Swedish lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering swedish lessons
You teach Swedish, working through pitch accent, vowels, grammar and everyday phrases. Your listing should show how you teach pronunciation and the learners you help most.
What customers ask
- I am moving to Sweden for work. Can you focus on the Swedish I will need at work?
- How do you teach pitch accent? I cannot get the melody right.
- I can read Swedish but cannot speak it. Where should I start?
- Do you teach children, and how do you keep them engaged?
- How many lessons will it take to hold a basic conversation?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask what the student needs Swedish for and how they plan to use it.
- Offer a short listening and speaking check, and explain how it will shape the first lessons.
- Show a sample lesson built on a real situation, such as a workplace greeting or a call to a service desk.
- Share a short pitch accent drill so the student hears how you teach it.
- Put the lesson count, focus areas, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say what you teach best, such as work Swedish or pronunciation, so students with a clear goal can choose you.
What to put on your profile
- Your Swedish training, such as a degree, a teaching certificate or time spent living or working in Sweden.
- Whether you are a native Swedish speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the skills you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as professionals relocating, students or families.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a list of the words and phrases covered in each lesson so the student can practice them.
- Recommend a conversation group or a work Swedish course when the student's goal fits, and let them decide.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Swedish privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
