Hi!
My name is Elisabeth and I am a native Norwegian speaker from Kristiansand, Norway. I have been tutoring for more than 10 years and I love teaching Norwegian as a second language. I started out teaching on Preply, but recently transferred to Italki, and I love it! I have traveled and lived all over the world, and most recently spent the last 20 years in the United States. I have an MA in Psychology and Counseling, BA's in pre-medicine, bioPolitical Science, and I am working on my MA in Political Science and Theology.
Me as a Teacher
I teach both individual lessons and intensive courses in Norwegian. I do not have a single approach to teaching because all of my students are different, but they all do very well on the language exams and on the citizenship test. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, I will adapt my teaching style to your needs. During our first lesson I try to get to know you a little bit better and understand how you best learn, and then we decide on an approach together. I often use a textbook when I teach, combined with online exercises and quizzes, but I am flexible and willing to work with your learning style. I hope to see you in class!
My lessons & teaching style
I am currently accepting new students for Norwegian intensive courses for levels A1, A2 and B1-B2. The courses run for for 6 weeks, 9 hours a week, and it starts on October 5th.
I have loved teaching and coaching all of my life. I grew up in elite gymnastics and coached gymnastics for more than 10 years. I have tutored students in most academic subjects, and I want you to succeed and reach your goals! My hope is that you will have fun, build your confidence, and grow to love the Norwegian language and our culture! If you have any questions, feel free to message me, and if not, I hope to see you in my class!
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!
