I have been teaching Danish as a second language since 2015, primarily at two of the major language schools in Copenhagen. My main focus has been on highly educated foreigners, but I have taught students at all levels–from beginners to those preparing for the Studieprøven. In addition to this, I have also served as an examiner and censor for the Prøve i Dansk 3 on multiple occasions.
At Danskbureauet, I teach at various embassies and large companies, including Mærsk, HOFOR, and ATP. In addition, I also teach private students both in person and online. I always place the student at the center of my work, valuing the importance of a strong, personal and trusting relationship.

I have been teaching Danish to highly educated foreigners since 2000, initially at KISS Language Center and later at Danskbureauet, which I founded in 2006.
In my teaching, I am said to be patient, empathetic, and curious. I have a keen ear for linguistic nuances and error types, which I use to quickly and honestly identify the nearest development potential. I am an expert in my field and remain deeply fascinated by how different people think and learn languages in various ways. I love working with highly motivated individuals who set high goals for their course with me—and achieve them.
Additionally, I have authored the “Direkte Dansk” textbooks*, which follow our unique and highly effective teaching method with a special focus on establishing correct spoken Danish, including clear pronunciation. I also oversee our internal training of new instructors in the method and in pronunciation training in general.
Alongside my work at Danskbureauet, I serve as a task author for the Ministry’s Task Commission for the Studieprøven as well as an external examiner for the Studieprøven. I have also previously served as an examiner and external censor for the Prøve i Dansk 3 (PD3).
*The first two books in the series are published by Praxis.

I have taught Danish as a second and foreign language since 2020, both at the Teacher Education programme in Iceland and at University College Copenhagen (Københavns Professionshøjskole). My students have primarily been trainee teachers who taught in Danish or in multilingual classrooms.
I particularly value 1-1 teaching, as I believe that achieving fluency in a foreign language requires relationships where the language itself is the focus. Danskbureauet’s emphasis on developing spoken language skills in an intensive, trust-based learning environment is exactly the right approach for those who take their language learning seriously.
When I am not teaching Danish, I spend as much time as possible in nature and run my own business in the outdoor industry. I speak six languages and love working with an international client base.

I am Danish, but as an adult, I have mostly lived abroad as an expat in Spain, Brazil, Norway, Germany and India. I have personally become fluent in English, German and Spanish as foreign languages, and in my teaching, I pay close attention to similarities and differences across languages.
I currently live in Spain, where I teach Danish children and teenagers language and mathematics. I also teach adult German learners Danish as a foreign language at all levels. All of my teaching takes place online, and I make use of the many digital tools available to ensure that lessons are engaging and motivating.
At Danskbureauet, I teach private students online.

In recent years, I have taught adults Danish as a foreign language online to both beginners and individuals wanting to improve their Danish for everyday use or career opportunities.
I always put the student at the center – learning should feel safe and enjoyable, so building a personal connection is very important to me.

Samuel
Samuel
Certified teacher with a specialization in Danish as a second language.
I have been teaching Danish as a second language for 14 years and have taught at all levels and virtually all industries, primarily the pharmaceutical industry and consulting firms. I have extensive experience with both one-on-one and group lessons, business Danish, preparation for the Prøve i Dansk 2 and 3 exams, as well as the Danish citizenship and naturalisation tests.
In my teaching, it is crucial to me that the student feels they are in professional and competent hands. I always strive to base my approach on each student’s wishes, interests, and needs. Danish lessons don’t have to be boring; I prefer an open and relaxed teaching style, while ensuring that the student is appropriately challenged.
At Danskbureauet, I teach private students, corporate groups, private students within companies, as well as Direkte Dansk groups, both in person and online.
