Hujambo, mimi ni Denis mzawa wa Kenya na mzungumzaji Kiswahili wa kiasilia,napenda kutanagamana na watu kutoka kwa tamaduni tofauti ili kubadilishana maarifa na kunoa ujuzi kuhusu dunia kwa jumla. Kwa wakati wangu napenda kutembea mandharini kupumzisha mawazo. Zaidi ya hayo mimi ni mwalimu wa Kiswahili kwa wanafunzi wa shule za upili na msingi.
Hi, I am Denis a Kenyan and Swahili native. I am a Swahili language teacher to elementary and high school students. I enjoy interacting with people from various cultures around the world as this helps broaden my general worldview. In my free time, I enjoy taking nature walks to ease my mind as I enjoy the calming and often breathtaking atmosphere.
Me as a Teacher
I have been passionate about teaching and helping others since my early years in high school. I have two five of teaching experience instructing learners with diverse backgrounds. I am also successful at boosting achievement, having increased average performance in Geography and Swahili in the institutions I have worked as a teacher. I am enthusiastic and hardworking with excellent teaching skills, an expert communicator with experience bringing together diverse departments, and with a proven record of performance, and am results-oriented. I am T.S.C registered (No. 982592), a graduate of Scott Christian University having a Bachelor's degree in Education. I love teaching Swahili.
My lessons & teaching style
I employ many teaching methodologies in my lessons, but I will discuss the two main ones. The first one is the lecture method which many teachers commonly utilize. I like the method because it can usually help my students and me cover a lot of work quickly. However, I only prefer to use it while teaching students who have already understood the main concept, making it easier to move faster. The second method is Demonstrator. This is student-centered and allows them to come up with problem-solving strategies. They can ask questions and simulate what they have just learned. Also, I can use the method to demonstrate some concepts in my teaching content using various technological tools.
