Hei, jeg heter Tora og kommer fra Lofoten i Norge, men jeg bor i England nå.
Jeg er en kreativ, engasjert lærer som elsker språk og kommunikasjon.
Jeg skaper et trygt rom hvor du kan prøve, feile og utvikle deg.Me as a Teacher
My lessons are created with the individual learner in mind. No matter your level, the classes will fit your needs. I can help, advise, recommend, and support, but you have to take the lead
“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.” – Flora Lewis.
I'm here to help you become more fluent, overcome those grammar obstacles, perfect your pronunciation, and learn useful phrases and vocabulary in a fun and relaxed way.
If you're here because you want to learn Norwegian or practice speaking Norwegian, you're in the right place. My lessons & teaching style
I am a Norwegian teacher with many years of experience teaching Norwegian as a second language. I have taught students of all levels, from beginners to advanced, and I adapt my teaching to the individual student's needs and learning styles. My methodology is based on communication, interaction and grammar, where I attach great importance to the students participating in the lessons and having the opportunity to practice Norwegian in authentic situations.
I have a large collection of learning materials that I can draw on for professional sparring and inspiration, and I am always up to date on the latest trends in Norwegian teaching.My teaching material

My first lesson with Tora was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed chatting with her. I told her about my goals and she gave good timeline of when they could be achieved. Already booked my next lesson!

Tora er en veldig god lærer! Hun kan forklare grammatikken på en forståelig måte og har hjulpet meg å utrykke meg bedre allerede.

Den første timen min med Tora var veldig hyggelig. Hun er veldig snill, og jeg følte meg veldig komfortabel. Jeg tror hun kommer til å hjelpe meg veldig godt med å forberede meg til Norskprøven. Jeg gleder meg til neste time!
