About Me
italki teacher since Dec 28, 2023Interest topicHistorySports & FitnessEnvironment & NaturePets & AnimalsTravel
I grew up in Sweden and 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. Recently, I worked as a Swedish teacher for a language institute and I currently design a Swedish curriculum.
My passion is exercise and my hobbies are so many; for example, 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 ran the 800 and 1500 m for the Swedish national team and before that for my college team - Oral Roberts University.Me as a Teacher
Teaching to me is an art! 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 teach a structured, yet a whole language approach that is personalized to your needs, goals, personality and style. I always aim for interactive lessons that energize and motivate you.My teaching material

I am very fortunate to have met such a great teacher. Birger is incredibly professional and always tailors his lessons to my individual needs. He provides the perfect materials and teaching methods, and his explanations are always clear and concise. He is also very patient and takes the time to correct my pronunciation, which I really appreciate.
I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Swedish!
