About Me
italki teacher since Jul 29, 2020
Hi! I'm Helene and I'm a native Danish person fluent in English. I have taught Danish on iTalki for one year thus far. I'm really excited to help you learn! I'm very interested in teaching and meeting people from around the world. I have a master's in social anthropology, and I hope to one day go around the world doing human rights activism.
Me as a Teacher
I am a laid back, patient and informal tutor who really wants to support your language learning journey in the best way possible. There won't be any strict teacher vibes here! I believe that positive encouragement is the best tool to help you learn and improve.
I do not teach complete beginners, but please check back with me when you have been learning Danish for at least 6 months. Then I'm happy to help!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conversation based so I focus on having natural, everyday conversations. I am happy to bring teaching materials to provide ideas and support for our conversations, such as example sentences on a given topic or pictures with vocabulary sets. If you prefer, we can also just talk freely about the topics you want to practice.
I know my way around grammar, but in my experience it is best learned in relation to real conversations. Therefore, I don't do grammar exercises but I am happy to explain grammatical rules if it comes up in our conversations.
All in all, I do conversation practice in an informal but effective manner.

I enjoy Helena‘s lessons because she is great at explaining things clearly and comes up with examples very fast.

We started combining grammar and vocabulary to make subordinate sentences, use adjectives and comparatives, as well as verbs in the past tense
