Thank you for your interest in me as your conversational partner and mentor on your journey with the German or Swedish language.
I grew up, lived, and worked in Germany for the first 32 years of my life, mainly in the banking and consulting sector.
In 2002, I moved to Sweden, and now live in Dalsland, north of Gothenburg.
My own learning style is not about memorizing grammar rules from books, but about stepping out into the world of the new language. When I moved to Sweden, I learned by listening, joining conversations, and embracing mistakes as part of the process. That’s why I understand the challenges my students face, and I meet them with patience, encouragement, and empathy.Me as a Teacher
While living in Sweden, I have had the privilege to have gathered experience as a teacher for people immigrating to the country (SFI teacher), and also as a teacher for adolescent students at a regular school.
These experiences taught me how important it is to create a safe, encouraging space for learning, where students feel safe and supported rather than judged.
Since I have relocated from Germany to Sweden, I also know a bit or two about the challenges of moving to a new country, starting a new life, including learning a new language and adapting to a new culture and often unspoken rules.My lessons & teaching style
In my view, the best learning experience happens when both the student and the teacher enjoy the process. My mantra: It’s not a competition.
My teaching style is relaxed and stress-free, with the pace always set by you. I am convinced that the most natural way to learn a language is by using it in real conversations.
Children don’t start with grammar, they start with listening, speaking, and repeating. That’s why I focus on helping you speak with confidence and ease, instead of grammar rules.
We use our lessons to bring the language to life through meaningful conversation.
