Great so far. Christina is engaging and receptive to helping me steer my rusty Danish. I had an eureka moment in the last lesson, which should definitely help correct basic grammar, which I wasn't really aware of how it worked in Danish, even though I was using it correctly sometimes. Christina is clear in the way that she presents the grammar, and as an English language teacher, I commend her on this, as it's not so easy to do.

Teaching Approach
My first goal is ensuring that you have the opportunity to speak and practice a maximum amount of the time during each lesson.
At starter level we will familiarize ourselves with daily subjects while assimilating useful vocabulary and grammatical principles.
At higher levels, we will only speak the target language. I challenge my students with interesting texts and conversation subjects that help develop fluency and confidence.
Regardless of the level, a strong foreign accent makes communication difficult. I therefore pay special attention to improving and perfecting pronunciation.
