Me as a Teacher
I'm experienced tutor, i have taught in schools for more than fifteen years and online for three years. I'am also highly skilled in language teaching approaches, techniques, strategies and methods. I have also undergone a special course for teaching non native speakers of Swahili language. I know how to encourage and motivate learners. I can speak Swahili, English & French.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach all kinds of learners from beginners, intermediate and advanced level. I also teach Swahili for those who want to learn for traveling or vacation. I always ask learners to explain what outcome they would need to attain, so I use simple notes, audios, short stories, simple grammar, audio visuals, you tube etc. I help learners practice speaking the targeted language. I categorize my teaching into grammar, vocabulary, language use & conversation.

Had a great conversation with Pius today. He's very patient, has clear pronunciation and knows how to adjust the conversation to your level. He uses the chat to point out difficult words, which is a big help.

Pius is the BEST! He is patient, encouraging, and makes every lesson both fun and informative. His passion for teaching and language really shows, and it keeps me motivated to keep learning. I’m so grateful to him and so grateful he teaches on Italki. I recommend him to anyone looking to learn Swahili! Asante Pius!
