Jane Raidma is the best Swedish teacher I have ever met. She always brings a lot of energy and makes the classroom alerts. She focused on every student need, especially in pronunciation. She always takes more prominent in the physical space of the classroom where she can make eye contact and check with everyone. Not only using course literature but she always brings additional grammar exercise, articles, and newspaper that might help us in the learning process. Apart from that, she is the best teacher in teaching Swedish Grammar. She has good teaching technic to make the students understand and her ways of teaching are unique. Cannot find the words to express how good she is in teaching.

Customised, effective, intense and intelligent.
Jane offers far more than a language course on an intensive schedule.
Her knowledge of multiple languages makes it far easier to teach different nationalities.
She will spend more time preparing for lessons than you will.
Not only does she personalise schedule and learning style, she will get out of her way to learn about your specialised subject to provide adequate vocabulary. (from fine spirits and cocktail to metallurgy in my case)
She will play on your strengths to keep the course running while saving time for areas of focus and stay on schedule plowing through material.
On top of all that she has a good understanding of the workings of the mind, and regardless of whether you are more scientific or spiritual she will keep you motivated.
Will help you find strategies to stay productive and focused, in and outside of the “class”.
She will bring you back up to 100% on a bad day and squeeze 300% out of you on a good one, be it with a carrot or a stick – she can wield both well!
She will help you over any barrier – that comes from diagnosed dyslexic/adhd/autistic.
Worth every penny – if you are up for it yourself.

I have been learning Swedish with Jane since I moved to Stockholm; I really enjoy the smart method that Jane is using, she is always very prepared before class and motivating me to work at home before each session to progress faster. Jane is very nice and it is a pleasure each week to work with her as I can see fast the progress I’m making. I highly recommend having her as a teacher to quickly feel integrated in the Swedish culture at work, at home or on the day to day life!
Constance (France)
My experience with Jane was extraordinary. I have learned Swedish really fast from zero level. She was very involved in my learning process through motivational words, feedback after classes and high exigency, she was very kind and patient. She was interested in my emotional process too, so I think she is a good teacher and an excellent person. 100% recommended.

Dear Jane,
I too look very much forward to studying with you and I am so happy to have found you. You are very special person and you have a lovely energy about you. I can already tell that you have a way of not only transmitting knowledge in languages but you also create joy and harmony with you sunny disposition. I have been around enough to know that takes a lot to be able to do, it is a great skill.
Thank you for accepting me as your student.Sonja (Finland)
Taking lessons with Jane was the right choice for me, because I wanted to learn in my own pace, my own timeschedule and my own rhythm.
All this was possible due to Janes experience and well structured course planning.
She is putting a lot of heart in the personal lessons, is focused, well prepared and always full of energy to improve yourself in every lesson.
You are being picked up, right where you are standing and if you are willing to put in a real effort, great progress is waiting for you.Eva Callsen Bracker (Germany)
My private lessons with Jane were very effective and fun. I was looking forward to them and felt drained but a lot wiser after each one of them. Intensive is the word! Jane is not joking around, she is there to make you progress. But despite all the hard work, she manages to make the lessons feel very safe, comfortable and fun. It really helped me come out of my shell and progress at great speed, with a solid basis. I’m so glad I took this course!

Jane’s care and dedication really helped me improve my Swedish in a short space of time. Within weeks I was writing short texts, understanding what I overheard, and having basic conversations in Swedish. In addition to the textbook, Jane curates extra material to really ensure you are learning as much as you can. I highly recommend the course.
Claire O´Connor (Irland)
Jane is an absolute pleasure to work with. The personal lessons were specifically tailored to my needs and the course was always highly engaging and interactive. Jane uses plenty of resources to simplify the learning approach and provide a lot of practice material. I left the course with the basics of the Swedish language, a warm welcome to the Swedish culture, and many memorable conversations.

I recommend Jane 100 percent as Swedish language instructor! She makes Swedish learning fun and always use customised approach for candidates. I needed to rapidly improve my Swedish for obtaining license to practice medicine in Sweden and she focused on medical swedish as well as conversational skill. I took one to one teaching from her and got my C1 competency in a short time. If someone is looking for learning swedish in a fun way and also getting to know Swedish culture, Jane can be the best choice for that!
Anika Medical Doctor (Asia)
We moved to Sweden at the end of last year and decided to learn Swedish. Jane was recommended to us and we have been thrilled since the first online lesson! Jane is flexible which allows us to fit the hours (4.5 hours/week) into our busy schedule. This means we can learn Swedish efficiently despite having a full-time job and still have a lot of fun at the same time. Jane is not only a very nice personality but also a very good teacher. We started from scratch and quickly learned the tools we needed to get by in everyday Swedish life. We have decided that we will keep the lessons indefinitely because we are not only challenged and supported, but also have fun learning.
We can recommend Jane to any newcomer and assure that he/she will not regret it.
Have fun learning Swedish 🙂
Lauren and Lukas (UK and Germany)
I accepted a professional music job in Sweden in early 2023. Before relocating, I desired a brief and intense Swedish language introduction. My partner discovered Jane’s course, and we soon began lessons via Skype. Jane created a fast-paced curriculum as appropriate groundwork for my transition. As a native English speaker with several years of university German language study, I found the course focused, fun, and positive for my needs.
Nicholas Schmelter (The United States)
Jane is an energetic and creative person. She has the ability to simplify subjects, communicate effectively and adapt well to the situation at hand. Jane is a sociable and assertive person who is passionate about the things she does. It has been a privilege to be her student.
Aishwarya Gundaiah (India)
Jane has a lot of extra materials that she uses such as storybooks and articles from daily newspapers that are easy to read and are really helpful in making the learning process interesting, up-to-date and connected to the everyday happenings in society.
Farshad Naghibi (Iran)
Jane has lived in many places which have given her a broad perspective that is reflected in her teaching style. My conversation skills improved dramatically thanks to her way to find find interesting and relevant topics to discuss. Her ability to connect with students, keeping them focused during the sessions is impeccable.
Sara Abouzari (Iran)
Having been learning and using basic Swedish for years, I noticed it was difficult for the native speakers to explain the “strange” expressions, words and sentences that I encountered during the work. Jane was patient using a logic and linguistic way to answer my collected questions every week.
Patrik Ye (China)
Jane engages and inspires students during the study process which helped me to adopt to new environment faster and perform better. My course was intensive and never was boring.
Evgeny Senatov (Russia)
Jane has an infectious enthusiasm and a genuine interest in each participant. Jane’s positive attitude made it easy to be in a good mood, and the lessons were a great start to the day. As a result of the course, I got more confident in talking in Swedish and improved my grammar and vocabulary a lot. While it was intense, I used to look forward to every lesson. I really enjoyed Jane as my Swedish teacher.
Silvia Huttner (Austria)
What I really liked about the lessons from Jane is that I set a goal upfront and she got me there; I wanted to reach a certain level in a certain time and we went to work methodically. Jane has a lot of passion for the Swedish language and I felt she was super committed to getting me where I wanted to be.
Judith Akkerman (Netherlands)
Jane is a great teacher, I had a quick progression and was able to speak correct Swedish after only a few months. If you are looking for quick and good results I would 100 percent recommend her ! She uses different kinds of material and organizes small groups for better learning.
Tack för dina fina ord och all hjälp du gav mig !
Du är en inspiration Jane, glöm inte det !
Ella Faiz Medical Doctor (Morocco)
Jane is an outstanding teacher, par excellence. You would be incredibly fortunate to work with someone as passionate, patient, and positive as she is. Her infectious optimism shines through in everything she does, making learning Swedish with her an absolute joy. Our lessons were always a highlight of my day. She tailored each session to my goals and interests, incorporating news clips and articles relevant to my studies. Jane has a remarkable talent for identifying weak points in my learning and designing targeted drills to strengthen those areas. If you’re looking for a tutor with dedication, a genuine love for teaching, and the expertise to match, I can offer no stronger recommendation than working with Jane.
Best regards,
Avi Ross
Jane was recommended to me by a friend after I mentioned my disappointment with studying Swedish in public schools. From our very first meeting, where we discussed my goals, I got a great feeling, and Jane reignited my motivation to learn Swedish. The 15 lessons I’ve had so far have always been well-prepared and tailored to my level. If you are willing to invest in your personal development, you will get a lot in return. I can highly recommend Jane as a teacher—she goes the extra mile in every lesson!
