Living in Birmingham? See Swedish tutors' reviews & videos
Learning a language face-to-face with a tutor can be a fantastic experience. But if you're unable to find an affordable private Swedish tutor in Birmingham, you may want to consider learning online. To learn with a Swedish tutor near you in Birmingham, you'll have to either travel to the tutor's home, or pay more to cover their travel time; the average cost of receiving private Swedish lessons in Birmingham is over $20 per hour. Not only does learning online save travel costs, but you gain access to the best tutors from all over the world.
Whilst students sometimes prefer learning in person, the vast majority of students report being pleasantly surprised by the experience of learning with a tutor online. On LanguaTalk, lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can progress quickly.

Swedish teacher with 8 years of teaching experience
Hello!
My name is Eva and I’ve been teaching Swedish for three years on-line and I have gathered a lot of understanding about the different needs from teaching Swedish to a teenager or to a PhD student.
I'm here to help you learn Swedish in a fun and stimulating way and I believe that having a good and open communication with each one of my students is the most important thing.
I am also fluent in English, Hebrew and Spanish.
Me as a Teacher
I’ve been learning how to speak a language in different ways (traditional- in school and natural-like a child) and the natural way is by far the most stimulating and motivating way.
My classes will be mostly conversational and we will personalize every class to your abilities and goals.
I can help you with everything from grammar, preparation for Swedish exams, new vocabulary etc.
My Lessons & Teaching Style
We will work with articles, work sheets, books, role plays…. whatever works best for you to make progress and gain confidence to speak Swedish.
I will share my books and material with you and I create an individual google doc with each one of my students where we keep all your progress up to date.
I am patient and understanding, I have been where you are, the hardest is to begin!
Let's start your new journey together and I will help you to learn Swedish from start or to improve your existing level.
I look forward to seeing you in class soon!

Native Swedish teacher with two years of experience
Native Swedish speaker with a standard Stockholm accent. I have taught Swedish for a couple of years to students of various backgrounds, from teenagers learning Swedish at school to professionals moving to Sweden for work. I can help you practise conversation on both everyday and specialized topics, as well as reading, writing and grammar. If you want to prepare for the national language exam TISUS I have experience doing this as well. I love talking and listening to people, I’m really good at grammar and I have a huge vocabulary.
Most of my lessons are based on conversation, that is, we talk to each other and every now and then we take a little break to focus on some particular item of grammar or vocabulary which appears in the conversation. The conversation can be really simple or very complex, but it’s almost always fun! I take notes during the lesson and during subsequent lessons we use these notes to rehearse and develop particular themes.
It’s also fun to discuss peculiarities of Swedish culture, I have lived in several countries and will recognize and help you discover some strange aspects of living in Sweden. And if you are moving there and need help with some practicalities I am happy to do this as well.
As far as formal experience goes, I have university degrees in Classics, Philosophy and Mathematics and have worked as a qualified high school teacher in Sweden.

Native Swedish tutor
Hi, I'm Julian. I'm a Swedish tutor with over 500 hours of experience teaching online.
I am passionate about language and a language learner myself.
I come from a multicultural background and have experience living in 4 different countries. This has given me a lot of perspective on what situations people find themselves in when learning a language and I hope to transfer that into a smooth personalized learning experience for my students. Furthermore, I am always curious on new topics of conversation.
I hope to hear from you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the differences between learning Swedish online with a tutor and learning face-to-face with a tutor in Birmingham?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Swedish online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk offer in-person Swedish lessons in Birmingham?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may offer local lessons, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, many tutors do not teach Swedish in Birmingham as they live elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that it will be online unless the tutor specifically states that they offer in-person lessons in Birmingham.
How much do Swedish tutors in Birmingham charge per hour?
Our research indicates that the average cost for private Swedish lessons in Birmingham is between $25-$35 per hour. Online tutors do not need to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, so the hourly cost is generally lower.
What are the best options for taking Swedish lessons in Birmingham?
There are several options for learning Swedish in Birmingham, whether you live in the city center or the suburbs. You can use an app or software program to learn basic vocabulary and grammar. You can also join group lessons with Swedish tutors in Birmingham if you prefer a social learning experience. Alternatively, you can take one-on-one lessons with a private tutor, which is more expensive but may be the most effective option if you have a good tutor. Learning online may make private tutors a more affordable choice. Prices vary based on the tutor, but are generally cheaper than in-person lessons in Birmingham.
What is the best way to find a Swedish tutor near me in Birmingham?
If you prefer not to learn online with tutor, LanguaTalk may not be the right choice for you. Instead, you can search for tutor, we recommend giving online learning a try as it is often as good as in-person learning and allows you to access better tutors at a lower cost. You can also book a free trial session to see if it is right for you.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this is available, it will be noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, we recommend 55-minute lessons for most students. You may want to consider 30-minute lessons only if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice, or if the lesson is for a child.
Lessons are conducted one-on-one, allowing you to receive personalized attention from your tutor. lessons are conducted via video call, and you can use any device with a stable internet connection and a webcam to join the lesson.
Your tutor will create a customized lesson plan based on your goals, learning style, and current level. During the lesson, you will have the opportunity to speak, listen, and interact with your tutor in real-time. Your tutor may also provide you with additional materials, such as audio recordings or written exercises, to help you practice and consolidate your learning.
The advantage of taking lessons online is that you can learn at any time and from any location. When you select a tutor, check their calendar to ensure that they have available slots that fit your schedule. Some tutors may have limited availability due to high demand from other students.
