Tutor Bio
I come from the beautiful country of Norway, where a healthy lifestyle and outdoor activities are very much embraced.
My teaching career began in Norway after receiving a teaching degree from Høyskolen i Østfold in Halden, Norway. I then lived and taught in the U.S. for many years, including teaching Norwegian at Madison College in Madison, WI. Currently I teach Norwegian online for the US Air Force and British Ministry of Defense , as well as students all over the world. The proficiency level of my students range from beginner to more advanced (A1-B2). Some are also preparing to take Norsk prøven (Official Norwegian Exam).
Aside from my passion for teaching, I enjoy participating in outdoor activities, networking, socializing, coffee shops, singing, playing piano and guitar.

What is your favorite word in your language and why?
My favorite word in Norwegian is "koselig". The word means that an activity, people or a place is something you experience as a positive thing. You are enjoying being with the people you are with and the atmosphere is cozy.

What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
I do not have a favorite dish but a favorite Norwegian dessert. It is called bløtkake, and is a cake basically made out of heavy whipping cream and fresh fruit. Oh so yummy! Worth trying if you get a chance.

Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
I know some French because I took 3 years of French in high school. I am now doing Duolingo daily to freshen up my French skills.

What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
I enjoy writing music, singing and playing the guitar and piano. I also like hiking and bicycle riding.

What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
This one is a tough one to answer since I have moved around a lot. I have spent about 1/2 my life in Norway and the other 1/2 in the USA. I would have to say that I love both countries because of all the pleasant memories from both places.
