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.

Pius knows the language and how to teach it better than probably 90% of other teachers.

I really enjoyed my lesson with Pius. He is very engaging and really helped me access my french vocabulary from when I learned it as a child. His style is very collaborative and fun.

He keeps giving me the middle finger. I take the hint. Best to him!

Good lesson! I got a lot of vocabulary, but there is a lot of vocabulary I need. We talked about religion and politics. I get tired of the middle finger.

Wow! I've taken many lessons with many teachers in many languages but Pius---he is the best that I've seen. He was so patient and helpful, he knew exactly how to keep the conversation flowing naturally. And it was a funny lesson! 😅 I absolutely loved talking with him and his charisma.
Ukiwa Mtanzania anayefikiri kupata somo nae, fanye tu basi! Hutajuta, huyu akifundisha kifaransa vizur kama hufundishavyo kiswahili, usiangalie zaidi.
Asante mwalimu!
