethu.

Awethu has such a deep understanding of languages and it shows through her teaching and teaching style. She tries to relate the content to your native language and always makes examples on how to use different concepts. She is passionate about helping you understand the language and fluently speak it with the right pronunciation and context.

Awethu is a naturally gifted teacher. She has a lot of helpful resources, videos and documents for me to experience and work through for homework that really help to speed up the learning process. She is also able to adjust the pace of the learning process in class. She has a good sense for when things are too easy or even too difficult and makes adjustments very quickly so that the lesson stays effective. I always come out of the lessons highly satisfied with my progress for that day and after multiple lessons, there is a noticeable difference in just a few weeks. She has a true gift for teaching!

Awethu , the best teacher , a true professional, and a very good person 🙏

This trial lesson was so nice. We addressed where I stand in my IsiXhosa knowledge and where we are headed. We got to know each other and she created a very safe space to learn. I look forward to the lessons ahead

My classes with Awethu continue to be very effective. She is always well organized and brings so much understanding of the language to each lesson. She is able to relate very well to Native English speakers to help understand the differences in the structure of the Xhosa language. I look forward to continuing our lessons together!
