Shelmith Weru

I've had 3 lessons now with Shelmith and am very happy with the progress we've made together. I do a lot of self study so I was looking for a tutor who is adaptable, has a great knowledge of Swahili and can give fast paced lessons. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to start learning or improve their Swahili.

My Family and I feel so fortunate to have found italki and then on top of that to have found a great teacher who not only is an excellent teacher but also my daughter loved and is looking forward to learn from during the next class. Been Kenyan born and raised,I speak broken Swahili and every attempt I have made in teaching my daughter who is American born Swahili has failed. I found italki online and found Miss Weru ,loved her intro and my daughter immediately picked her .During class we had technical difficulties and she was so patient with us and even helped us troubleshoot,I thought since lesson time had passed that she wouldn’t teach but she still taught her,We are so excited to be on this journey and to have some consistency with the same loving teacher.I could tell right away it was going be great and I can finally practice with my daughter.She doesn’t even want a play date on Saturday morning coz she is looking forward to learning Swahili. I hope this app lasts a long time!

Omg y’all😍😍 if you are looking for a teacher whose understanding, patient, and overall just polite there’s no need to look any further! She is sooo nice and she took the time to get to know me and my learning needs. I’m so excited to learn Swahili from her!! I’m a very loud person and can be very energetic and she didn’t make me feel out of place at all! Definitely going to stick with her on my journey 🥰

I fully enjoyed my first lesson with Shelmith. She was patient, kind and encouraging. I look forward to our next lesson.

Shelmith is a terrific Swahili teacher! She has provided materials and homework and is pushing me to extend my knowledge in class. I highly recommend her!

This is only my second lesson with Shelmith, but she already understands what method works well for me and what level I am at. She is very friendly and helpful!
