Hi, I’m Stephan — Nurse, Educator, and Norwegian Language Mentor I’m a licensed nurse from Molde, a charming coastal town in northwest Norway. My professional background spans hospitals, nursing homes, and home care services, and I currently balance two fulfilling roles: working as a nurse for the municipality of Stavanger and teaching as a substitute lecturer at the University of Stavanger. Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with colleagues from all over the world — including Spain, Germany, Hungary, Portugal, Brazil, and several African countries. I’ve seen how demanding the Norwegian language can be, particularly when it comes to documentation and patient communication. Those everyday questions from coworkers — “How do I say this correctly in Norwegian?” — motivated me to start helping other international healthcare professionals communicate with confidence and precision. My mission is to teach practical, natural Norwegian that fits real healthcare settings. Whether you’re preparing for the Norskprøve, starting a new job, or aiming to sound more fluent and professional at work, I’ll guide you step by step toward your goal. At the University of Stavanger, I also work as a clinical instructor, supporting nursing students during their practical placements. My teaching style focuses on reflection and observation, encouraging learners to connect theory with real-life patient care. I also help students refine their written work — ensuring clarity, structure, and academic accuracy in Norwegian. Many of my students have multilingual backgrounds, and I provide extra guidance to help them master both spoken and written communication. Having lived and worked abroad myself, I understand how vital language is — not just for avoiding misunderstandings, but for earning trust and respect in professional environments. Outside of work, you’ll often find me hiking in the mountains or exploring Norway’s breathtaking coastline. If you’re ready to strengthen your Norwegian — for healthcare, exams, or daily life — I’d love to help. Book a trial lesson, and let’s design a personalized plan that fits your goals and learning style. With my experience in nursing and teaching, I know exactly what kind of Norwegian helps you communicate naturally, document with accuracy, and succeed in your career. Let’s build your confidence in Norwegian — one purposeful, motivating step at a time.
