Me as a Teacher
I taught over 6000 online lessons in Danish, one-on-one. I started teaching online 10 years ago. Before then, I was teaching English (one-on-one) in China. I passed a lot of long and short courses in teaching and studying techniques. I am supportive and patient, and very understanding, because I study a language myself :) With a well prepared student we change activity every 5 - 10 minutes. I give help with efficient studying techniques. I teach adults :)
My lessons & teaching style
My goal for a lesson is to hear you speak Danish minimum half of the lesson :)
BEGINNERS: The first 6 to 10 lessons we focus on pronunciation and (simple) conversation: questions and answers. I make pronunciation a lot easier with simple phonetics. We start simple conversation from our first lesson. Pronunciation often includes practicing problem sounds, so 2 - 3 weekly lessons are optimal the first 6 lessons.
INTERMEDIATE: We focus on listening and speaking, and sentence building. We have conversation, exercises of all kinds, impromptu, dictation, role plays, you name it. If we identify gaps in your basics, we fill in. I send you a lesson plan with homework after the lesson, same day.

Jørgen came prepared with ideas of resources we could use to achieve my goals, listened to my current level, allowed me to share my own thoughts on what I am missing in terms of language development and provided valuable feedback. I am looking forward to progressing my Danish with his help!

Jorgen is a great teacher, very organized, fast paced lessons. I have learned a lot of Danish with him, quickly. Highly recommend.

Jørgen is really a one-of-a-kind teacher. He is extremely patient, and answers to the million questions I ask explaining whatever is not clear to me in an easy way. I love the effort he puts in the planning of the next lessons and how they are never boring, but super engaging and with feedback.

It is a pleasure to learn Danish with Jørgen. He is a patient teacher, and helps me a lot to improv my pronounciation, by writing very simply the phonetics.
I feel like I have already gained a lot of confidence in trying more often to speak Danish, after only a few classes!
Recommended teacher :)

Jørgen provides structured lessons with lesson materials including reading, writing, listening and pronunciation. He is always patient and engaged throughout the lessons. I would absolutely recommend him to other Danish language students!

I got to speak a lot in class and also received lots of pronunciation corrections which is helpful. I also got to practice speaking (answering and asking questions). This is challenging and good! Jørgen knows how to challenge me. The lesson is not so difficult that I cannot understand. But it's also not easy. My brain is having to work. It is somewhere in between which is perfect.
