Tack så mycket för allt! För den jätteviktiga hjälpen med språket samt med psykiatrin. För de trevligaste språklektionerna som jag hade ... För den speciella förmågan som du har som lärare ... För att du är en så snäll och artig person! Jag är jätteglad att ha dig som min första svensklärare.

My teacher is absolutely great! She is extremely didactic and has a lot of experience in teaching Swedish as a second language. She also has a great sense of humor what makes the classes also fun.

Sara Hörberg and I have worked together online for a number of courses. What I personally appreciate most is the depth and rigour of her academic knowledge, which she manages to tailor to my diverse needs. She has considerable experience and success in facilitating the online sessions. In addition, she is supportive and committed, with a quiet sense of humour that helps the learning overall. Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity.

I started taking Swedish lessons in March 2015. It’s a wonderful experience – I had never though taking classes via Skype could be so effective! My classes are with Christian Odenahl. He is a wonderful person and a brilliant teacher. He not only gives instant feedback verbally and via the Skye chat function, but also does a great follow-up with written records, exercise corrections, suggestions for literature etc.
My Swedish customers tell me that my Swedish has much improved and I now feel comfortable engaging in conversations in Swedish.
I am very satisfied and already looking forward to my next lesson with Christian!

Since the summer of 2010 I've been taking online classes with Sara Hörberg at The Swedish Teacher. Sara is so personal ans easy to talk with, and willing to help me as I struggle through language challenges. She customizes my classes and pushes me to speak Swedish - stretching my brain cells :) ! I'm enjoying every minute! Don't just learn with books and tapes - learn with The Swedish Teacher one-on-one! I'm amazed on what I understand and want to learn more. Thanks!

Sara Hörberg at The Swedish Teacher is a wonderful instructor but more than that she is a wonderful person. She not only teaches me Swedish, she teaches me the culture of my ancestry. Her methods of teaching are challenging yet I don't feel intimidated at any time. Thanks to this awesome course I feel I am accomplishing my goals and becoming a better Canadian Swede.

Sara Hörberg at The Swedish Teacher has a friendly and pedagogical style that stimulates learning and curiosity. As and advanced level Swedish language student who has to speak it daily at work, I can confidently say that I have benefited from Sara and have utilized what I’ve learned from her in daily life.

If I were to describe it in one word, I’d say “Excellent”. The quality of education is very impressive. The complete focus on the individual student and the very friendly attitude of the teacher, not only makes the process fun and exciting, it also helps a lot with the learning process. There has been a significant improvement in my Swedish language skills due to this course.

Jag måste meddela att jag är såååå glad att vi under de här veckorna jobbat tillsammans med språket – många har blivit väldigt imponerade av mina språkkunskaper, fast jag fortfarande är lite nervös när jag pratar. Jag har dig att tacka för mina framsteg – verkligen!

Hannah Goldring is a fantastic teacher. She takes great care to make sure you understand what you're learning before moving on to next-level concepts. She easily adapted to my needs as a fast-paced learner and I can't tell you how much I appreciate that! Lessons with her are always fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend her!

Olivia Key, California, USA

Sara Hörberg is always over and above what is required by the "standard" lesson. She will go the extra mile to make you fully understand a grammar rule, or a word until you become proficient in that area. Studying with Sara is absolutely a pleasure and positive experience and you can be sure that you will hit your learning objectives.

I really enjoy learning Swedish with Jeanette. She manages to structure the lessons in a way that couples with my form of learning languages. I’m really happy and looking forward to continue my Swedish lessons with Jeanette.

I have really been learning a lot from my lessons with Jeanette. I appreciate that she is patient and flexible with me, and, with her help, I have been much better able to speak and listen when I am in Sweden. Before my last trip, Swedes would always change to English immediately when I tried to speak Swedish. Jeanette worked a lot with me on pronunciation and day-to-day Swedish, so when I visited Sweden in January, people spoke to me in Swedish, and on one occasion, when I asked a mobile phone representative to switch to English, he asked me why we needed to speak in English! I shared this story with Jeanette, also, because I was so proud, and I could not have gotten better without her help.

In the fall, I took a batch of 10 lessons to prepare myself for the Tisus test. Now, after passing the test and getting through the first month of university classes at SLU, I just wanted to compliment the great service and high quality teaching I received from mostly Hannah, but also Jeanette. As a person with a Swedish background who has lived his entire adult life in America, I was in a time crunch and had a lot to learn before taking the test. Both Hannah and Jeanette not only prepared me really well, but also made it fun and engaging. I can't thank them enough for all their help and expertise.

Both kids passed the A2 test! I can’t thank you enough for all of your help in teaching them Swedish and everything they needed to pass that test!

My lessons with Anton are great - Anton really does a nice job. Always prepared and yet super flexible with topics or questions. And I must say he goes the extra mile with extra exercises, feedback on homework, etc.
