About Me
italki teacher since Aug 8, 2017Interest topicArtPets & AnimalsWritingScienceSports & Fitness
At my core, I am a devoted Norwegian teacher. My world is imbued with the harmonies of music, the imagery of photography, the thrill of athleticism, and the companionship of my beloved cat, Nikos. However, it's the intricate tapestry of the Norwegian language that genuinely forms my essence. For years, I've immersed myself in the joy of teaching Norwegian, believing that sharing its subtleties, its rich history, and its captivating beauty goes beyond a mere profession—it's a vocation. Each lesson is a chance not just to teach, but to engage more deeply, to spark a curiosity that can ignite a lasting appreciation for the sophistication and charm inherent in Norwegian culture and language.Me as a Teacher
Describing oneself objectively can be a challenge, so often, I let my students paint that picture. However, reflecting on my school days, I distinctly remember my aversion to those intimidating, results-driven teachers—the ones we might all recall with a shudder. Yet, it was always the educators with a blend of humor, patience, and empathy who left an indelible mark. Whether or not I mastered the subjects they taught, I fondly think of these individuals as "HYGGELIG." While dictionaries might define this Norwegian term as "pleasant" or "cozy," its essence captures so much more. It's a feeling that transcends mere words :)My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style varies from very informal – unstructured and unprepared conversation about anything, to structured – where we have a clear goal e.g. gaining vocabulary, learning certain grammar topics, test preparation. All depending on the student's preferences!
However, there is one thing that I consider to be crucial in all my teaching – good mood, humor and relaxed atmosphere!My teaching material

Luca's style is one that puts you at ease so you can learn in a comfortable way, which I believe is the reason that I am now able to hold longer conversations each class and my confidence is through the roof--thanks to the style of Luca.
Jeg kan snakker norsk! Takk nemlighet Luca.
Takk nemlighet.

I've been meeting with Luca for a few years now and can't recommend him enough! He's a very genuine and engaged person, an excellent teacher, and a great friend. He has been a crucial part of my Norwegian language learning journey and I look forward to many more lessons with him.
