About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2025
InterestsTechSports & FitnessMusicGaming
I'm 41 years old. I'm currently living in Japan with my wife. I've worked in IT for many years, but since I moved to Japan I wanted to try something new. I've always enjoyed teaching and explaining things, and I'm very interested in languages so I thought this could be a fun mix for me.
I just added more time-slots. If you can't find any slot that works for you, please send me a lesson request with a different time. I'm pretty flexible (provided that the lesson is not in the middle of the night in Japan).
Me as a Teacher
I've had different Japanese teachers on Italki, and I want to bring some of the things I like about them in to my own lessons. I think it's important to be friendly, patient and encouraging but also make sure to correct bad habits and be honest.
My lessons & teaching style
My style is more casual, rather than a classroom-feel. Like I said in my video introduction, I don't believe the classroom-approach is the right way to learn a language. That's why I want to go for a more natural approach and I want you to feel like you're having a normal conversation with a Swedish person.
Of course I will teach you new stuff, and correct you when you get something wrong. However, I will look for patterns and bad habits, rather than constantly interrupt you when we speak.
Getting too much feedback at once is not very helpful.

I had a great time talking with Daniel. I was just looking for some conversation practice. We had a good discussion about where I have been to in Sweden and life in Japan vs. life in Sweden. Tack så mycket, Daniel!
