Miriam is an awesome teacher! I really appreciated how she let me struggle to find my words instead of cutting in to rescue me. She did a great job of leading the conversation into a new topics so that we had a nice flow to the lesson. I think I spoke more Swahili than I have in a long time. I'm looking forward to my next lesson! Thank you Miriam!

Miriam is the best Gĩlũyũ teacher. Her lessons are delightful and I am getting much further in my learning of the language.

What a great first lesson! We started with basic knowledge and even got to look at some grammar and verbs! Miriam is joyful and knowledgeable, and very patient. She made me realize a few things about the grammar that I am very happy about! Asante! See you next week!

Miriam is always so patient with me and very clear in her explanations. She also gives me useful homework to complete between our lessons that don't overwhelm me. She provides me with great culturally relevant explanations as well.
