Mwalimu Jabali

Asante sana kwa darasa lako nzuri. Jabali is an inspiring teacher; his passion for the Swahili language is contagious. His knowlege on the language is top notch and was able to share some best practices on how I can take my learning to the next level. Asante Sana !

While I have not had the opportunity to have many lessons with Mr. Ekevu (I have had to prioritize other things), I can tell any prospective learners of Swahili that he is a fine teacher. For example: in the short amount of time that we worked together, he assisted me in understanding certain concepts that I had failed to grasp during my (attempted) autodidactic studies of Arabic, and such an ability to instill understanding in one's students must certainly be desired by anybody seeking to learn a language! I will say, however, that he has a preference for Microsoft Teams, which may not be suitable for some viewers. Over the course of our classes, this method of communication proved itself to be unreliable, as I was booted from the meeting several times, delaying the instruction somewhat. I had a class with another teacher who used Zoom, and he and I faced no difficulties in speaking to one another. I wasn't booted once!
