Hi Friend,
My name is Miriam K. and I am from Nairobi, Kenya. I am TESOL-certified, native English, Swahili, and Kikuyu teacher keen on sharing my knowledge and love for languages.
I've been speaking these 3 languages for many years and it would bring me great joy to share these skills with you. Book a trial lesson with me today and embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Thank you!

Me as a Teacher
I'm looking forward to sharing my love and knowledge of English, Swahili, and Gikuyu.
Hopefully, after we have interacted, you will be able to speak, read and write confidently in English, Swahili, and Kikuyu. See you soon!
My lessons & teaching style
My style is mostly conversational. I am interested in my students learning how to have everyday conversations in English, Kikuyu, or Swahili and eventually how to read and write.
All this is done with the student's priorities and preferences in mind.
It is doable. It is possible. It is within grasp with patience and lots of enthusiasm.

Miriam provides excellent structure for our lessons and has done a great job starting me off on this beautiful language. I have zero experience with Swahili and she has shown incredible patience for my lack of talent, and I look forward to my next lesson with her.

Miriam is fantastic as always! She has done a wonderful job bringing me through the very beginning stages of Swahili, from knowing absolutely nothing about the language to now where I can form very basic sentences. She keeps our lessons very focused and productive for the entire duration. As always, looking forward to our next meeting!
