Sarah B.

I’ve been teaching Danish since 2018, but I acquired my love for Danish as well as Classical languages from my paternal grandmother, who was a Danish and History teacher for many years.

At some times during my university studies, I had to study Latin on my own because very few people chose that minor. 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 it is important for me that you feel comfortable showing me your difficulties and giving your opinion.

I have a Master's degree in Danish language and literature from the University of Southern Denmark, and I am trained in second-language learning and acquisition from Copenhagen University.

Before teaching online, I worked as a teaching assistant in an undergraduate introductory course in Danish language, culture, and history as part of an internship at Lund University. I have also worked pro-bono as a teaching assistant in Classical Latin at Kitas Gymnasium.

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 have taken the training course for examiners at PD3, and the success rate among my students is 94%.

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.

If you book a lesson with me, we can discuss your situation, your goals, and how I can help you reach them.
