English Teacher
According to our experience, the English skills of the girls vary a lot. Therefore we try to split the classes and group the girls according to their English level.
If you teach basic English to the girls, it is very helpful (but not a must) to speak some words of Swahili to be able to explain in a better way.
We have a set of Swahili-English lessons prepared at the center. You can use this teaching material for your lessons.
Tasks:
- Teach young mothers and girls in English
- Improve English vocabulary of the girls
- Practice simple tense throughout the following times: Past tense, Present Perfect, Present Tense and Future Tense

- Give tests on a regular basis to the girls and young mothers to check their learning progress.
