About me

Hello, I'm Birgitta! I have been teaching English at Montessori schools for 25 years. It is not only possible, but very useful to teach foreign languages ​​according to Montessori principles: students of all ages can learn languages ​​best in a self-directed, self-determined manner and in mixed groups. Autonomous language learning offers a framework for this that can be implemented in any type of school.
I share my findings and experiences in workshops, courses and in-school training courses. You can also find them in the three books that I have written together with colleagues or on my own.
