Hej! My name is Maria and I come from Göteborg, Sweden.
My educational background includes a BSc in physical geography and a MSc environmental science from the University of Gothenburg. I currently work as an English teacher in China, while pursuing a degree in education with the aim of becoming a certified teacher.
I love learning languages, as each new language I pick up not only lets me communicate, but also immerses me in an entirely new culture, and I hope to help you on your journey to experience Swedish culture through its language.
When booking a lesson, please don't hesitate to request a time slot outside of my schedule as my availability can be quite flexible. Vi ses!
Me as a Teacher
I have 3 years of full-time classroom teaching experience, having taught in a classroom setting for 2 years in Spain and for 1 year in China. I have also tutored students in both Swedish and English as foreign language for multiple years on the side of my university studies.
I have successfully completed the first half of my master's degree in education, and I consistently apply the knowledge I have gained from my university studies to enhance my lesson planning and improve various teaching strategies in my teaching practice.
My lessons & teaching style
When you schedule a conversation lesson, you can either choose a topic you'd like to discuss, or you can leave the topic selection up to me. I will let you know beforehand what topic the lesson will focus on, so that you have time to prepare in order to get the most out of the lesson. Rest assured, I will take into account your current abilities and adjust the pace and complexity of the conversation to match your level. Don't worry if you're a beginner, we all start somewhere!
If you prefer a structured lesson, we can discuss beforehand any specific materials you'd like to use and prioritize addressing any particular language gaps you may have.
Looking forward to meeting you!

I had a great Swedish conversation with Maria. The conversation both pushed the boundaries of my current learning edges in a supportive way and ranged across a wide variety of topics that kept things interesting and organic. I found Maria to be patient and supportive, as wells as knowledgeable and engaged. Thanks!

Maria är jättelätt och rolig att prata med. Jag kände mig genast väldigt bekväm. Vi pratade om några saker vi har gemensamt. Jag ser fram emot att prata igen.
