About Me
italki teacher since May 14, 2020
I grew up in Sweden in an American family, speaking both languages as my mother tongue.
I love learning foreign languages. I am fluent in Japanese and currently learning Cantonese. I did my Bachelor's degree in Japan where I studied linguistics and language education, as well as worked at an international language school for a year and half. Learning about language teaching methodologies while simultaneously learning a second language was a truly enriching experience and has been extremely helpful when tutoring others.
Other than language, I love travel, literature and art.
Me as a Teacher
With me you will be exposed to language appropriate to your level while being increasingly challenged as your level progresses. Our lessons can be both fun and challenging, and will be adjusted to your goals. I believe having a good time is the most important thing when learning a language, so we can talk about your interests, books and movies you like, or anything you want. You can bring any material you like, such as media you enjoy or other learning materials, and we can use it to learn from it by for example looking at vocabulary, pronunciation and context.
My lessons & teaching style
I will start by having a conversation about what you want to learn (you can also send requests in advance in a message!) so I can get to know you, design our lessons as well as judge your level. Depending on your requests and areas you need to work on, we can do both conversational classes or focused practice in areas such as listening, reading or pronunciation.
Being an experienced language learner and tutor, I will also be able to give you advice for self study and staying motivated.
In class we can do
- Conversation practice
- Free conversation
- Reading
- Grammar
- Listening
- Pronunciation practice
- Test preparation
and more!

Even though I hadn't taken a lesson in a long time, the teacher welcomed me comfortably. So I was very motivated. The lesson was a short time of 30 minutes, but I had a very meaningful time. Thank you, italki, for letting me meet such a good teacher. Tack!
久しぶりにレッスンを受けたにも関わらず、先生は気持ちよく迎えてくれました。なので、私はとてもやる気になりました。レッスンは、30分と言う短い時間でしたが、とても有意義な時間を過ごせました。italkiさん、いい先生に巡り会わせてくださりありがとうございました。

Heather is a fantastic teacher. I came to her with almost no Swedish knowledge, and in half a year she helped me achieve my goals of understanding most of the spoken language and start speaking myself. She had a very methodical approach of first giving me all the necessary grammar and resources, and then we spent a lot of time practicing spoken language and hearing comprehension. Most importantly, none of our lessons were boring, it is the rare case when an entire hour would go unnoticed for me while doing a learning activity. Thank you, Heather!
