About Me
italki teacher since Jan 18, 2024InterestsScienceSports & FitnessPets & AnimalsArtMedical & Healthcare
Hei! I’m Elisabeth, a native Norwegian tutor from Kristiansand. I’ve lived in the U.S. for over 20 years, studied in Belarus and Greece, and hold degrees in biology, political science, and counseling. I’m currently pursuing medicine.
I offer fast-track, structured Norwegian courses from A1–B2, combining grammar, speaking, and cultural context. This approach works especially well for Norskprøven, relocation, or professional use. I use proven methods that help vocabulary and patterns truly stick.
We’ll review your goals together and create the most effective path to fluency for you.
Vi snakkes!Me as a Teacher
I have traveled extensively around the world and love meeting new students while learning about different cultures. I primarily teach Americans who plan to work or study in Norway, but I welcome students of any nationality.
I tailor my teaching to each student’s level and learning style, whether beginner or advanced. In my intensive courses, I usually use Sett i gang I and II, combined with online exercises, quizzes, and exam-style tasks. I adapt the materials to each student’s needs and always welcome feedback. My lessons & teaching style
I am currently accepting new students for intensive Norwegian courses at levels A1, A2, and B1. You can choose between a mini-intensive course (22 hours) or a full-intensive course (45 hours). Most students study between 1.5 and 3 hours per week. I primarily teach American students, but the course is suitable for any learner, regardless of background.
My goal is to help you build fluency and confidence while gaining insight into the Norwegian language and culture. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message — I would be happy to hear from you. Vi sees!My teaching material

Does an excellent job of correcting pronunciation errors and adding in supporting vocabulary. Gives great details about how cadence works between different languages.

Elisabeth is a fantastic teacher! She explains the concepts very clearly and systematically and is great at providing useful examples to help further my knowledge. I would definitely recommend her to any student wanting to learn Norwegian at any level!

The teacher cancelled the lesson on me, saying that she doesn't have room for any new individual students. For some reason, italki did not stop me from booking with her.. and I feel that a change needs to be made to the italki system to more clearly display teachers' real availabilities. now I am waiting for a refund.

Det var en veldig inspirerende lekse. Elisabeth hjalp meg med flere tips til et jobbintervju på norsk. Takk for det!
