About

I am Norwegian but have lived in Prague since 2000 with my Czech husband and son. I love to teach and am an enthusiastic teacher who stresses the importance of pleasant and energetic communication with my students. I prefer structured lessons with room for improvisation. After each lesson, my students should have acquired new skills.
