About me - English
I believe that every language you speak teaches you to view the world through a different lens. I see language learning as the best exercise for my brain. As a teenager, I could spend hours finding new materials to learn German. Then I was obsessed with Scandinavia and mastered Norwegian. I have travelled and lived abroad for many years and I love learning about new cultures, getting to know new people and exploring new places.
Qualifications & Experience
I am a language tutor with many years of experience. I started already in high school, helping other kids to learn German. Once I mastered German, I decided to learn another language, so I started Scandinavian Studies with a specialisation in the Norwegian language at the University of Gdansk (Poland) and the University College in Telemark (Norway). I have a Bachelor's Degree in Scandinavian Studies. I have also lived and worked in Norway, which allowed me to further improve my Norwegian and get familiar with different dialects.
Teaching Approach
During my online classes, I take into account students' goals and priorities: if you want to focus on conversations - I will prepare conversations on topics that interest you. If you struggle with grammar - I will find exercises that help you understand it better. For me, language learning is fun and I try to make my lessons as exciting as possible so the learning process feels easier and more effective.
