Teacher with 15 years teaching experience 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 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. 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 students unique needs. 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 15 minutes and then leave the class completely.

Bill lessons are well structured, full of useful advice but at the same time not overwhelming. We work on both pronunciation and grammar. After each lesson Bill sends me a word document with an overview of my mistakes and his corrections. This helps me a lot.

He is very good at identifying the problems you’re having and teaching through a variety of methods. He always comes with a plan for the session but is flexible. The classes are really enjoyable and i have learned a lot!
