About me - English
I’m Erik Lundvik, a native Swedish speaker and TEFL-certified educator living in Thailand. With years of experience teaching both Swedish and English, I focus on helping learners build confidence through real conversations from day one. My teaching style is patient, clear, and practical—I believe mistakes are part of the journey, and I create a supportive environment where curiosity thrives.
Beyond teaching, I’m also a single father raising my son on Koh Chang. That role has shaped me into someone resourceful, adaptable, and deeply committed to guiding others with patience and encouragement. Whether in the classroom or at home, I value communication, cultural exchange, and building skills that last.
Qualifications & Experience
Native Swedish speaker, TEFL-certified in Bangkok. Teaching Swedish & English in Thailand since 2019 with a focus on real conversation and confidence. Background in economics, management, and leadership, bringing patience, clarity, and adaptability to every lesson
Teaching Approach
My teaching methodology is built around the idea of speaking to talk. From the very first lesson, I encourage learners to use Swedish or English actively in real conversations. Instead of memorizing lists or focusing only on grammar, I guide students to speak naturally, make mistakes, and build confidence through practice. Every session is interactive, practical, and tailored to the learner’s goals, so they can start communicating right away and enjoy the process of learning.
