About Me
italki teacher since Feb 15, 2019
I enjoy discovering new music, watching gripping movies, trying out different foods, and of course learning new languages. It probably also comes as no surprise that I love travelling! I really like having interesting conversations with people, whether they be long-time friends or someone I just met, and I adapt the conversation to what they feel most comfortable talking about. Dialects I speak: 1) English - standard Canadian accent 2) Icelandic - standard Reykjavík accent Though only on an informal basis, I have always enjoyed teaching others since I know clearly what it is like to be on the other end as a student and aim to make students as comfortable as possible. I help motivate students to achieve success by concentrating on the goals that they have set for themselves. I keep teaching balanced by focusing on accurate pronunciation, correct grammar, and even additional areas such as language register (spoken vs. written language, slang, etc.). Since I realize that I am on the student's time, I cater my lessons to what they want. Some may want strictly grammar-oriented lessons, others may want focus on speaking or writing, and others may not be sure at all. In whichever case, I will recommend learning materials that may be of interest to them for their situation and guide them along at the pace they desire.

Robert continues to make Icelandic learning fun, accessible and enjoyable. I have been working with him for several months now and cannot rate him highly enough. He is extraordinarily resourceful and his handle on the language is exquisite. An excellent, passionate mentor who is patient, caring and willing to push you when you need it. Don’t hesitate to book sessions with him!

Robert is just awesome! His explanations are always just so crisp and digestible. For someone who doesn’t necessarily have the longest attention span, I have been kept engaged the whole time we discussed about the dreaded subjunctive today. I don’t know how he does it but he’s really good at making the seemingly complex concepts easy to understand. He’s very passionate about the language and this is apparent in the level of dedication that he affords his students. He’s hands down amazing that I always look forward to my lessons with him. 😉🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️♾

Robert is patient is waiting for me to form an utterance (or would be overly generous to call it a "sentence") and explaining things in simple terms. Since we have only 30 minutes at a time I also appreciate that he'll switch to English when I'm not quite getting it in Icelandic and time is running short : )

Thirty lessons completed and my Icelandic is now vastly improved thanks to Robert! He is an excellent tutor. As always, the lessons are enjoyable and informative and Robert has tonnes of patience. We are currently working on my pronunciation as I often sound like a robot! Thanks to his tuition and guidance, I am certainly improving and becoming more natural. I'm so excited to return to the best country in the world in May armed with everything I have learned! Takk fyrir Robert. ('Teacher's pick' this message Robert 🤣)
