Living in Vancouver? See Swedish tutors' reviews & videos
If you're unable to find an affordable private Swedish tutor in Vancouver for in-person language lessons, online learning may be a good alternative. To take lessons with a Swedish tutor in your area, you may have to pay more to cover their travel costs or travel to their home, and the average cost of private Swedish lessons in Vancouver is over $20 per hour. With online learning, you can save on travel expenses and have access to top tutors from around the world.
Many students who try online language lessons with a tutor are pleasantly surprised by the experience. At LanguaTalk, lessons are 1-on-1 to ensure you get your tutor's full attention and can make rapid progress.

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.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to find a Swedish tutor in my area of Vancouver?
If you prefer in-person lessons over online learning, LanguaTalk may not be the best fit for you. Instead, you can search for a tutor on a local service listing website or place an advertisement in your area. However, we do encourage you to try online learning – you have nothing to lose by booking a free trial session. Many students find that the online experience is just as good as in-person learning, with the added benefit of access to higher quality tutors at a lower cost.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also offer Swedish lessons in Vancouver?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may also provide in-person lessons in Vancouver, but most only offer online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. Additionally, most tutors are not located in Vancouver because they are living elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that the lesson will be conducted online.
What are the differences between learning Swedish with a tutor via video call and learning in person with a Swedish tutor in Vancouver?
Some students might be unsure about learning Swedish online because they think it will be very different from in-person learning. However, many students find that the online experience is similar and they often develop strong relationships with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your selected tutor, you'll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor may also share learning resources with you (such as newspaper articles or YouTube videos) and you'll be able to collaborate in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
How much do Vancouver Swedish tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average hourly rate for private Swedish lessons in Vancouver is between $25-$35. Since online tutors don't have to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, their hourly rate tends to be significantly lower.
LanguaTalk offers personalized 1-on-1 Swedish lessons with top-rated tutors. Here's how to get started:
1 - Find a tutor that meets your needs by reviewing their videos, reviews, pricing, and availability.
2 - Book a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a free 30-minute trial, while others offer a discounted trial price.
3 - Have personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or try a different tutor if desired.
You don't need to provide credit card information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you're seriously considering taking lessons. Tutor prices vary, and you can use the filter to find one that fits your budget. You can pay for individual lessons or purchase a package for a discount (view a tutor's pricing options on their profile).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning on LanguaTalk. Our platform is trusted by students worldwide because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on tutor profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications, unlike other platforms.
To access our full list of FAQs or get assistance from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students sharing their experiences learning on LanguaTalk below.
One of the benefits of online lessons is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, simply check their calendar to ensure that they have times that fit your schedule. Some tutors may have limited availability due to high demand.
Lessons are taught one-on-one to ensure that you receive customized instruction. During the lessons, your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including language exercises, conversation practice, and cultural notes, to help you reach your learning objectives.
All lessons take place via video call. Your tutor will normally give you a choice of calling tools, all of which are easy to use.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this option is available, it will be noted on the tutor's profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, 55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. 30-minute lessons may be suitable if you're taking lessons for your child or if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If a tutor does not offer a free trial, the trial price will be 30 percent of their full lesson price, allowing you to still try a session at a reduced cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to determine if the tutor is a good fit for you and get a sense of what online learning is like. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so that they can tailor any lessons you choose to take. You'll be encouraged to speak as much as possible in Swedish, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
