Just ask my mom!
“My Siggi is a unique boy. He is patient, understanding, and always ready to put himself in others’ shoes. Siggi respects everybody and is ready to listen to different points of view. There is no question so insignificant that he isn’t ready to find ways to answer it in such a way that I understand what the question was really about. Siggi is also helpful, punctual, and reliable in anything he sets his mind on. I am so lucky to have this wonderful son.”
What private students have to say
"I feel really fortunate to have Siggi as my teacher. My confidence in my ability to learn has increased massively - Siggi found the right mix between encouraging me and pushing me to try harder - always with humour. I feel like I have made real progress."
"Siggi is a great resource for learning Icelandic! He is very professional with his lessons and makes the material easy to understand. Plus, he is friendly, patient, and easy to work with for scheduling. I highly recommend studying Icelandic with Siggi!"
"Siggi was my first teacher of Icelandic and since then I have loved the way he teaches. When I found out he was teaching Icelandic private classes I didn’t hesitate to reach out to him. My Icelandic has improved a lot since he became my teacher.
"Siggi is a great teacher. If you are looking for someone who will tailor the class completely to you, brings in great humor and unconventional new ways to tickle your brain waves to reach new language levels he is your go-to-person. Absolutely recommended."
“Siggi is one of those rare teachers who can deftly teach both the basics of Icelandic but also the nitty-gritty advanced details. Best of all, his multilingual background ensures an empathetic education from a teacher who understands learning a new language."
“I was very impressed with Siggi’s energetic and engaged way of teaching. He was available, friendly, competent, and knowledgeable and I learned a lot from our classes. I can thoroughly recommend Siggi as a teacher.”
"Siggi turns learning Icelandic into an adventure! He is very professional, resourceful, patient and FUN! He has great sense of humor, he always finds a way to make learning Icelandic easier. Simply the best teacher you can imagine!"
"By far the most effective teacher I had, Siggi knows his stuff and is a pretty cool dude."
What independent students have to say
"I am really happy and surprised with my results: after just 2-3 weeks my understanding of Icelandic increased significantly. The Q&A sessions were really helpful. I would definitely recommend the course to everybody."
I have a busy life and cannot always count on a consistent time to meet with someone. With this program, I had the freedom to work whenever I had a free moment. I have learned so much, all on my timetable and not someone else's.
“I wasn’t sure if I would be able to learn on my own, but tried the course and noticed a change after 3 weeks, even though I didn’t spend a lot of time on it every day. You don’t need to have a lot of time. If you have a lot of questions about the Icelandic language, go for it!”
"I've seen my skills improve greatly and I am very happy with the results. The learning process suits me perfectly because it is tangible and you're in charge of your own learning pace. I just need to keep up the good work!"
"I was concerned that I would stop being self-directed after the first week... kind of like buying a gym membership, but I went ahead anyway, and it helps you to stay focused and accountable for your own progress. It’s a great supplement to self-directed learning."
Investment into the self-study course with Siggi was the best decision. Thanks to him, my Icelandic improved so much in the last 3 months. After attending classes in HÍ, I can say that he is the best teacher I've ever had and HÍ would be lucky to have him.
“I used to be afraid of speaking Icelandic, not making much progress. But now learning a language is damn easy and so much fun! I've learned more Icelandic in three weeks with this course than in my entire life. And I did a BA in Icelandic.”
