About Me
italki teacher since Jan 21, 2021Me as a Teacher
I inherited my love for Danish as well as Ancient languages from my paternal grandmother, who was a Danish and History teacher herself for many years. With her, I developed a profound interest in teaching.
Later, I had to study Latin almost on my own because very few people wanted to study it. I often felt stuck and thought about quitting, but I tried to find the patience and I explored different methods in order to learn. As a person, I am very patient, and for me, it is important that you feel comfortable showing me your difficulties and giving your opinion.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons can focus on different aspects depending on your level and goals. For instance:
- lessons for beginners,
- improving grammar and orthography,
- increasing general or specific vocabulary,
- improving pronunciation and conversational skills,
- improving writing skills and style (academic writing or business writing),
- learning about Danish culture.
I can teach both adults and children and I have experience preparing students for Prøve i Dansk 2 & 3 and Studieprøven.
I use a variety of teaching materials and tools such as slides, traditional grammars, texts of varying difficulty, interactive whiteboard, flashcards and quizzes. I can also send short lecture notes after each class.My teaching material

Sarah listened closely to what I wanted in my lesson and adapted to meet that. She also kindly, but clearly corrected me when I made errors. Very helpful all around!
