*About Me & Why I Teach Swahili*
Hi! My name is frank and I’m from beautiful Kisumu, Kenya by Lake Victoria.
*About me:*
I’m a patient, friendly teacher who loves talking to people. I grew up speaking Kiswahili every day - at home, in market, with friends. So I teach you REAL Swahili that Kenyans and Tanzanians use, not just textbook grammar.
I speak clear English too, so I can explain everything to you simply. No confusion.
*Why I want to teach you:*
I love my language and my culture. Swahili is warm, easy, and connects people.
I want to teach because:
1. *I want the world to know Kenya* - Through our language, you understand our people, food, music, and stories.
2. *I love seeing students grow* - The best feeling for me is when you say your first full Swahili sentence and you smile. I want to give you that confidence.
3. *I enjoy teaching* - I’m patient. I don’t rush you. We learn at your speed, we laugh, and we make mistakes together.
For me, teaching is not just a job. It’s sharing part of my heart and my country with you.
Book a trial lesson and let’s start your Swahili journey together. Karibu sana to my class!
Asante,
Frank

*Why this works:*
1. “Lake Victoria + Kisumu” = you’re real, not fake
2. “I love seeing students grow” = students feel safe with you
3. “Not just a job” = you care = they pay more

Hi [Student Name]!
Thank you for messaging me. My name is Frank and I’m from Kisumu, Kenya.
I saw you want to learn Kiswahili. That’s great!
*About my lesson for you:*
1. *No stress, no grammar books* - We talk from minute 1. You’ll say “Jambo, Habari yako?” in first 5 minutes.
2. *Real Kenyan Swahili* - I teach words people use in market, matatu, hotel. Not textbook Swahili.
3. *Patient teacher* - You can ask me same question 10 times. I explain everything clearly in English too.
4. *Trial lesson 30min = $4* - We meet, I test your level, you speak Swahili. If you like it, you book full $8 hour lesson.
*Next step*: When are you free? I’m available today and tomorrow 7pm-9pm Kenya time.
That’s 12pm-2pm USA time. What time works for you?
I’m excited to help you speak Swahili with confidence.
Karibu sana to my class!
Best,
Frank

*3 Tips to make it work:*
1. Replace [Student Name] with their name. “Hi Sarah!” gets more replies than “Hi!”
2. Send this within 5 minutes of their message. Fast reply = Preply shows you as “Very responsive”
3. Always ask “What time works for you?” at end. Question = they reply.
