Hello! I am a 29 years old biologist living in Oslo. I've always been passionate about languages, and I have extensive experience teaching Norwegain as a foreign language both here on the platform and also as a teacher at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) . As a biologist I love talking about natural sciences and plants, but I do have a wide array of hobbies such as climbing, travelling, food and culture, plants and more. More importantly, I am always eager to learn about your ways to pass the time!

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!

Mads is a really good teacher. He listens to everything you say and he makes you feel really calm, especially when you're unsure of your Norwegian ability. He sent me useful links based on my interests that we had discussed from the first lesson, which demonstrated his attention to detail and student-centered approach. I feel like I've learnt so much more already because of his help! Thanks again, Mads!

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

I've had a couple lessons with Mads so far, and I highly recommend him if you're looking to practice and improve your Norwegian. Mads is easy to chat with, provides great feedback, and provides thoughtful discussion topics prior to each meeting to help you get prepared and collect your thoughts. I already feel much more confident in my spoken Norwegian after a few weeks with Mads, and look forward to continuing our chats.
