Aspiring language instructor specializing in Kiswahili and translation.
TanzaniaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and passionate language instructor currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Kiswahili at the University of Dar es Salaam. With a strong foundation in both Kiswahili and English, I have developed a keen interest in teaching non-native speakers and facilitating their understanding of the Kiswahili language. My recent experience at the National Kiswahili Council has equipped me with valuable skills in interpretation, translation, proofreading, and online content creation.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have gained practical media experience at Azam Media Limited, where I honed my communication skills and learned the intricacies of media production. I am committed to continuous learning and personal growth, as evidenced by my participation in the German language course at Goethe-Institut. My goal is to leverage my language skills and teaching expertise to contribute positively to educational environments and promote cultural exchange.
