Our Danish teachers

Clara

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 Maersk, HOFOR, and ATP. I always place the student at the center of my work, valuing the importance of a strong, personal, and trusting relationship.

Ea
Ea BA in Danish Language and Communication

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’m really happy with what I learned in the class and I really liked the method they use to teach! The teachers paid attention in all my questions and helped with any doubt I had. I recommend this class for everybody who wants to learn how to speak Danish! They do a great job!

Your teachings in pronunciation was a big help for a beginner at Danish like me… I learned what I needed to pass the A1 test, and a bit more, which was what I took your course for, to kickstart my Danish language.
