InterestsITHistorySport
✅ Polyglot (9 languages at an intermediate level or higher). ✅ Certified language teacher. ✅ Master's degree in psychology and metalearning specialist. ✅ Versed in leveraging technology to enhance learning. ✅ Flashcards!
My main interest in life is "metalearning" which I define as "learning how to learn and applying that knowledge in different fields". One of those fields for me happen to be language learning. But aside from language learning I have a wide sphere of interests. I enjoy movement practice (strength training, dancing, self-defense etc.), intellectual interests (such as reading, philosophy, programming and psychology) etc. I am a very open person and can talk about anything.
Ik als leerkracht
✅ If you don't speak English, no problem. I can understand Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Japanese. I can teach you Swedish/English/Spanish using these languages (as support languages).
My method is combining psychological science and personal experience in order to build an increasingly complex (nuanced) model for learning languages. Aside from conversing with my students and "intellectualizing" the language (discussing grammar etc.) I like to help the student to start to build his or her own model for learning languages. I want my students to become more and more independent in their learning. I am also a student of psychology at the University of Linköping in Sweden.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is closely linked to my learning style. I think it is important not just to teach the language directly (discussing grammar, vocabulary etc.) and indirectly (through conversation and input) but also teaching the underlying principles of learning languages (and learning in general). In this way the student may become increasingly interdependent. I believe this is the only way for the student to become the master. By becoming better at the "meta" (underlying) of language learning. I want my students to become more effective in their learning and maximize their long-term enjoyment and intrinsic motivation.

Fantastic teacher. Really helpful from the start with grammar, conversational skills and any difficulties I have with any aspect of the language. The flashdecks for study post-lesson have been great for memorising things I'm trying to convey. Makes every lesson fun, relaxed and also interesting, I couldn't recommend more.

EXCELLENT. My lessons with William have been exceptionally high yield and simply phenomenal value for money! He is remarkably resourceful when it comes to language learning (in my case Swedish). I highly recommend a mix of “metalearning” lessons with the standard lessons, particularly when beginning to learn the language. His insights and advice regarding a variety of language learning resources have made a tremendous impact on my progress. Remember to saying “Give a man fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”? - When it comes to language learning William does both… really well.

I thoroughly recommend anyone who wants to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their language learning to take a meta-learning lesson with William.

My lesson with William exceeded all expectations. He could not have been more thoughtful, clear, and edifying. He was able to immediately discern what I hoped for from our session, and take me on a tour of the topics I was interested in with his passion, expertise and attentive listening demonstrated throughout. I will be booking another lesson with him and very much look forward to it. I highly recommend William to those studying a specific lesson and/ or curious about the language learning process its (i.e., "meta-learning") as I am.

William is an excellent instructor who encourages full immersion by having conversations entirely in the target language. His challenging approach keeps students engaged and actively learning. He creates a supportive environment where making mistakes is seen as part of the learning process. After each lesson, William provides personalized flashcard decks and example sentences focusing on areas that need improvement. Highly recommended for anyone serious about language learning!
