Me as a Teacher
Hujambo! Mambo vipi😊I believe learning a new language is beneficial because you will be able to express yourself well at a given place where that Language is used. With over 4 years of experience teaching Swahili ,I tailor my lessons to each students specific needs whether you are a beginner or advanced learner. My approach combines interactive activities, real world conversations and personalized feedback to make learning both effective and enjoyable. Learning a language should be fun and engaging, I am here to support you every step of the way. Let us start learning today.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style relies mostly on the specific students interest. As your tutor, I can help you become confident not just in the Swahili language but also with the social skills that go along with successful communication. I love to make my students feel special and value to their lesson and I can teach students of all levels. I will always be available whenever my students have any questions with Swahili terms and will be willing to help at all times. I love to give notes after teaching a topic for my students to have better reference materials for their practice . You will also get to do a test or quiz after topics just to examine yourself. Let us meet in class and have fun learning😊

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

Been having lessons once a week with Jacinta for the last 3 weeks and I have thoroughly enjoyed learning with her! We have a shared document with all my progress and this means I have somewhere to recap on all my learning each week! Asante sana :)

Great first lesson! Jacinta is a very nice person. She was very well prepared for the class but also open for material that I brought to the lesson. Getting to a conversational level in Swahili is still a long road ahead but I feel that Jacinta might be just the right person to show me the way.
