Hello? Habari? I'm Kathy, thank you for taking the time to go through my profile. I am an easy person to talk to, that's how majority of my students describe me. I'm a good listener, I pay attention to detail and I love to teach. I have been teaching on Italki for the last 2.5years can't believe it and It has been one of the most enjoyable experiences ever. I'm also passionate about social and economic impact, a calling that I pursue amongst my community here in Kenya. Lastly, I am so glad that you are joining the community of amazing students that I have been priviledged to interact with here. Join us, and let me help you ace your learning goals. Welcome on board. See you soon!

Me as a Teacher
My students describe me as kind, knowledgeable, conversational, fun and patient. In the 2 years of teaching Swahili on Italki, I have learnt to understand how beautifully different each student I meet is. I tailor make the lesson to match my student's personality, needs and goals. Each lesson looks different for each student. I give lots of encouragement to my students to keep them going because I understand how challenging learning a new language is. I ensure they are comfortable talking with me, including sharing their struggles.
My lessons & teaching style
I know just how daunting meeting a new tutor online is, and wondering whether they will understand you and what you're looking to achieve. I therefore create a safe environment to make my students learn easily and at ease such that It doesn't even seem as if they're in class.

As an American born in Kenya Cathy has made me more comfortable speaking swahilli, the lessons help me reach the goal of having conversations in swahilli with family back in Kenya .Learning a lot of new vocabulary each lesson.Darasa lilikuwa la kuvutia tulizungumzia kuhusu kusafiri na ndoto. The class was very interesting we talked about traveling and dreams.Cathy anaelekeza somo vizuri sana ili kuendeleza mazungumzo kwa asili. Cathy directs the lesson very well and the conversation goes naturally. Asante sana!

I've been taking sessions with Cathy for some time now. She is the best tutor! She is knowledgeable about the Swahili language. Moreso, she is patient, and kind and teaches relevant material to me in a way that is easy to interpret.

I have done 8 lessons now with Cathy and she is exactly what I was looking for. I just needed a comfortable space to practice my Swahili conversational skills. She is laid back, easy to talk to, kind, knowledgeable, and reliable. I really enjoy our talks and my Swahili is improving under her instruction!
