Emelie

Emelie is a very enthusiastic teacher and a wonderful person! Her "gamifyed" lesson was a ton of fun, I left with a huge smile on my face. She created a safe and encouraging atmosphere for me--a beginner--to speak Swedish even on our first meeting. Thank you so much for this class!!

Emelie’s very passionate about teaching and always comes super prepared for each lesson. While still very new to Swedish, I'm amazed at how quickly she was able to help me get up to speed with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I really like how she deconstructs the learning process into basic concepts. By our third lesson, I was able to start writing sentences in Swedish! Tack så mycket

Emelie is a fantastic teacher! She comes prepared with plenty of useful materials, but also made it very fun and comfortable to have a general conversation. Also, one thing that sets her apart is that she corrects me the perfect amount for my level. When I repeat the same mistakes, or make a more major mistake, she will let me know. But otherwise she will let me speak and “get into a flow” as long as she can understand. I look forward to more lessons with her soon!

Another superb lesson with Emelie. We spent some time reviewing work from the previous week and talking generally about language learning. Then, we went through a lesson plan she had prepared in Miro, which was useful to reinforce things I already knew, as well as identify gaps in my knowledge. Emelie's expertise shines through during lessons—she has a natural way of explaining terms, giving examples, and connecting ideas. She's also very patient and understanding, which I appreciate because I'm still finding my feet with the language. Emelie's encouragement helps enormously too!

Just had my first lesson with Emelie and I really enjoyed her approach to the lesson. From a technical standpoint, I was impressed—both in terms of her subject matter expertise, as well as the teaching system she has developed. From a personal standpoint, I had fun and learned a lot. Emelie struck a balance between explaining and facilitating, so I gained some new insights and got the opportunity to practice.

It was fun to have a class with Emelie as she has a good plan to teach and we can easily get into conversations about a wide variety of topics. She is eager to make the class developmental but at the same time enjoyable for both of us. Thanks!
