I create a friendly and encouraging environment where you can ask questions, practice comfortably, and improve consistently. Together, we will build your understanding of authentic Swahili in a way that is both structured and engaging.

About Me
I am a native Swahili speaker from Kenya with a strong academic foundation in the language and a genuine passion for teaching and cultural exchange. Growing up under Kenya’s 8-4-4 education system, I developed a solid understanding of Swahili grammar, literature, and practical communication, consistently performing well in the subject throughout my studies. Swahili is not just a language to me; it is part of my identity and culture.

I enjoy creating a learning environment that is structured, engaging, and encouraging. My goal is to help students build real confidence in speaking and understanding Swahili step by step. Whether you are learning for travel, personal interest, academic reasons, or professional growth, I will guide you with patience, clarity, and practical exercises that make the language feel natural and accessible.

I have lived 9 years of my life outside of Hungary out of which 4 years were in China and 5 years were in Canada.
I got to experience what it is like to move from one culture to another and also had the opportunity to experience different educational systems. Hungarian is my native language but I learned to read and write in English sooner than in Hungarian.

My entire life I have enjoyed working with people and since the beginning of my adult years that passion has taken form in teaching. I have 9 years of teaching experience at every level and almost every age starting from early elementary school to the elderly. I have taught and am teaching staff and management of multiple companies in Budapest, however I did teach English in a Hungarian elementary school for 2 years as well. Currently, next to the cooperation with companies I greatly enjoy having private lessons with students from all walks of life.

I offer classes which are specifically designed for the needs of each student. This can mean that we work on how to have meaningful conversations at a workplace or simply to catch up with basic English for school. If you have some trouble reading this text we can work on your grammar or vocabulary too! Our goal will be to meet your needs! If you would like to study with a few friends we can make that happen too!


Location and Time:
Classes can be held online, in person at your place or in a coffee shop wich suits us both. My hours of availability varries since my schedule follows the schedule of the current students. The easiest is if we get in touch and discuss the hours of availability!

If you would like to take lessons with me feel free to get in touch!
