Tutoren & Lehrer für Norwegisch

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.

I`m a native Norwegian speaker with lots of experience in the fields of language and culture. I also have a lot of experience with traveling. With my knowledge and interest in the fields of languages and culture, I want to teach international students of all ages. I spend lots of time comunicating with speakers of different languages. With that being said I also enjoy studying languages as a whole. I like following hockey (prefferbly the NHL), waching animated sitcoms and documentaries.

I was born in Norway in 1958. Since 1999, I have been living in Madeira, Portugal. My interests are many; music, photography, art, animals, nature, gardening, healthy food, teaching…. I am teaching Norwegian as a Second/Foreign Language online at Folkeuniversitetet Øst, mYngle and LTC language solutions, and I have private students. I have as well been teaching at Lingu Norge and Learnship and also at Berlitz Virtual Classroom (BVC) for a couple of years before I was Lead Instructor – Recruitment and Training at BVC.
