Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I’m a goal-oriented teacher dedicated to helping you progress — no matter your current level. My focus is on building communication strategies for real-world situations through input and practice.
I tend to adjust the input to the learners interest and goals, but right now, I am interested in texts and audio that highly reflects how the language is used naturally.
I use research-based learning strategies designed to accelerate your development and make your study time more effective. Each class involves exercises that reflect how the language is actually used. This balance of structure and communication ensures steady, measurable progress.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I follow a method that is centered around communication and fluency, combined with explicit learning for grammar, or non-intuitive elements. So it's based on conversation and creating awareness of the language, using natural input.
Often, I will be part conversation partner and part coach, offering personalized guidance to help you take your Swedish to the next level.
Why learn with me?
✅ I have a track record of helping students progress from absolute beginners to A2 level within just a few months.
✅ I have guided students to pass the TISUS test (C2 level), the YKI citizenship test (B1) and Folkuniversitetet (B2/C1)
✅ I was recognized as the highest-rated live tutor on Duolingo in 2019.

Tom is an outstanding teacher. I am so lucky to have found him. I am a linguist, polyglot and work on langauge learning for more than 8 years, and I can say he is definitely a hidden gem on Italki. If you want to improve fast in a really fun way, he is the guy!
