Interest topicHistoryArtTravelTechScience
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.
This is just one of the many gifts of learning a new language, and my wish is that you will feel the joy of speaking a foreign language by mastering it naturally and effortlessly.
Remember this;
Something difficult is not difficult BECAUSE it's difficult, it's difficult 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 native language.
Let's be nice and patient with ourselves and be content with where we are at each stage..
You will improve over time!

Jo flere timer jeg har, jo mer merker jeg fremgangen min.
Jeg prøver å finne ting jeg er interessert i, eller som jeg gjerne vil dele, og Sebastian hjelper meg med å gjøre det mer smidig. Han hjelper til med å finne de riktige ordene eller korrigerer litt etterpå. Hvis jeg er i tvil om noe jeg vil si, spør jeg bare ham. Mange av feilene jeg gjorde i begynnelsen, forandrer seg over tid.

I am very new to Norsk, and these lessons are running so smoothly because they feel very natural. It's like we are having a conversation, but he guides me through so I can say what I need to. I love the method of teaching because we often work together to describe what is happening in pictures. I can already describe so much. I feel comfortable with my Norwegian now.

Det var veldig hyggelig å snakke med deg, Sebastian! Du gir god hjelp med ord og grammatikk. Det er nyttig å se de riktige ordene og setningene i chatten. Jeg gleder meg til å snakke neste gang :-)

Had the chance to prepare with Sebastian before my Norskprøve B1 and I was really happy with how patient and nice he was. Additionally, I really appreciated talking to him about my doubts and he was always available for a chat and to answer questions in a timely fashion.
I feel like having speaking session with him helped a lot with my confidence and ability to speak Norwegian. I felt much more relaxed during the actual exam!
Overall, I would 100% recommend him as a teacher!
