Swahili for people interested in East and Central Africa.

From 32.72 $ /h

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.

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!

a) Comments / proposals on the text that you will offer me b) Writing exercises based on a statement.

Whether it is a novel, an essay, song lyrics, various texts, a biography or simply a report for professional or school purposes, it is about offering you elements personalized pedagogy:

- Study your text
- Build text, song lyrics etc
- Calmly polish the style

These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option.

À la carte: evaluated and adapted to each personality.

This interactive lesson is specifically designed to enable non-native Arabic speakers to master the language in a way that combines enjoyment with a simplified academic approach. The journey begins by focusing on correct pronunciation through precise exercises in the articulation of Arabic letters and distinguishing between similar sounds, giving the learner immediate confidence when speaking. We then move on to reading and listening comprehension through engaging texts drawn from real-life, everyday situations, avoiding rigidity and addressing the needs of both beginner and intermediate learners.
As for grammar, it is presented in an intelligent and accessible way, seamlessly integrated into the flow of speech without resorting to complex terminology, thus making grammar a tool for communication rather than an obstacle. The lesson is characterized by immediate practical application, where learners participate in guided conversations and interactive activities that solidify information in their memory and overcome their fear of making mistakes. This integrated approach ensures the learner's gradual transition from comprehension to fluency, along with a deep understanding of the language's spirit and culture, making each lesson a genuine step towards mastery.

For adults, I offer online "Free Talk" classes. These classes are very popular and are ok for any age. I currently have a group class of people aged 60s to 80s. If you want to talk about daily life, news, hobbies, traveling, etc. and enjoy speaking English, then this is a good class to do it. Usually a 1-hour class is best as it gives plenty of time. If a shorter, or longer, class is better for you I can do that too. Just ask :)

My lessons are flexible and personalized: I can focus on grammar, where I clearly explain the rules, help students apply them, and provide targeted exercises to reinforce learning. I follow the same approach with vocabulary, ensuring students not only understand new words but can actively use them.
If needed, I also provide study support. I help students create concept maps and summaries, develop effective memorization techniques, and guide them through revision and practice. My goal is to support each student in the way that works best for them, adapting every lesson to their specific goals, difficulties, and learning style.

Learning a language means opening yourself up to new ways of being, living and interpreting the world around us.

With a degree in Portuguese and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), I offer support that goes far beyond simple grammar. My approach is rooted in creating a space for pluralistic dialogue, where your interests and worldview enrich each session.

I envision our sessions as an environment of exchange and freedom. Here, you are invited to express yourself with complete confidence, respecting your own pace and process of discovery. My role is to guide you through the organic logic of Brazilian Portuguese, using creative resources—exclusive visual aids, contemporary narratives, and interactive dynamics—that reflect the diversity and depth of real Brazil.

Together, we explore the nuances of Brazilian culture and literature in authentic contexts. I offer you a gateway to a vibrant culture and a new way of experiencing the language.
