I offer tutoring services in English and Swahili languages, interviews and exam preparations. Whether it's mastering complex concepts, improving study skills, or preparing for exams, I tailor my approach to meet the specific goals and challenges of each student.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is straightforward and highly interactive, with a focus on the direct method where both teacher and student are fully engaged. Most importantly, my approach is student-centered, designed to help you build your vocabulary and master sentence structures in English or Swahili.
Together, we will incorporate grammar, reading, writing, and engage in oral conversations. I’ll guide you through the simple rules of English or Swahili, empowering you to become an excellent speaker. Assignments are a key part of our lessons, as they allow me to assess your understanding and provide support where needed.

I really appreciate each lesson with Ruth. She is patient and always has a way of explaining a word or phrase that I find difficult to understand. I really like that it is not always small talk, but we also work on describing and reading skills.

After taking lessons with Teacher Ruth for just a few months, my Swahili has gone from absolute zero to understanding the principles of grammar and sentence structure, as well as a significant amount of vocabulary. I'm able to form sentences on my own and we're now readily progressing through conversational skills. It feels amazing to be able to make so much progress in such a short period of time. Teacher Ruth is a wonderful teacher who is patient and supportive, I always look forward to our lessons. Asante sana, Mwalimu!

Ruth is a highly engaging teacher. She takes an interest in me as a student and incorporates my learning style into her lessons. I can feel her passion for teaching and it inspires me to continue booking Swahili classes. She's very encouraging to me as a beginner which I highly appreciate because my confidence is not high when I'm learning a new language. She's easily the best Swahili teacher on italki and arguably the best language teacher I've had so far.

Once again, another incredible lesson! Always kind and friendly, very informative, and careful to explain not only sentence structure but also noun and verb class. Anapendeza, a truly wonderful teacher!
