Hi! My name is Jakob, and I'm a Danish and English teacher living in Paris. I teach my students by having fun with them, engaging them in the everyday conversations they can actually use and making the language feel comfortable and exciting. Check out my teacher Instagram dansk_med_jakob for a closer look!
I grew up on a small island in the south of Denmark, and moved around the country a lot before finally leaving it. One benefit of moving around like this is how many people have commented on my incredibly neutral dialect. I'd love to pass that on to you!
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English and Danish for 3 and 2 years respectively.
I teach by seeking out the specific goals and interests of my students, so they get to talk about all the things that matter the most to them. A common dogma between language teachers is to harshly demand that only the target language be spoken, and while practice is key, my personal experience show that clarification questions in a more comfortable tongue can go a long way in terms of actual understanding of the subject.
My lessons & teaching style
My classroom is a comfortable space to learn where practicing the target language in speech is the main focus. I use "vi taler dansk" and "Sådan!" as textbook material, and various online resources.

Jeg har haft en fantastisk oplevelse med Jakobs undervisning indtil videre. Samtalerne var interessante, rytmen passede mig godt, og jeg har fået brugbare rettelser til min udtale, grammatik og ordvalg. Jeg kan rigtig godt anbefale hans undervisning.

Jacob er en fantastisk lærer – han er tålmodig og har en fed energi, så det er altid sjovt at have en time med ham :)
Jeg har stor respekt for, hvor godt han forbereder sig til undervisningen – han laver interessante præsentationer om forskellige emner, ofte med links til videoer og artikler online, og det synes jeg er spændende.
I stedet for bare at pege mine fejl ud, får han mig til at tænke over, hvordan man siger noget korrekt, og det hjælper mig med at huske det bedre på længere sigt.
Jeg kan varmt anbefale ham!

Jakob er en fantastisk lærer. Han er altid forberedt med en plan og materialer. Jeg kan godt lide at vi altid har en afslappet snak i starten og i dag havde vi et lille rollespil der var rigtigt sjovt. Jeg glæder mig til det næste.

Segunda clase con Jakob, cada vez me gusta más el idioma danés, y Jakob lo sabe explicar de maravilla. Clases divertidas, valiosas con comprensión de la gramática y también conversación para poner en juego lo visto.

Jakob was patient while I'm correcting my sentences again and again and led me to find right sentences. He spotted the challenge I have and focused on fixing it. Kind and skilled teacher. Thank you!

I am learning Danish to be able to talk with my husband's son. Jakob personalises his teaching and examples to my needs. There hasn't been a lesson without a laugh - it's fun! Jakob is flexible, creative and patient. If I say something wrong, he will work with me till I get it right. I recommend Jakob :)
