Class Experience

Hej och välkommen, 


This class is designed for the students who have taken part in at least two of my other Swedish classes or can speak and read Swedish at an appropriate level for the class work. 

Every week there will be a worksheet with a short story and/ or a vocabulary list, some questions to answer and/or sentences to write and the opportunity to translate. The student is encouraged to share their work with me. 

The worksheet will be accompanied by a short video of me reading the story or pronouncing the words of the vocabulary list. 

Week 1: Inbjudan-The invitation (Read an invitation in Swedish and write your own)

Week 2: Tovas katt-Tova’s Cat (read a short story about Tova and their cat and answer some questions) 

Week 3: Gretas Dagbok- Greta’s diary (read a page from Greta’s diary from 1945 and translate) 

Week 4: Nyheter-The News (read a short news article and create questions from provided example questions) 

Week 5: Tjugo verb- Twenty Verbs (twenty verbs and the different grammatical versions, write sentences) 

Week 6:  create sentences from a list of nouns, adjectives, colors and verbs, for example “The green frog jumps high” 

Week 7: En dag på stranden/ A day at the beach (read a short story about a day at the beach and answer some questions) 


The work can be shared in a message, a word document, a Google doc, or by taking a photo of the worksheet and sending it ho me. 

If the students have any questions about the work, please send a message using the teacher tab on the Outschool website.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

My teaching philosophy is deeply rooted in personal experience. Growing up with dysgraphia, I encountered teachers who left me feeling uncomfortable, insecure, and inadequate. Those experiences shaped my commitment to creating an environment where every student feels welcome, confident, and supported. My goal is to build students up, ensuring they leave my classes with both knowledge and self-assurance.

As a teacher, I bring a wide array of subjects to life in my classes, ranging from creative writing and Swedish (my native language) to world religions, the Holocaust, and novel studies with a focus on folklore. Each subject reflects my passions and areas of expertise, offering students a rich and dynamic learning experience.

With a master’s degree in education and a double major in social and political science and world religions, my professional background equips me to guide students through diverse and complex topics. Having taught across various age groups in Sweden and now the USA, I also incorporate the principles of student democracy, encouraging students to take an active role in shaping their own learning journey.


On a personal note, I’ve always had a vivid imagination—perhaps a result of my Nordic upbringing. As a child in Sweden, I was fascinated yet terrified by the stories of fairies that pervade our folklore. Now, as an immigrant in the USA, I weave that sense of wonder into my own creative works, which have earned me awards for poetry and short stories.
