Native Swahili Speaker | Swahili-English Translation, Proofreading & Tutoring

I'm a native Swahili speaker based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, fluent in both Coastal/Tanzanian Swahili and East African English. I specialize in Swahili-English translation, proofreading, and conversational Swahili tutoring for learners at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.
With about a year of language teaching experience, I understand how learners struggle and how to explain grammar and vocabulary clearly and patiently. My translation and proofreading work focuses on accuracy, natural phrasing, and cultural appropriateness — not just word-for-word conversion.
I'm detail-oriented, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I take time to understand exactly what a client needs before starting, and I always aim to deliver work that's polished, on time, and ready to use.
Whether you need a document translated, content proofread, or one-on-one Swahili lessons, I bring genuine native fluency and a strong work ethic to every project.

Work Terms

I'm available to work flexible hours and respond to messages promptly, usually within a few hours. Before starting any project, I like to clarify the scope, deadline, and any specific requirements to make sure the final work matches your expectations.
For translation and proofreading work, please share the source text, target audience, and any preferred terminology or style guidelines upfront. For tutoring sessions, let me know your current Swahili level and goals so I can tailor the lessons accordingly.
I communicate clearly throughout a project and welcome revision requests to ensure you're satisfied with the final result. Payment terms and milestones can be discussed and agreed upon before work begins. I value long-term working relationships built on trust, clear communication, and quality delivery.
