Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux
I started teaching Swedish as a foreign language in 2008, when I was still living in Edinburgh. As I later re-located to my hometown of Stockholm, I taught Swedish at Folkuniversitetet for six years, before setting up Bee Swedish in 2015. Parallel to my teaching, I work as a publisher and editor for LYS förlag, a small publishing house specialising in local expertise and global experiences.
As a teacher, I believe in supporting each learner to integrate their language skills in their everyday life and work, and adapt the content accordingly. I put emphasis on pronunciation, cultural factors and context, as these are often the factors most Swedish learners struggle with.
