Jacinta Siago

I am pleased to write this recommendation for my Swahili language teacher Jacinta Siago, who has made a significant impact on my language learning journey. Her dedication, patience, and passion for teaching have not only helped me build a strong foundation in Swahili, but also deepened my appreciation for East African culture and communication. What sets this teacher apart is their ability to make complex concepts easy to understand, always taking the time to explain grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in a clear and engaging way. Lessons are well-organized and interactive. I wholeheartedly recommend my Swahili teacher to anyone interested in learning the language. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and commitment to student success are truly inspiring.

I 100% recommend Jacinta. I never thought I’d be able to learn Swahili very well and she is teaching me so much! So excited to learn more.

it was short since it was a trial lesson but we dived in and figured out the level we needed

Jacinta is extremely well rounded for this. Keeping focused on the student learning the language, she is creative, patient, open,and quite disciplined in working with the student to achieve desired goals. Her personality is extremely pleasant and a definite value add

Very nice teacher

Today's lesson with Jacinta was again a lot of fun. I learned to say "Mbuzi anapiga mbizi" and I found out that Jacinta is a gifted singer. 🎤 Our lessons are still a bit English heavy since we are translating a simple dialogue into Swahili but this way I feel that I am acquiring the language in a more intense setting and later when we speak I utter my words with more confidence. I really appreciate how Jacinta guides me through this process and step by step brings me closer to a conversational level.
