Bachelor & Master of Education, with 8 years experience in learning. Informal and fun is the focus! Hello! I'm Henrik, and I am a Dane, currently living in Germany. A little bit about my professional background: I have a Bachelor’s in Education, from which I am a certified English, Danish (As well as history and special needs education) teacher. I have been working in Danish school for 4 years, I have also completed a Master of Education in "IT-Educational Design" in 2021. I am passionate about cultural exchange and travel, and I thoroughly believe that with proper use of technology, every person can reach a higher intercultural competence and thereby become more openminded towards other people, and that this will remove hate and suffering from the world. As a teacher I am a huge disciple of informal learning. I don't believe that grammar books and filling in blanks on worksheets is the way in which a language, or anything for that matter, should be learned. It is neither fun, nor in my experience particularly effective. Of course, as a beginner, some basic grammar is needed, but as soon as my students have enough vocabulary to start using the language in meaningful sentences and conversations, I seek to activate this language in my student in a fun and engaging way. Having a good time, having fun while learning, as well as keeping my teaching goal oriented towards the needs of my student is of uttermost importance. My lessons here at iTalki could take place in several different ways, depending on your level - But they will all start with a lesson where we together ta...

I was genuinely surprised by how effective the first class was. Before our lesson, I had actually been watching some Danish videos on YouTube, and only later realized that Henrik was the one behind them, which was a great surprise. Henrik is patient, professional, and straight to the point, with a level of empathy that I truly appreciate. He quickly adapted the lesson to a complete beginner level and provided clear, practical explanations from the start. I also really value that he shares materials for the next classes, which gives access to valuable content and helps me stay on track between lessons. As the first Danish teacher I reached out to, I feel I made the right choice.

Look no further. Henrik is a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher. He talks at the perfect pace and gives you the time to find your words. I can’t wait for the next class.

Just finished my final lesson of 6 that I booked with Henrik. I was hugely impressed by his approach. He’s relaxed and engaging and is excellent when he gives feedback as he does it in a very supportive way. He also provided so many tips and resources to help with ongoing learning. My Danish has improved significantly since I started. Highly recommended. Tusind tak Henrik. 👍
