After having enjoyed some lessons with Mads, I can wholeheartedly recommend him as a teacher. He ensures that the lessons are engaging, creates a comfortable environment to make mistakes, and keeps the conversation going.
Before each lesson he manages to recommend interesting podcasts that fit my interests and level to discuss during the lesson. These discussions are always dynamic with ample opportunity for me to formulate my thoughts (even when the topic is outside my comfort zone). Mads always creates a safe environment to make mistakes. Finally, each lessons ends with a useful review of grammar/mistakes where he not only helps me understand the mistakes I made, but also gives me tips on how to sound more fluent.
All in all, every lesson with Mads is a joy, and I already feel more comfortable using Norwegian even with difficult topics outside my comfort zone. I can already thank Mads for the good lessons he provided, and I hope there will be many more good lessons in the future!
