Joshua is kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the Swahili language! He was able to explain confusing concepts to me very well in English. He's also just a lot of fun to chat with! I would highly recommend Joshua for Swahili lessons.

He teach Swahili effectively and repeatedly. In particular, I prepared a speaking test with my teacher, and it's great that he conducted a class that fits the level with various examples and accurate pronunciation.

Marietta is a real gem and I would recommend her to both adults and children learning Swahili. She is patient, encouraging, and caters her lessons to your needs and interests. I am a writer, so we often create silly stories together to help me learn vocabulary and sentence structure.

I started off with one hour lesson and have switched to 25 min lessons. The content and experience is still the same. I am happy that the quality is the same. I don't feel that I have lost anything by shortening my lessons. The way Mrs. Maretta teaches is what I need. It is formal but informal at the same time. I understand the why, whcih helps me process the infomation.

I think I'm making progress in the aspects that are most important to me. The classes are fun and I have already started to talk and communicate my doubts and interests. I can also write simple but correct texts.

I was nervous for our fast class but it was very calm and engaging. Everything was explained clearly and accurately and Mr. Bakari was very pleasant! The notes and PowerPoint were perfect for the first class and his English was excellent.

Mwalimu was very friendly and patient with a wealth of experience in Swahili language. I will definitely use her services again, after one lesson I was very comfortable and felt like I had learned a few things easily.

Shelmith is a fabulous teacher - she was able to cater to my learning needs perfectly and is extremely organised. Her way of explaining is clear and easy to understand. Our classes are a lot of fun and she never fails to make me laugh.

This review is based on a 25 minute trial class. Marie was prepared with supplemental materials for me based on the needs I had communicated to her before the session. She directly addressed the areas where I had been struggling. He knowledge of grammatical structure and most importantly, her ability to explain it clearly is very good.

I love her classes! Every day I learn new words, and I am improving a lot. She is not just one of the best Swahili teachers but one of the best teachers I have ever met. Many teachers taught me while I was studying in Asia and Oceania, but her determination and method of teaching are the best. I am so happy that I am one of her students!

You did a very good job teaching. I loved how you let me say words and if I got it right, there were encouraging words to follow after. You are very prepared and comfortable with what your teaching. Looking forward to our next lesson!

Marietta is an excellent teacher. We had so much fun laughing together during my lessons. I needed to have some basics in Kiswahili as I was leaving for a medical missions trip to Africa. Marietta was able to verse me in some of the terms that were going to help me in the medical field, as well as day to day living language. A very gifted, professional and wonderful teacher!

Marietta really helped me as I struggled with changing sentences from active to passive and with using passive verbs that I had never known how to before. I appreciate her hard work to prepare for each lesson and highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn the basics but also the more challenging content of this beautiful language.

I had a great first lesson with Ruth. It was a bit difficult to hear her clearly, but that is the fault of technology, not the lesson and I thought we had a good lesson regardless. I'm looking forward to more lessons with Ruth in the future!

Daniel provides a structured approach for people who are beginner non-native Swahili users. He provides written material for homework which is a real bonus! In our introductory meeting, Daniel was easy to understand and personable. I am looking forward to our lessons.

I had a one off lesson with Marietta to help me with the lyrics of a Kenyan song I am teaching to my class. Marietta was so friendly, patient and personable, and it was really enjoyable to learn with her. She was able to teach me exactly what I needed to learn. From the short time I spent with her, she is clearly very passionate about teaching Swahili. I highly recommend Marietta if you want to learn Swahili. Thank you so much Marietta!

I enjoy my classes with Mwalimu Marietta so very much! At this point, I think what i need is some type of review and applying the material by 1- listening to dialogues that utilize the language I've had in my courses, and 2- utilizing that same language to practice short dialogues during the class. Thank you.

Online Classes FAQ
Q1. Why should I learn on AmazingTalker?

AmazingTalker’s one-on-one tutoring services are ideal for everyone who wants to learn efficiently and effectively. We have professional tutors for toddlers, small children, older kids, middle and high school students, and adults of all levels, including tutors for beginner, intermediate and advanced classes.

Our tutoring services can help you improve in all aspects of the language - listening, writing, reading, speaking, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. You can also customize your lesson focus (e.g., a business programs). Whether your goal is to improve your conversation skills for fun, prepare for a test or speak more fluently at work, AmazingTalker's tutors are here to help.
Q2. Who are our tutors?

AmazingTalker handpicks only the best local and international tutors.

Each prospective instructor must undergo a rigorous selection process before becoming an AT tutor, after which their performance is constantly monitored. Try a class and start learning today.
Q3. How do I choose my tutor?

If you have a clear idea of your criteria for choosing a tutor - such as any specific learning objectives, target cost for tutoring, etc. - you can use the search function to quickly find a tutor who suits your needs, and select “book trial” to set up your first online lesson.

If you don't have time to find a tutor or aren't sure where to start, we can help with recommendations. Try using our tutor recommendation tool here, which will provide you with tutor matches according to your selected needs.
Q4. What's the right learning environment for me? Should I choose a tutor who is a native speaker?

One of the best ways to learn is to immerse yourself in an environment where you try to use only .

However, if you do not currently have a solid base in spelling and/or vocabulary, we recommend you choose a bilingual tutor who speaks your target language and your native language, as you will likely have a better learning experience during your one-on-one private tutoring.

If you have a good range of vocabulary but lack the opportunity to practice, then we recommend you choose a native tutor.
Q5. Learn in the US - how do I find a local or online tutor?

You're in the right place. We have local tutors serving New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and most other areas nationwide, as well as numerous tutors based internationally.
Q6. How much will my online class cost?

All tuition fees are set by our tutors themselves, not by AT. For reference, most of our tutors charge roughly CAD$12-38 per hour.

You can also get tutor matches that fit specific budgets. If a given tutor’s fees work for you, you can buy a package of lessons or start with a trial class by selecting “book trial.”
Q7. How do I pay for my lessons?

You can pay with PayPal or credit card (American Express, Mastercard, or Visa). For certain international markets (e.g. Taiwan), we also accept local methods of payment, such as payment via ATM or convenience store.
Q8. How many lessons should I purchase?

If you have a short term goal, we recommend you purchase enough lessons that you can take classes consistently within your timeframe. If you need significant improvement to reach your goal, we recommend you an adequate number of lessons, and get into the habit of regular weekly learning! The more you put in, the more you get out of it!
Q9. What if I have more questions?

Our FAQs page should have answers to most of your questions. If you can't find the answer to your question on the FAQs page, you can contact us by clicking the red question mark (?) icon at the bottom right of your screen.
