Brûsk

This was my first lesson with Brusk and I was very impressed. He can very quickly identify your level in Norwegian and can suggest an individual training method. He has a very methodical style using contemporary training material, audio tapes etc and manages to record a great deal of the progress a student is making by highlighting phrases and expressions. His experience is very solid and he has a very nice patient and encouraging manner. I have taken Norwegian lessons in the past with Italki but for two years I have focused on learning French. In my lesson today I was surprised how poorly I was able to speak but after just a short while Brusk had reminded me that I knew a lot more than I was able to convey. I will definitely be continuing my Norwegian Studies with Brusk.

Great first lesson. I shall come back for more! Brusk speaks clearly, and slowly enough for me to understand. We had a good conversation, about things I was interested in. It also stretched my knowledge and use of Kurmancî, which was helpful. He had a good plan, but didn’t stick to it rigorously. Instead he let the conversation continue freely. As My aim is to be able to talk about about anything that interests me, this was a helpful approach. I learned some new words. He corrected my mistakes. It was also helpful to talk to a Kurmancî speaker from Syria, as there are regional,variations, some of which he explained to me. I noticed before booking that Brusk has a small number of students, who obviously come back for more lessons. This, for me, was a far higher recommendation than 5 star reviews, which don’t necessarily mean a lot! I shall be back for more too! (And my 5 stars were genuine - he’s a good teacher from whom I can learn, and I enjoyed talking to him)

Brusk is a very good teacher. He is friendly and personalizes the lessons for each student. He really cares about wether the student gets something out of the lessons or not instead of just "getting it done".

Brusk is an amazing teacher! I really enjoy having Norwegian classes with him

Always a pleasure doing lessons with Brusk - very patient and helpful as always.Tusen takk.

It was an amazing lesson with teacher Brûsk. I learned a lot and the pace was very good. He used everyday examples and asked me to repeat to check my knowledge. I really appreciated the lesson and for sure will book another lesson. Thank you.
