Born and raised in Sweden, I came to the United States after high school to compete in Track and Field.
I spent my teaching career in America teaching physical education, special education, ELA, and ESL. I work as a Swedish teacher for a language institute and I design my own Swedish curriculum.
My passions besides languages are athletics and my hobbies, to name a few: swimming, table tennis, badminton, snowshoeing, traveling, reading, and spending time on the beach with my shih-poo Luna. I love to work out and have run hard almost every day since I was 14. I did the 800 and 1500 m for the Swedish national team in Finnkampen and the European Indoor Championship.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
Teaching to me is an art more so than a science! I teach, I support, I coach, and I care for you! I want to see progress and fast! I also want to see you have fun and gain real confidence in speaking Swedish. My teaching style is professional with attention to details, yet relaxed, and I individualize all lessons for you.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I want you to feel comfortable in our lessons and productive! I teach a structured, yet more or less a whole language approach; that is personalized to your goals, dreams, personality, interests, motivation and style. I always aim for interactive lessons that energize and inspire you. After each lesson, I create homework assignments for you!! I also use AI to assist in individualizing your homework.

I highly, highly recommend Birger as a Swedish teacher! He is one of the best teachers I have ever had (and I have done a lot of schooling). Birger has a wealth of teaching experience and exceptional content expertise. He is very professional and down to earth at the same time. When I bring up any challenges and goals, he listens carefully and immediately provides very helpful guidance, high yield resources, and morale support. I have been taking weekly lessons for a couple months, and native Swedish speakers have been very impressed with my progress. Many thanks to Birger!

Birger is a very nice and patient teacher. He always comes up with topics to keep the conversation going and prepares for the lessons. I feel comfortable to practice my oral Swedish in his class!
