How you teach
Four formats. Pick your fit.
👤
1-on-1 lessons
You and one student. 30 or 60 minutes. Conversational, focused, and well-paid. Most popular with serious learners.
👥
Group lessons
3–6 students at once. Lower per-student rate, but you earn more per hour total. Good for structured curriculum delivery.
📝
Written coaching
Async. Students send you written Swahili. You correct it and explain. Works over chat — no video calls required.
🎙️
Pronunciation sessions
Focused on accent and flow. Popular with students who already know some Swahili but want to sound natural.
