About Me
italki teacher since Jun 25, 2023Interest topicMusicArtTravel
I see myself as a humanitarian and an artist. I love music, I love photography, I'm open-minded and passionate about languages, cultures and the ways of human community and relationships.
Learning new languages taught me to see and experience the world in so many new ways, through the eyes of other people with whom I otherwise wouldn't have been able to connect with on a deeper level.
Language gave me the gift of making new friendships and knowing new cultures, and also getting to know myself better, by flowing with the process. This is the gift I would like to pass on to you in class!
Remember: Something difficult is not difficult BECAUSE it's difficult, rather because it's NEW.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, my approach to language learning is based on my own experience of learning foreign languages as an adult. I have a good ear and have always been good with languages.
I offer insights into Norwegian culture and social ways whilst being a curious, patient, open friend whom loves conversation.
The gift of language and the process of progressively mastering a new language is of the greatest joy to me. You will feel that in my classes, where I bring a positive mindset, motivation and perspective on the journey of learning a new language.
I have a holistic viewpoint on things, value human connection, love storytelling.
I like to create a relaxed atmosphere in class.My lessons & teaching style
When I learned Spanish and Portuguese, I had conversations with the taxi drivers in Colombia, and the sugarcane-juice vendors in Brazil, and the small restaurant owners in Argentina. Little by little becoming less afraid to make mistakes, and so learning even quicker.
Many of us are so afraid of making mistakes, but this is inevitable when learning a (to us) new language, different from our native language. And frankly it´s quite unreasonable to not permit ourselves to make mistakes, when we learn a COMPLETELY different language than our mothers tongue, right?!
Let's be nice and patient with ourselves and be content with where we are at each stage..

Sebastian is an awesome teacher! He's very encouraging and patient, and it's clear that he really cares about his students. He types out notes during the lesson so you can have them to refer to afterwards, which is super helpful. It's not easy earning a new language, but people like Sebastian make the journey so much less stressful! I always look forward to our lessons.

I am very happy to have Sebastian as my Norwegian teacher! I would even call him more as great "pen friend", with whom I can discuss anything, laugh and tell funny stories, but who will at the same time correct me and help with the language. Sebastian is a very patient, very motivating and warm person, and having our classes is a great fun for me.
I've spent quite some time searching for a Norwegian tutor who I'd like, and Sebastian is like that, especially if you have A2-B1 in Norwegian and need a speaking practice!

The teaching method is top-notch, first lesson I was already able to describe a scene. We looked at a picture and described what was happening. Great Teacher!!!!

Awesome first session with Sebastian, tusen takk! I'm a beginner with very few vocabulary but I felt super engaged and motivated. I have also a LOT of written feedback to check later on. It's quite obvious that Sebastian is super skilled at creating a stress free learning environment and learning process. Vi snakkes snart!
