Born and raised in Sweden, I traveled abroad after high school to study at Oral Roberts University and compete in Track and Field.
I taught physical education, special education, and English Language Arts internationally. Now, I work as a digital nomad, teaching Swedish and English, and have a Swedish Language podcast.
In my free time, I run, swim, go to the gym, shop for clothes, read, and spend time on the beach with my shih-poo Luna. I love to work out, and ran for the Swedish national team in Finnkampen and the European Championship.

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 love to see progress in real metrics! I also want to see you have tons of fun and gain real confidence in speaking Swedish. My teaching style is professional with attention to details, yet relaxed, and I individualize all lessons for you.
My lessons & teaching style
I want you to feel comfortable, confident, 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.

Had a great lesson with Birger and it seems like he will be able to help me fill in the gaps in my knowledge after learning mostly by myself for awhile.

Det var en riktigt trevlig provlektion. Birger frågade om mål och gjorde en plan för att fokusera på vad jag behöver för att förbättra min språknivå. Jag ser fram emot våra framtida lektioner.

Tack för ditt tålamod med mig. Jag ska försöka vara bättre förberedd nästa gång. Om du har ett ämne du vill prata om, låt mig bara veta, eller skicka mig en artikel om det, så att jag kan förbereda frågor och svar. Bästa hälsningar.
