About Me
italki teacher since Oct 24, 2022
InterestsTravelFilms & TV SeriesFood
I am a Masters student residing in the Czech Republic, but grew up in a small Danish town. My interests include cinema, travelling, and (in proper Danish fashion) building LEGO. I am passionate about other languages and cultures - I spent four years studying in Scotland, as well as a year in Mexico. As a result, I am proficient in both English and Spanish and can use both as the teaching language in my lessons.

Me as a Teacher
I approach my interactions with students as I would any friend or family member: in a stress-free and relaxed environment allowing for casual conversation on any topic. I am very patient and adapt easily to individual student needs.
Please note that I currently do not teach children.
My lessons & teaching style
I set a pace and direction that you are comfortable with, and I will offer you corrections and suggestions. The focus of a lesson can be concrete issues of grammar and pronunciation, or we can simply have a relaxing chat about life and culture.

Mads is the best language teacher I have ever met.
His incredible communication and explanation skills created an atmosphere of trust that made our lessons very productive.
His kind and attentive approach to teaching helped me stay focused and understand topics that were beyond my reach before.
Mads' excellent adaptability allowed us to structure and explore complicated systems, such as Danish sounds.
I can definitely recommend Mads to any student who wants to improve their Danish.

I have had a few lessons with Mads already and I am very happy with both my progress and the work we have done together. I do not feel my Danish study time as an effort but rather as something I look forward to. He makes every class interesting and safe to practice your Danish.

Mads is an excellent teacher that goes the extra mile to help you. He is very professional and caring. His adaptable teaching style and empathy ensures that all the students receive the best possible instruction, by being exposed to a plethora of teaching strategies. His English is on par with any native speaker I know, and his Danish is very clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend Mads to anyone who wants to succeed in learning Danish.

Always a great time learning with Mads! Patient, encouraging, and helps out with missing vocabulary when I’m trying to express myself in Danish! One of the best teacher on italki, with well rounded and all encompassing lessons!

Mads is an awesome teacher! He speaks in a way that is easy to follow and process, and gives time for you to figure out your response. He’s also very good at sharing Danish culture as well, and easily answers culture questions as they come up in conversations. The best Danish teacher! Highly recommended!
