My name is Hanna and I'm originally from Sweden, but I love traveling and have lived in four different countries other than Sweden. I'm 28 years old and love learning new languages myself, so I can really connect with my own students in their pursuit to learn.
I taught English in both Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City and Spain, Barcelona, before moving onto mainly teaching online here on Italki. The teacher training I underwent in both Vietnam and Spain is what I carry with me to make sure my lessons are effective, fun and personalized.
The biggest lessons I've learned through teaching is that everyone is different, and lessons therefore need to be tailored to the individual student.
Me as a Teacher
I'm very relaxed and understanding as a teacher. I relate to how hard it can be to learn a new language so while I'm very patient and understanding I will also push and encourage you. With time and motivation anyone can learn and improve in amazing ways.
My lessons & teaching style
It's very important to first of all get a good understanding of the student's current language ability and then go from there. Pronunciation is something almost everyone struggle with and is something I will make sure to correct and practice with the student a lot.
Overall, confidence in speaking, and practicing your oral skills is what's going to improve your language skills the most (speaking from experience) so I tend to spend a lot of time on that. You can learn all the vocab and grammar in the world, but if you don't have the confidence or ability to verbalize it, it won't be of much use.
But the most importantly I believe fun and education go hand in hand!

Hanna is a great teacher for those who want to practice speaking Swedish. They speak clearly and adjust well to the student, providing plenty of verbal and non-verbal feedback where needed. Hanna makes sure that lessons have a prompt (a news article or similar) to jump off of, but they are also easy to chat with. I recommend them to anyone who wants to gain more experience producing the language in a patient environment.

This is the best Swedish teacher I had in all 341 years of my life as a vampire, so I know a thing or two about trial periods. Totally recommend for any level and any type of personality.

Hanna är en fantastisk lärare. Hon är lugn, tålmodig och anpassar sig alltid till din nivå. Hon har bra studiematerial och det är alltid kul att prata med henne. Jag försöker komma på någon kritik men kan inte. Jag rekommenderar starkt Hanna för alla språknivåer!

I’ve had a few lessons with Hanna and already feel I’ve really improved my Swedish. In each session, we go through an interesting article with advanced vocabulary, so I can ask questions and learn new words. We discuss it, then read parts with a focus on pronunciation, as improving my pronunciation is my main goal. Whenever we encounter a word I find hard to pronounce, she somehow comes up with many similar tricky words and creates a sentence to practise those sounds.
Our conversations flow naturally. She is very friendly, allows for small talk, but always keeps the focus on learning and speaking. I definitely recommend taking lessons with her!
