Mwarimu: The Teacher
Ũhoro? I'm
Teacher Wanjiku
I teach beginner-friendly Gĩkũyũ and Kiswahili lessons online to children and adults in Kenya and across the diaspora. I have been a teacher for six years, guiding learners of different ages and backgrounds to achieve their language goals. As a certified teacher, I believe that learning should be engaging, practical, and enjoyable. Every student learns differently, and I take time to understand each learner's needs so that every lesson is meaningful and effective.
Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, prepare for exams, teach your children their heritage language, or communicate more confidently in everyday life, I will guide you every step of the way. Let's Learn Together
Every class blends language with culture: proverbs, traditions, and everyday conversation, so what you learn actually sticks, and more importantly, means something to you.
My teaching approach
How lessons work
Each lesson is designed to build confidence and genuine connection to the language and culture.
Speak first
Every lesson starts with speaking. You'll say real phrases from minute one. Never stuck on theory.
Stories & proverbs
Traditional stories and proverbs bring language to life, making vocabulary easy to remember and meaningful.
Review & build
Each lesson revisits previous material in new contexts so it sticks in long-term memory.
