Living in Cairo, Egypt

Swedish and English tutor I believe that one of the keys to teaching is providing a learning environment where the student feels comfortable making mistakes and being corrected. I myself have long been an anxious and perfectionist learner, so I really do my best to make my students feel safe and relaxed. My name is Johanna, and I have a MSc in Engineering Physics. What I enjoy most in life is learning—whether it's through reading, documentaries, meaningful conversations, sports, traveling, volunteering, or work. After earning my master's degree, I've relocated to Cairo, Egypt, where I'm experiencing firsthand what it's like to settle in a new country. Before becoming a teacher on italki, I have tutored teenagers in low-income areas in Stockholm, and I have also taught English to Palestinian children as a volunteer. Ever since I was in school, I've enjoyed supporting others in learning and understanding new concepts, and my own experience with learning languages as an adult includes becoming fluent in Russian and Arabic. My lessons focus mainly on speaking. I teach grammar and vocabulary through natural conversation, explaining concepts and providing examples as we go along. I adapt to each student’s goals and preferences—if you prefer a specific structure, for example, to focus more on grammar and practice it through exercises, I'm happy to provide that. During lessons, I send new words, phrases, and corrections in the chat, so that you can access them later.

I have been studying Swedish with Johanna for quite some time, and it has been a great experience. She is patient, understanding, and always takes the time to explain anything I find difficult. I appreciate how she encourages me to actively use the language through speaking, writing, and reading, which has really helped build my confidence. I had been trying to learn Swedish on my own before, but working with Johanna has made a noticeable difference in my progress. Her teaching style is supportive and effective, and her lessons are also very affordable, which makes it even easier to stay consistent. I genuinely enjoy our lessons and plan to continue studying with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their Swedish to the next level.

Johanna is quick with translations, considers nuances in meaning but above all has a curiosity and sense for adventure in life which makes conversation easy and fun. Johanna speaks clearly which helps me a lot at this point. I believe I can advance quickly now with Johanna .

I am very thankful for the many lessons I’ve had with Johanna, and I can’t recommend her enough. Learning Swedish to a high level takes hundreds of hours of speaking, listening, and feedback, so I needed a patient, committed teacher for the long term. Regular lessons with Johanna on italki have been a real game changer for my Swedish. She is highly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and has helped me with everything: everyday conversation, understanding Swedish culture, grammar, and more advanced academic language as I prepare for university studies in Swedish. She is reliable and clearly invested in my progress. Whether you need targeted help with specific questions or a teacher who will support you over the long term, I strongly recommend Johanna.

Great lesson with Johanna, she did a great job of giving corrections but without interrupting the flow of the conversation. Looking forward to the next one!
