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!
