My name is Joshua Mshani, I was born and grown up in Tanzania. I'm a Swahili teacher certified by the National Kiswahili Council of Tanzania (BAKITA) to teach Swahili language and culture to foreigners. I have been teaching Swahili for more than seven years now, both face to face and online classes. I have been teaching individual students and those who are under different institutions, such as tourists, Embassy staffs (diplomats), business men, and those who are coming as for settlements. For example I have taught Polish ambassador in Tanzania and other staffs, Norwegian Ambassador in Tanzania and other staffs , UN staffs, banks staffs such as First National Bank (FNB), Standard Chartered, International School of Tanganyika (IST), CCBRT hospital, DFID, European Union, GIZ, Fillip Morris International, SOAS university of London students and so many others. I teach Swahili all levels Beginner, intermediate, High intermediate and Advance. In my teaching First thing I normally try to know the level of the student. When I know the levels is when how and where start the lesson. To know the level of the student I have the list of topics for all levels, for that I will start the conversations based on the topics until I know the level. The style of teaching will always vary depending on the level and sometimes the learning speed of students. Example I teach grammar, I use reading stories, story picture, Audio and sometimes going to the related place of the lesson concern. Example going to the marked for the lesson of buying and selling and Cultural things.

I am a passionate teacher and educator. I have been a teacher of the Swahili/English language for over 20 years. Due to my interests in perfecting both my spoken and writing skills, I am a voracious reader, a prolific writer and a keen listener to the BBC. I am offering myself as a potential online teacher as a result of my realization that there is a gap between the demand for perfect English/Swahili language tutors and the global need for the services. I am a highly responsive and innovative teacher gifted with the ability to communicate eloquently. I am also able to engage my students and retain their attention for considerably long periods due to the interactive nature of my teaching. I often pay particular attention to the specific needs of my students so that I can adjust my mode of instruction and delivery to suit their unique individual challenges. My classroom experience spans over 20 years of successful hands-on dealing with first-time learners of the English language. I, therefore, wish to expand my tutoring horizons by being a virtual teacher. Besides, being a teacher, I am a proficient copywriter with undiluted confidence in my research skills and intuition for producing content that grabs attention, helps people and builds trust. As your tutor, I’ll think of creative ways of improving your learning experience by bringing initiative, drive, and creativity into your lessons. I am very passionate about teaching, having been a tutor of the English/Swahili languages for the last 25 years. From my many years of practical teaching, I have evolved a teaching style that is compelling and thought-provoking because I am gifted with excellent English language speaking and writing skills whose basis is an insightful and exceptional power of communicating ideas succinctly. My top priority will be to create an interactive learning environment in which there is a strong feeling of community and a high sense of professionalism. By applying creative and engaging approaches infused with a warm and friendly tone, I'll strive to ensure that my students get the best results from all the available collaborative tools. Lastly, I'll make every effort to be a good time manager apart from being flexible and open to all sorts of feedback. To achieve your learning objectives, I'll observe the philosophy of being a guide on the side, not a sage on the stage.

Teaching is my great passion. The joy it brings when I help someone learn and speak Swahili is incomparable to anything else. I am committed to helping my students of different backgrounds and age groups; beginners to those who have advanced knowledge of Swahili, young ones in age and older ones but young at heart and are willing and ready to learn.
