About Me

The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.
— Pablo Picasso

I am the type of teacher that every student looks forward to seeing every day. I like each of my lectures to be akin to a comedy stand-up routine where the learners are laughing so much, they don’t realize they’re also learning.

Route memorization would be out, but general concepts and theory would be required. Tests—if even necessary—would be light-hearted and breezy. Tests could be retaken as many times as needed*

Education

University of Tokyo

My educational background has prepared me well and for a successful career path in teaching Swahili for fun. I also plan to pursue further coursework in the future to keep learning and gain the qualifications to advance in this field.

Experience / Qualifications

Graduate studies

I also use digital and online resources and make sure my students have access to them too. I make sure that they can freely contact me digitally (such as via Skype, Go2Meeting etc.) to work through any problems.

I am honored to have been teaching for so long, and I will gladly do it for as long as I have the opportunity.

"Wanderlust and Discovery: A Journey Through Diverse Destinations and Cultures Around the Globe"
This lesson focuses on how travelling and exploring new places can be engaging and educational, encouraging students to develop practical language skills while discussing an exciting, universally appealing theme. This lesson aims to build vocabulary, enhance conversational skills, and foster cultural awareness through a variety of activities. The lesson begins with a warm-up activity where students are asked to share their dream travel destinations. This quick introductory discussion not only generates excitement but also encourages students to express personal interests, setting a conversational tone for the class. Following this, the teacher introduces key travel-related vocabulary, such as "itinerary," "landmarks," "budget," and "accommodation." By matching definitions with examples, students reinforce their understanding of these terms in a travel context, providing a foundation for subsequent activities. Next, students participate in a structured group discussion, where they describe a memorable travel experience or a place they aspire to visit. This exercise allows students to apply their newly acquired vocabulary, narrate experiences, and practice descriptive language. The class then transitions to a collaborative role-play activity: students work in small groups to create a travel itinerary for a destination of their choice. Each group selects activities, accommodation types, and budgets, simulating real-life trip planning and promoting teamwork. To diversify the lesson and incorporate listening skills, an optional component involves listening to a travel blog or vlog, where students identify the speaker’s destination, key activities, and cultural highlights. This element enhances comprehension and further immerses students in authentic language use related to travel. The lesson concludes with a brief reflection, allowing students to share their thoughts on the destinations discussed. By blending vocabulary, discussion, role-play, and listening activities, this lesson provides a holistic approach to language learning, equipping students with the linguistic tools and confidence to discuss travel experiences, and cultivating a broader understanding of diverse cultures.

LEARN HOW TO SPEAK IN SWAHILI LANGUAGE AND TEST PREP TUTORING.
Well, as some may say that French is a language of love, i dare say that Swahili is the actual language of love for the syllables tend to have way more impact! Not forgetting how sweet to the tongue Swahili is when speaking. I have therefore designed this course to offer a Kenyan national dialect in Swahili language for any interactive beginner level student to an advanced level student. Kilicho na mwanzo kina mwisho which translates to "Whichever that has a beginning has an end as well but in as much as it is so let us strive to keep it going and learn a new language and see to it till the end, as there is fun and a mystery to be able to learn, speak and write a new language and or be bilingual or multilingual other than your native language. Karibu!
