Born and raised in Sweden, I came to the United States after high school to compete in Track and Field.
I spent my teaching career in America teaching physical education, special education, ELA, and ESL. I work as a Swedish teacher for a language institute and I design my own Swedish curriculum.
My passions besides languages are athletics and my hobbies, to name a few: swimming, table tennis, badminton, snowshoeing, traveling, reading, and spending time on the beach with my shih-poo Luna. I love to work out and have run hard almost every day since I was 14. I did the 800 and 1500 m for the Swedish national team in Finnkampen and the European Indoor Championship.

Ik als leerkracht
Teaching to me is an art more so than a science! I teach, I support, I coach, and I care for you! I want to see progress and fast! I also want to see you have fun and gain real confidence in speaking Swedish. My teaching style is professional with attention to details, yet sort of relaxed, and I individualize all lessons for you.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I want you to feel comfortable in our lessons and productive! I teach a structured, yet more or less a whole language approach; that is personalized to your goals, dreams, personality, interests, motivation and style. I always aim for interactive lessons that energize and inspire you. After each lesson, I create homework assignments for you!! I also use AI to assist in individualizing your homework.

I had a great lesson with Birger. He is patient and adapts the lesson to whatever your goals are and whatever your level is. I am grateful!

Tack så mycket Birger! This was my first lesson, and I know I'm a bit of an unusual student, only primarily focusing on reading and listening. My goal is to be able to read and understand Swedish (with a secondary goal of speaking), and Birger was more than happy to help. Very calm and collected, he made me feel quite comfortable and was very personable! Excited for the next lesson.
