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.

Me as a Teacher
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.
My lessons & teaching style
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.

Had a great lesson with Birger and it seems like he will be able to help me fill in the gaps in my knowledge after learning mostly by myself for awhile.

Det var en riktigt trevlig provlektion. Birger frågade om mål och gjorde en plan för att fokusera på vad jag behöver för att förbättra min språknivå. Jag ser fram emot våra framtida lektioner.

Tack för ditt tålamod med mig. Jag ska försöka vara bättre förberedd nästa gång. Om du har ett ämne du vill prata om, låt mig bara veta, eller skicka mig en artikel om det, så att jag kan förbereda frågor och svar. Bästa hälsningar.

Det var en jättetrevlig första lektion med Birger. Han visade stort tålamod och ställde många frågor, vilket gjorde lektionen både engagerande och lärorik. Dessutom föreslog han flera alternativa planer för de kommande lektionerna, anpassade efter mina behov och mål :)
