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. 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 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 ...

Bill had a very good approach in terms of trial lesson, that is he ensured I got the most out of it from the start. He carefully took notes throughout the entire conversation pointing to some problems I wasn't even aware of. The plan he quickly drafted was very comprehensive, but not overwhelming and he checked back with me on every point he added, to confirm that we are both on the same page. I'm very satisfied and can't wait to continue working with him!

The lesson with Bill was enjoyable, as always! This lesson, we went through and corrected piece of writing that I wrote earlier together and also had a chat about my trip to Norway. I liked that he allowed me to try and correct my own mistakes first before telling me the answer. He helped me in speaking more confidently by guiding me in converting my complex thoughts into more simplified sentences that I can actually say in Norwegian. He's good at keeping the conversation going as well, and I appreciate him always giving me helpful feedback after each lesson. Thank you!
