Gift Cards | One-to-One Tuition

Intensive Swedish Language Training with Sweden’s Best Teachers

Customised Content

Prior to starting your package, we will make a detailed evaluation of the participant’s existing skills, and also map their learning needs and goals, in detail. From there, we will make a list of priorities, that we discuss with the student. This will serve as a starting point for creating an individualised course plan that will make the participant make as fast and effective progress as possible.

Experienced Teachers

No outsourcing, no bad surprises. Your teacher is either Djina Wilk, 13 years of experience of teaching Swedish to adults, or Sofi Tegsveden Deveaux, with 9 years experience. Both have a consistent record of very high student satisfaction, thanks to their skills in linguistics and teaching, professionalism and ability to adapt teaching method to the participants’ needs, goals and preferences.

Measureable Progress

We use the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) to define starting and target levels, and to ensure fast and perceivable progress, as you will be learning together with other participants at the same level as you. We do not considerate theory as separate from practice, but integrate communicative exercises in grammar and vocabulary.
