About Me
italki teacher since Jan 30, 2025InterestsSports & FitnessBusiness & FinanceMusicArtFilms & TV Series
I am a native 46-year-old Norwegian man. I have closer to two decades of experience teaching Norwegian, both to children and adults. On other plattforms and directly from a language school. Already when I was in my early 20s, I worked as a substitute teacher at middle schools while studying.
I live with my family in Thailand, but spent my first 36 years in Norway. I have an 8-year-old daughter whom I love above everything else on earth. As a person, I am curious and always seeking to learn new things myself.Me as a Teacher
I try to find the best possible way for YOU to walk the path. I enjoy seeing you as an individual grow. My specialty is pronunciation and test preparation. I used to practice music for quite some time and have a keen ear for differences in sounds. Over time I also developed the ability to describe and illustrate how to achieve those sounds to speak correctly.
Over the years I developed dozens of different teaching techniques that cater to the different learning styles. I think one of my strengths is that I see exactly where you’re at and what you are struggling with. I always appreciate honest feedback to make our classes even better. My lessons & teaching style
All my teaching methods have been developed through a decade of trial and error, and even after such a long time, new methods occasionally emerge as a result of teaching. I use method that are targeted at each individual person to maximize learning potensial. In other words there is no program that fits all. Everything that we do have to be rooted in your specific needs and goals.
If you show up late to class I expect a notification. If I hear nothing from you I will wait for 20 minutes and then leave the class completely.My teaching material

Hver time lærer jeg på en ny måte, og du hjelper meg å lære av feilene mine og støtter meg på en veldig oppmuntrende måte. Det er veldig motiverende. Tusen hjertelig takk!

Det var veldig verdifullt å få en oversikt over nivået vårt gjennom en prøveeksamen. Takket være Bill har vi gjort store fremskritt :)

Bill tilpasser undervisningen etter læringsstilen min og gir råd i tråd med dette, noe som er veldig verdifullt for å utvikle språket. Jeg føler meg heldig som har fått muligheten til å lære sammen.

Jeg hadde min første time på italki og begynte med norsktimene igjen etter en pause. Etter eksamen i desember hadde jeg ikke gjort noe norsk, men nå har jeg bestemt meg for å starte på nytt med Bill. Selv om det var den første timen, føler jeg at jeg lærte mye. Han er veldig støttende og gir god veiledning i alle temaer. Jeg gleder meg til å fortsette timene
