About Me
italki teacher since Jan 4, 2025InterestsArtMusicTravelReadingWriting
Native Swedish speaker living in Bucharest. I’ve had a love for words, rhymes and languages since I was a child, and I studied several languages at university. For the last few years I’ve been teaching Swedish as a second language while taking care of my small children. I like meeting new people and having long conversations.Me as a Teacher
I really like to help other people out, and it means a lot to me when I can help someone get a clear idea of something they had struggled to understand. I try to listen to my students and take their suggestions into account. Often the lessons become quite personalised and it feels like we have designed them together. My students say that I’m friendly, patient, knowledgeable and good at explaining fine nuances of meaning.My lessons & teaching style
Most of my lessons involve a lot of conversation. It can be both small talk, personal, or a discussion on a specific / prepared topic depending on what the student wants to focus on. I usually take notes during the conversation about things we need to practise further, and write corrections so that the student can improve their language without interrupting their flow of speech. I can also take a structured approach to teaching when desired, especially while teaching grammar. My students and I usually work in a shared document, which contains sections at the top with topics in grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, and notes from our conversations below.My teaching material
