Hi! My name is Rahab Kamotho, and I’m so excited you’re here! I’m a passionate Swahili teacher and tutor with several years of experience helping learners from all walks of life fall in love with this beautiful language. But for me, teaching Swahili is more than just vocabulary and grammar—it’s about connection, culture, and joyful communication. I believe language comes alive when it’s lived. That’s why my lessons are not only rich in words but also rich in culture. From lively conversations to cultural insights, music, dance, food, and traditions, I bring the Swahili experience straight to you. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, or just for fun, you’ll feel welcomed, supported, and inspired every step of the way. People often say I’m fun, easygoing, and super accommodating—and I take pride in creating a space where students feel comfortable to be themselves, ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. I center everything around communication because I know that being able to express yourself confidently is the key to truly enjoying a new language. And here’s the best part—I’m just as excited to learn from you as you are to learn from me! I can’t wait to meet you, get to know your story, and explore the beauty of Kiswahili together. Karibu sana! Let’s make this journey unforgettable.
