What we work on
- IB Language A — Literature and Language & Literature. Textual analysis, the comparative essay and the Individual Oral, in Danish or in Swedish.
- Self-taught Language A. The route many international-school students must take when the school offers no teacher in their mother tongue — and the one where regular supervision matters most.
- IB Language B. Building written and spoken fluency towards the assessments, at SL or HL.
- Danish and Swedish for adults. For business, for relocation, or for family reasons, from beginner level upwards.
- Writing that reads naturally. The step beyond correctness: cohesion, register, and idiom that a native reader recognises.
Self-taught Language A, supervised properly
Self-taught Language A asks a seventeen-year-old to organise a two-year literature course alone. Most of the difficulty is not linguistic — it is knowing which texts to choose, how to read them analytically, and what the examiner expects from an oral in a language no one at school teaches.
Anna-Vibeke has supervised exactly this: Cecilia, below, sat self-taught Danish Language A online from another country. The work is a structured reading programme, regular written responses, and rehearsal for the oral.
Why a Scandinavian teacher with IB experience
Anna-Vibeke was born to Swedish and Danish parents, is a certified and experienced teacher of Danish to immigrant adults, and has taught both Swedish and Danish to IB Diploma students at Language A and B. That combination — native fluency, a formal teaching qualification, and 23 years inside the IB — is uncommon.
How lessons run
One-to-one, online or face-to-face in the Öresund region, including Lund, Malmö and Copenhagen. Adults working towards conversational Danish or Swedish usually prefer shorter, more frequent lessons; Diploma students a steady weekly rhythm across the two years. Small groups by arrangement.
