Mwalimu Tina is an exceptional teacher. She has self-designed a curriculum that she trusts, merging several sources. But she is also adaptable. She can pivot to focus on topics you want to discuss. Best of all, I feel that she truly cares about her students’ progress. She is the only language teacher I have ever had who keeps notes on each of your lessons, sends a written reminder of homework and has a WhatsApp group for you to connect with her other Swahili students. 👍🏼

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!

I have been taking English lessons with Mwalimu for a couple of weeks, and I have already seen a big improvement in my pronunciation and vocabulary. She is helpful , supportive, and explains things clearly. She has really helped me improve my English and become more confident when speaking. Since Swahili is my native language, I really appreciate her support. I highly recommend her!

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. I'm going to Tanzania next month so we'll adjust it accordingly. I got a lot of good tips for when I go there. she really thinks along!!!

I’ve been learning Swahili with Mwalimu Tina for almost three months, and have found the experience motivating, encouraging and incredibly helpful. I’m actually making gains with the language, something I thought was almost impossible before. Mwl Tina creates the perfect conditions for a serious learning environment. She uses science-backed methods, a diverse and creative range of sources for her curriculum, and ensures that I’m progressing before moving to the next stage. She has a very keen attention to detail. I particularly love how she approaches language learning not just as a cognitive exercise, but also as a physical practice to engage the oral muscles, enunciate and get the right cadence. My listening comprehension has improved significantly due to her emphasis on listening and speaking using real world applications. I also appreciate the cross-cultural perspective that she brings, and her training as an Anthropologist offers a unique perspective and approach to learning!

Mwalimu Tina is not only a knowledgeable and attentive teacher, but also a truly engaging conversation partner. She always supports discussions on topics that are interesting and relevant to me, which makes every lesson both enjoyable and valuable. I benefit not only from her clear explanations and guidance, but also from the opportunity to practice English through meaningful conversations. I highly recommend learning with her.
