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.

The lessons are always so good. Jørgen is working with me to get me to be able to speak more which is a very good thing. It's what I want to be able to do - listen and have conversation. Good use is made of every minute of class time.

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!

It's always well-structured with different exercises, pronunciation practice, reading, and brief conversation (since I'm still a beginner) We move at a good pace so we cover a lot. Even though it's challenging, I always learn and it's always very enjoyable because of Jørgen.

One of the many reasons that class is enjoyable is because Jørgen leads me in the learning process and keeps us on track. Without instruction, it can be difficult to know what to study and how much to focus on grammar, listening, speaking, etc. One of the many benefits of having an instructor is that you can focus on the material being taught rather than trying to figure out what to learn and in what order to learn things. My brain feels tired after class because we are working on many different things and I'm constantly being challenged. So it is a good use of time. Also, the instructor makes sure we use the time wisely which I very much appreciate.
