About Jacobo
My name is JACOB BWIRE, and I am a native Swahili speaker born and raised in Tanzania.
I have been living in Tanzania for 22 years and I am passionate about helping foreigners truly connect with Tanzanian people through language.
Why learn with me?
I am 100% native, I know both Kiswahili Sanifu and the real street Swahili (lugha ya mtaani) that we use every day.
I am patient and friendly. I understand that learning a new language is hard. I will make you feel comfortable and confident.
I have experience teaching expats living in Mikocheni, Zanzibar, Arusha and Oysterbay.
I speak Swahili (native) and English (fluent), so I can explain everything clearly in English when you need help.
When I am not teaching, I love football, exploring new restaurants in Dar and Zanzibar, and meeting new people.
I can't wait to meet you and help you speak Swahili! (Karibu sana) you're welcome to my class

Do you want to speak REAL Swahili that people actually use in Tanzania and Africa?
I don't teach boring textbook Swahili. I teach you the Swahili you need for real life.
You will learn how to:
- Greet and chat with your neighbors, driver, and house help
- Order food, shop at Kariakoo or Arusha, and take daladala with confidence
- Understand street slang (lugha ya mtaani) and culture
- Speak at work and make Tanzanian friends
My teaching method:
I use 80% conversation and 20% grammar. We will start speaking from our first lesson. I use role-plays, games, and real-life dialogues - no boring memorization.
I create a custom plan for YOU. Whether you are a complete beginner, an expat living in Masaki, or you want to talk to your Tanzanian partner's family - I will adapt.
What my students get
- PDF notes after each lesson
- Audio for pronunciation
- WhatsApp support during the week for questions
- Homework that is actually fun
In just 10 lessons you will be able to have a simple conversation with any Tanzanian.
