Hello I´m Henning Gustavsen, I offer affordable Norwegian lessons at all levels!
If you are new to the Norwegian language or a beginner I will be using the literature “Ny i Norge” which is the most widely used program for foreigners learning Norwegian. I will also teach according to your individual needs and progress as I´m educated a special needs teacher as well as a language teacher.
I will provide all the material you need at no extra cost except test money you will have to pay in order to take formal language tests like the “Bergens testen” here in Norway.
First of all it is important to me to know your goals before we start. There are many reasons why someone would like to learn Norwegian, maybe you have relatives living in Norway today, or perhaps your ancestors emigrated from Norway a long time ago? It may also be that you are planning a vacation to Norway so see the wonderful nature and experience the culture of the Vikings! Quite a few people would like to learn Norwegian well in order to get a job in Norway! Based on your goals I will make an individual curriculum that focus on what you need to learn in order to master the Norwegian language at a level that you need to succeed.
I will also give you homework between each lesson and check your progress regularly. I have more than 18 years of teaching experience from elementary level to college here in Norway. I´ve also got experience with teaching students from foreign countries Norwegian. The past 7 years I´ve been teaching students from all over the world Norwegian online.
I´m an educated teacher from Vestfold University College graduated in 1996. I have specialization in Norwegian and English as well as special needs education. In 2000 I graduated, as a special needs teacher.
Henning is very observant in finding where I need to improve. He will take the time to tailor the lesson to make it more relatable for me instead of sticking to a strict curriculum. He's not just an excellent Norwegian teacher, he is a great mentor as well. One hour lessons don't feel like enough. It would be awesome if there were 2 hour lessons available.
This was my very first experience, both with Verbling and with this teacher. I can honestly say that I am fully satisfied. I found Henning to be very approachable, well prepared, and responsive. I didn't feel intimidated at all and even after just one lesson I can say I feel more confident. I will certainly continue with this excellent teacher.
