The Teachers

Meet the Swedish Teachers

All our teachers have a university education in teaching Swedish or Swedish as a second/foreign language. They also have several years of professional experience of teaching Swedish as a foreign language and enjoy teaching on all levels. Our youngest student was 12 years old and our oldest 75.

All the teachers have a personal experience of living in bilingual families, as well as of living abroad and can give you valuable cultural guidance when you’re new in Sweden or planning to move there. Our teachers always work hard to create a friendly learning atmosphere, so you can relax and get the most out of your lessons.

"Jag ser alltid fram emot mina lektioner med Sara. Redan från början kände jag mig mer självsäker. Hon är tålmodig, professionell och snäll.

Something I really appreciate about Sara is her ability to go off subject a little but still be able to bring it back to the lesson. She is nice to talk to and I always feel like I am making progress or achieving something. I would happily recommend The Swedish Teacher to anyone I know in a similar position as myself."

"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! As an educator myself, I highly recommend The Swedish Teacher. Their high-quality instruction is customized to each person’s needs and is more affordable than most person-to-person services. I live in the U.S. and have found The Swedish Teacher to be the best available instruction in the U.S. market."
