About Me
italki teacher since Dec 28, 2023Interest topicHistorySports & FitnessEnvironment & NaturePets & AnimalsTravel
Born and raised in Sweden, I came to the United States after high school to compete in Track and Field.
I spent my teaching career in America teaching physical education, special education, ELA, and ESL. I work as a Swedish teacher for a language institute and I design my own Swedish curriculum.
My passions besides languages are athletics and my hobbies, to name a few: swimming, table tennis, badminton, snowshoeing, traveling, reading, and spending time on the beach with my shih-poo Luna. I love to run and I ran hard almost every day since I was 14. I did the 800 and 1500 m for the Swedish national team and ran for my college team - Oral Roberts University.Me as a Teacher
Teaching to me is an art more so than a science! I teach, I support, I coach, and I care for you! I want to see progress and fast! I also want to see you have fun and gain real confidence in speaking Swedish. My teaching style is professional with attention to details, yet sort of relaxed, and I individualize all lessons for you.My lessons & teaching style
I want you to feel comfortable in our lessons and productive! I teach a structured, yet more or less a whole language approach; that is personalized to your goals, dreams, personality, interests, motivation and style. I always aim for interactive lessons that energize and inspire you. After each lesson, I create homework assignments for you!! I use AI to assist in individualizing your homework.My teaching material
