    Learn Swedish with a trained linguist!

    About me

    I am a trained linguist with extensive experience in second language learning. My method is based on creating natural speech environments where the student can improve their language in individual ways. I myself have learned several languages on my own by focusing on a small set of simple methods.


    At the moment, I am focussing on students who have a clear goal that they want to reach, or who need help formulating a goal and sticking to a plan. If you are looking for a conversation partner, I'm not your tutor! My role is to provide a clear pathway for you when you want to take your Swedish to the next level.


    In my classes we use a natural language environment where we talk about everyday things, politics, interests and dreams. In the meantime, we will improve patterns and learn grammar in a natural way.


    I have 8+ years of experience as a private tutor, with a great track record of leading students to a higher proficiency in a short time.


    I have guided students to successfully pass the TISUS exam (C2 level), the Swedish YKI exam (B1), as well as Folkuniversitetet (A2/B1 and B2/C1)


    In my classes, we create discussion topics that are close to the real-world interactions that you will have. In the classes, we work with both visual material, reading material, practice worksheets and a log that tracks the progress over time.


    As I am staying up to date with the latest research in language acquisition, I will share methods that are scientifically proven to maximize your learning potential!


    Do you live in Sweden or are planning to move here? Are you ready to take a leap in your learning curve?


    Join my classes where we create natural speech environments to enhance your language skills. With 8+ years of experience and proven methods, I'll guide you to the next level of Swedish proficiency. Let's have engaging conversations and track your progress together.


    In our first class (25 minutes) - we will get to know each other and find a methodology that works with supporting your goal.

    My specialties

    Swedish for beginners

    I have a method for starting from scratch including a plan for retaining vocabulary in between lessons.

    Intensive Swedish

    If you have test coming up or want to prepare for an interview, this is suitable for you.

    Business Swedish

    I have made study plans specifically for students that are CEO's and want to run their business in Swedish, CTO's that need to explain technical details in meetings, entrepreneur that want to speak about their business, as well as managers in the banking sector.

    Swedish Literature

    I have an interest in literature and often use Swedish classics or crime novels to discuss in classes, sometimes even to intermediate speakers, using simplified versions of popular books as a study guide and vocabulary building.
