Swahili for people interested in East and Central Africa.

Madarasa yangu yatakuwa sana sana yakuwasiliana pamoja na wanafunzi wangu. Wanafunzi wangu wote watatakikana waonyeshe umakinifu darasani. Ningetaka wasome hili lugha kwa kuuliza maswali, kumaliza kazi zao za nyumbani, wajikakamue kusoma na kuandika katika lugha hili la Swahili.

Swahili ni lugha ambalo linatumika Afrika Mashariki na nchi zinginezo. Ni lugha tamu sana linalo pendeza mno. Takriban watu millioni mia mbili hutumia hii lugha kwa hivyo ni muhimu sana kulisoma na kulifahamu.

My classes will be mainly interactive. The student will be required to proactively learn and demonstrate interest in learning the language by asking questions, completing assignments given, practising their reading and improve their writing skills.

Swahili is a language that is spoken in East Africa as well as other countries. It is a sweet, beautiful language. Approximately two hundred million people speak Swahili therefore it is very important to learn to speak this language and understand it.

About Me

My name is Fiona. An East African lady. I am a lively, curious individual that loves to learn new things. I believe learning is never ending. I find joy in tutoring because it is not void of learning. Teaching and learning go hand in hand. My students learn from me, I learn from my students. Knowledge is power. I love to share my knowledge and being part of ones journey in their personal growth and development. I love it when my students are proactive and interested in the lessons. My students should carry out extra research work aside from what they learn during their classes. My students should also do their assignments on time.
I hope that my students and I will develop a fruitful long lasting teacher-student relationship in which both parties learn from each other.

Education

Master of Arts in Project Planning and Management.

My Masters degree taught me that the more I know, the more I know that I don't know, hence my drive to not only continue learning but to also teach. I believe that teaching and learning go hand in hand.

Experience / Qualifications

4years experience in Project Management. I have worked in Social development projects, some that focused on Education.

7 years experience in Tutoring young children and pre-teens in Swahili.

Reviews (1)

Fiona showed patience and humour and kept me on point throughout the session. Had few issues with my accent too which was a bonus. And the result was a tasty lunch in which I will practice all week to memorise. I'll be back for more lessons, Thank you Fiona! A pleasure.
The classes will be practical. Students will be required to fully participate in the cooking classes. They will learn the techniques on how to cook diverse dishes common in East Africa, specifically Kenya. Students should declare their allergies prior to the classes in order to provide alternatives and make planning smoother. Students will be required to eat what they have cooked during the cooking class and improve their cooking skills in their free time.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Simon
Language Learning Coach- Learn how to learn a language, use it with ease and have great conversations
“I feel stuck” These words I hear again and again, from beginners to advanced. The majority of students who come to me are frustrated. They spent many years studying languages at school. They’ve spent both their time and lots of money. Only to find themselves still struggling to form a sentence. Still struggling to be able to understand a native speaker. If you’re here then I’m assuming you share some of these same struggles. You get confused trying to memorize grammar rules, remember vocabulary, and makes sentances. You don’t know how to learn every day. You get distracted and then you feel too tired to keep going. Believe it or not, I’ve been there too and to be honest, it sucks to have another language is to possess a second soul Charlemage Now, I want you to trust me on your language journey Imagine finally knowing exactly what to do when you sit at your desk to learn a language. Imagine knowing how to learn grammar, how to remember vocabulary and make it stick, how to speak, and how to write beautiful sentences. Imagine going on holiday somewhere and interacting with locals. Laughing, eating, dancing and living life in a different language.

Private Ukrainian lessons. LEARN UKRAINIAN EASILY WITH ME. "Unlock the World: Elevate Your Life with Ukrainian Language Lessons!"
As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education. I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love. My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education. I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.
