About Carl
I was born in Sweden, raised in the Netherlands but grew up speaking mostly English. This because my mother is of Australian and Dutch decent and my father of Swedish decent. I love to travel, and I stayed in Mexico for 9 months where I learned some Spanish.
Teaching style
I can teach anyone between a beginner and advanced level. So if you are only starting to explore a new language I can help with the first few words or sentences/day-to-day things. Or if you are more advanced and seek to tweak your grammar and the language at a more academic level I am definitely open to that also.
- Also speaks
- german, spanish, arabic(modernstandard), other
- Focus

He is a great teacher. He is a good listener and very patient for beginner level students. Also can teach the course according to the needs of the student. Sometimes even when I can't speak he understands what I mean. He is the best. Tack så mycket:)
