I’ve been learning Norwegian with Erland for a couple of months now. He’s very supportive—not just during lessons but also in helping guide what to focus on outside of them. He always checks in to make sure I’m happy with how things are going and adapts the lessons to suit my pace. He’s understanding when you struggle and is easy to communicate with. I’ve felt really comfortable and encouraged throughout. :)

I recently had the pleasure of learning Norwegian with Erlend, and I can’t recommend him enough! From our very first lesson, it was clear that he is not only knowledgeable but also passionate about teaching. Erlend's approach is both engaging and effective; he tailors each session to suit my learning style and pace, making the process enjoyable and productive. Erlend has a knack for breaking down complex concepts into manageable pieces, ensuring that I grasp the language fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics. His lessons are well-structured and often incorporate real-life scenarios, which helps me understand how to use the language practically. What I appreciate most is his patience and encouragement. He creates a supportive environment where I feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. He also provides helpful resources and exercises that reinforce what I’ve learned. Thanks to Erlend, my confidence in speaking Norwegian has grown, and I look forward to each lesson. If you’re looking for a dedicated and effective tutor who truly cares about your progress, Erlend is the perfect choice!

My specialties

Norwegian for beginners

I provide clear, structured lessons using mnemonic devices, simple exercises, and culturally relevant examples to build a strong foundation. My approach blends traditional techniques with interactive tools, ensuring steady progress for new learners.

Conversational Norwegian

I focus on real-life scenarios, role-play, and conversation clubs to build speaking confidence from the start. Each session emphasizes everyday expressions, practical usage, and cultural insights for fluent, natural conversation.

Intensive Norwegian

I combine structured lessons with immersive sessions and interactive exercises for fast progress. Each class emphasizes practical usage, offering rigorous study with clear goals and real-time practice.

Business Norwegian

I use case studies, role-playing, and business simulations to teach formal structures and specialized terminology. Lessons focus on essential professional skills like report writing, conducting meetings, and negotiating in Norwegian.

Norwegian for Children

I engage young learners with interactive storytelling, language games, and visual aids to build foundational skills. Each session is age-appropriate, emphasizing songs, stories, and role-play to encourage natural language acquisition.

Norwegian Literature

I use interactive literary analysis, writing workshops, and multimedia resources to deepen understanding of Norwegian texts. Each lesson highlights historical context and cultural significance, fostering a meaningful appreciation of literature.
