I have been working as a Swahili teacher for more than seven years now, teaching individual students and those who are under different institutions. For example I have taught Polish ambassador in Tanzania and help him to pass BAKITA exam for diplomatic issues, I have also taught, staffs of French Embassy in Tanzania, Finland Ambassador in Tanzania, Norwegian Ambassador in Tanzania, Belgium Ambassador in Tanzania UN, foreign banks like First National Bank (FNB), Standard Chartered, International School of Tanganyika (IST), CCBRT hospital, DFID, European Union in Tanzania, GIZ, Fillip Morris International and many more,My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style, first thing is to try to know the level of the student
To know the level of the student I have the list of topics for all levels, for that i will start the conversations based on the topics until I know the level.
The style of teaching will always vary depending on the level and sometimes the learning speed of students. Example I teach grammar, I use story reading, story picture, flash cards, Audio and sometimes going to the related place of the lesson concern. For example going to the market for the lesson of buying and selling and Cultural things.My teaching material
