I’ve been taking Swahili lessons with Nairobi Swahili for almost 4 years. What I like about learning with them  is that they adapt the  teaching style  to your wants and needs. They can do formal grammar lessons with homework if you like that, or focus more on conversation if you like things a bit more casual. In my lessons, we always do 20-30 mins of conversation at the beginning, which I’ve found very useful in practicing speaking and listening. They are also very receptive to teaching whatever you are struggling with. Often, I hear something on the street or in a song and bring it up and they help me understand. This also helps the information “stick” because it relates to my life! They are creative with lessons too — sometimes we read stories or tahe newspaper or listen to a song. I’m not fluent yet, but I can understand a lot of Swahili these days and express myself. I’d definitely recommend you try a lesson!
