"I had the chance to follow a Danish language course of thirty lessons with Tina, and it was an excellent experience. When I started, I barely knew a few Danish words, and over the time, Tina was directing me in real life conversations over 30 minutes. Tina made the discussions fluid and interesting. It was also a good opportunity to learn useful and diverse vocabulary. She focused on the pronunciation, which was my major pain point. She also covered during the thirty lessons all the grammar concepts that are necessary to build correct sentences in Danish. Tina is professional, organized, positive, nice, and interested in discovering people and their cultures. She has excellent communication skills, which make the lessons with her very enjoyable. I definitely recommend Tina to learn Danish!"

"I got a course with Tina Nielsen in order to become better in making presentation in Danish at my workplace, moreover to be better in the everyday conversation. I’m very glad for the results, feel more comfortable on the meetings now and my vocabulary was pretty much expanded. After the course it becomes easier to tell some stories without searching for the necessary words and substituting them with the English ones. Besides we did many pronunciation exercises, which helped me to focus on the typical mistakes, I make and I’m not aware of and to get rid of them. I think, Tina is a very professional teacher and she is very nice as a person, which is important , when it comes to communication in foreign language. I could recommend working with Tina to them, who are targeted and prefer a nice, comfortable atmosphere during the class. Thank you, Tina for our course!."

"I have completed my MBA on October 2013 from International Business Academy (IBA), Kolding and I was very lucky that I met Tina from www.link2danish on July 2013 after I had just completed my thesis. Tina is enthusiastic and focuses on students needs. She has her own unique way of approaching students and teaching methods. We were three in a group and we all were from Nepal. Time was never an issue in our class instead we used to get a lot of extra time to discuss various questions. She was also interested in learning different culture and it was a great opportunity for both of us to exchange our cultural experience. Every single class we had was unforgettable. After we have completed 10 lessons we attended Dansk Prøve 1 and we all three got 12 and I also got 8.5 in Dansk Prøve 2 that I had never expected. I strongly recommend that if some would like to use their time and money more efficiently to learn Danish language than they should choose Tina. Lastly, I am very thankful for your time and effort, Tina. Miss you."

"After three years of working in Denmark, I had learned Danish by picking it up at my workplace. As a Swede, I had no problems of understanding and making myself understood, but I felt I needed some more confidence from better pronunciation and grammar when holding meetings etc. Tina is a fantastic teacher, she is a very good listener and together we managed to identify what I needed to get better at. During the course we realized that I could also benefit from better understanding the nuances in the Danish language, especially for improving my written communication. Tina certainly helped me with all of this, and since she is also a wonderful and fun person it never even felt like I was having lessons. I also appreciated meeting other people in the same situation over Friday beers, something Tina arranges for her students every now and then."

"I met Tina after trying two other Danish courses. Learning with her has been definitely the most time-efficient option. I chose the one-to-one Skype lessons and it has been a great choice, as it gives lots of flexibility and does not take any commuting time. I was a bit worried at the beginning that Skype will make speaking in a foreign language uncomfortable, but Tina is so easy to talk with, that it has never been a problem. So if you are busy or travel a lot, or live far from Copenhagen, Skype lessons with Tina are definitely a great choice. Tina has been really good at making me speak Danish. It often surprises me how much I can actually say. It surprises me even more that Tina understands what I am saying! She knows a lot about everything and is very curious about the world, so her lessons are like a friendly chat, during which she manages to introduce and consolidate new vocabulary and grammar." "

"Coming from the Czech Republic and knowing English and German, I was sure Danish is going to be a piece of cake for me. But the opposite was true. Struggling with the pronunciation, grammar and many mysterious rules, which none of my Danish teachers or friends were able to explain, I was about to give up on this language. Luckily I got Tina as a private teacher through my job and her structure, enthusiasm and responsible attitude to our lectures made me reconsider. Tina is not only the most patient and positive teacher I have ever had, but also one of the most optimistic people you could possibly meet. She knows exactly what kind of education suits you best and her lectures are literally tailor made. Already after first couple of lessons, my level of understanding significantly increased. After completing all 10 lectures I got the courage to speak Danish in public and started to feel incomparably more confident about this language. Tina is both a guarantee of high quality lessons and a nice company - she is the best way how to get linked to Danish:)."

"I am really grateful to Tina for training me in Danish Language and giving me a good understanding of Danish Culture and Society. I arrived in Denmark a few months back and didn't have any Danish language skills. Since my government sponsored classes won't begin for another 2 months, I thought of better investing my time in a dedicated Danish training class. I was lucky, I found link2danish.dk and Tina had a class starting in 2 weeks time, so I enrolled for the course. Its been really great, Tina is really well experienced in giving training for beginners and the course is scientifically structured to jog your mind while learning the language so that you pick up an amazingly detailed level of information about the language and grammar, with out the course actually being too much grammar centric. In Just 10 sessions it equips you to be able to read and write and understand some conversations too. You get ample opportunity to speak in Danish during the sessions and if we keep up the same level of conversations in Danish for a month or so, one can get reasonably fluent in the language. She also has tests designed to assess our level of understanding at the end of the course, so we can assess where we stand with our Danish skills. Its been a really great experience and I recommend link2danish for people who are starting their life in Denmark."

"Finding Tina’s link on a Google search was the best thing I could do. I tried to find a Danish tutor locally in my home country Zimbabwe but I was unable to do so. So when I emailed Tina the next day I got reply from her to say she can offer Skype lessons provided there was a stable and good network. I was like happy days I can do my Danish lessons. During my search online I found some free Danish sites I just wanted to see what I was getting myself into. It looked pretty much hard. Now about Tina, I found her teaching technics to be very helpful given that I had never heard anyone speak Danish to me. Tina is very patient and takes her time to correct you . The teaching material she provides is very helpful more importantly you can play the material over and over again. So for you all that are trying to take up Danish for the very first time I would suggest you give Tina a chance.

Tina, tusind tak for at hjælpe mig. Jeg er glad."

"Tina uses a unique technique in teaching the Danish Language. She has designed a way of instructing students where she adjusts to the capabilities of the individual while focusing on one's need. My friend and I are from the Philippines, but we are both working in Greenland. Tina figured out a way to make it easier for us. The manner on how we absorb the lessons were taken into consideration and she focused on where we had the most difficulty and improved it. She used a variety of teaching materials which were very easy to use, helpful, very organized and up to date. The location was very cozy and we felt like we were home. She was really nice and what we really liked was her flexibility with time, places and the adjustments of lesson which would benefit her students. After the class is done, we still keep in touch, and the teaching has never stopped. Our goals were met and we learned a lot in the small amount of time. We definitely recommend her, and we are really satisfied. We miss our conversations and role-plays. Thanks Tina."

"Learning a foreign language can often feel like an uphill struggle. I should know, as I’ve been trying for a number of years. So it’s a massive relief when you finally find a teacher that removes the gradient and turns that struggle into a pleasure. And that’s exactly what Tina masters. Her open and honest desire to communicate brushes aside any concern over one’s ability to make sense in a foreign tongue. Flow is her objective and with the right balance of acknowledgement and correction, she promotes a ‘it must be possible’ attitude and the desire to move on.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tina to anyone wishing to learn Danish. She recognises the importance of language as a tool to live and enjoy the pleasure of integrating within a culture and its people. I can already feel the difference, mostly within my positive attitude towards the pleasure in ‘having a go’. With very little English spoken within class I’ve amazed myself at how much we’ve covered in such a such a short time. Thank you Tina."
