Hello! I'm Mads, a 29 years old Norwegian teacher based in Oslo with a passion for languages and a background in biology. I have several years of experience teaching Norwegian as a foreign language across multiple platforms and institutions, including the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). Alongside my work here on italki, I currently teach at a Norwegian language school here in Oslo, where I work with structured curricula and a wide range of international learners on a daily basis. My interests include plants (anything biology related, really), running, climbing, food, learning about different cultures, travelling, food, reading, food and oh, did I mention food? As a dedicated language instructor, I bring a relaxed yet engaging teaching style to my lessons. I believe that learning should be enjoyable, and I am always excited to delve into interesting topics that captivate my students' interest. I prioritize customizing my teaching approach to suit the unique needs and goals of each individual learner. As a language learner myself, currently developing my Spanish through travel and immersive reading, I know what it feels like to sit on the other side of the table. That experience shapes how I teach. I know what students actually find useful, and I am always happy to recommend resources or answer questions between lessons. Lessons are shaped around you. Your level, your goals, your interests. The most important thing for me is that the lesson is something you gen...

Mads is an amazing teacher. I've been practicing Norwegian with him for a year, and I've made great progress. He's very helpful, attentive, and friendly. The lessons feel like meeting a friend for coffee:) which helps get rid of any fears of speaking or making a mistake. One of the things I like best (as a teacher myself) is how Mads works with mistakes - he doesn't just correct them, but asks the student to do it first. This method makes you remember much better than if the teacher just corrects everything for you.

Mads has built my confidence to speak Norwegian after only a couple of lessons. He is a great conversation partner and fun to talk to as well. I was almost too nervous to speak before our first lesson, but we had a great conversation which fit my needs. He can also suggest better ways to say certain sentences and helps with grammar. Highly recommend!

Having a session with him is like talking with a friend, especially if you talk about your life and your culture. It feels less of like having a session of talking, but more like just talking. He gives material for you to read or watch and questions that you can answer in the session. But if you're talkative, you can talk whatever you want. You can talk about your country's cuisine and learn about Norwegian food in turn, for example.

I enjoyed the conversation really much even though my Norwegian isn't really good. He is very patient and nice teacher. Before the lesson I was stressed a bit because it was my first time speaking Norwegian to anyone but then I totally chilled out. I recommend him really much

Veldig lett å lære norsk med, har en tydelig aksent som er lett å forstå og er veldig opptatt av undervisning. Alltid godt forberedt og gir fantastiske lekser. Anbefaler absolutt denne læreren, hun gjør det faktisk morsomt å lære norsk!
