About
I am a language teacher, certified by the Swedish National Agency for Education with over a decade of teaching experience from various countries and contexts. I’m currently working at the Swedish School in Berlin while doing online teaching and translations. My experiences abroad paved the way for further language and literature studies when I returned to my hometown, Stockholm. My studies at the university eventually led to a Master of Education and I began work as a high school teacher. I teach, translate and consult for people interested in languages and cross-cultural communication.
