I am a Luganda language instructor with over a decade of teaching experience. I have a great passion for teaching and love to help my students learn the language and culture of Uganda. Children are particularly close to my heart, and I derive immense satisfaction from seeing them learn and grow. In addition to my love of teaching, I am also an avid explorer of new ideas and innovations. I am always on the lookout for new teaching methods and techniques that can help me to better engage my students and make the learning process more enjoyable. One of my other passions is travelling. I believe that travel is a great way to broaden the mind and gain a deeper understanding of different cultures. I have been fortunate enough to travel extensively throughout Uganda and some parts of East Africa. These experiences have given me a unique perspective on the world and helped me to become a more empathetic and understanding teacher.
