Meet your Danish tutor
My name is Katla Gunnarsdóttir and I am a freelance Danish teacher with over 3 years of experience and over 4000 lessons taught online and in person. I have a degree in Scandinavian Studies, with a focus on the literature and linguistic structures of Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic. I also speak native-level English, and can teach you Danish using either English or German. In my teaching career I have been helping students of all levels and cultural backgrounds learn and acquire the Danish language and overcome the challenges this poses. One of my great passions in life is to help my students discover a new culture through language and to use that language to build a life within that culture. In my spare time I enjoy reading, cooking, coding, learning languages, spending time with friends and family as well as being in nature.
Me as a Teacher
Every student is different but I always try my best to create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in my lessons. My approach to teaching is highly affirmative. This means that I won’t just help you learn Danish, I will also help you build your confidence. So that you can use what you have learned independently, confidently, and creatively with native speakers. As a teacher I am aware of the fact that the Danish language and especially its pronunciation provides many challenges for language learners and mastering Danish won't happen overnight. But I will help you get there, however long it takes, and together we can make it fun!
