Umuhoza Karen

I recommend Umuhoza for all levels of Swahili learners. Her wealth of knowledge of different east African cultures/customs adds an extra level of benefits to taking her classes for beginners to advance level learners.

I could you recommend Umuhoza more highly. I learn a lot during her classes AND it is a lot of fun. This must be the best way to learn a language... She leads the class Professionally, and seems to understand very well how to adapt her curriculum to my needs, interests and learning speed. When we talk, it is like I am in Africa already!

excellent teacher! will keep working with her!!

If it were possible I would definitely rate Umuhoza Karen much higher. She was very kind and understanding in her approach and always encourages me to keep speaking Swahili. She made the lesson very fun and interactive, and she is very knowledgeable about the Swahili language, she explains clearly and precisely more than what the word means but how to use it properly she is one of the best Swahili teachers out there. I'll definitely be doing more lessons with her, and I have nothing but great things to say about her.

Umohoza Karen is an outstanding teacher. Im a teacher myself, so i can be a little bit too picky sometimes, but this has been a truly fullfilling learning experience. No doubt I will continue to learn with her.

I took a trial class to learn Kinyarwanda and I really enjoyed it. The teacher has great energy, is very kind, and clearly knows what she’s doing. She explains things in a structured and effective way. I also really like that the lessons are private, so she can fully adapt to your level. I’m still a beginner, but I already picked up some basics from hearing the language around me, and she helps me build a strong foundation and truly understand how the language works. You can tell she has a lot of experience. If you’re unsure at first, I’d definitely recommend trying a trial lesson — it really convinced me 😊
