Rock Solid Experience in English Teaching

Since 2003 I taught more than 200 MPs from Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania how to communicate in English in the most productive and efficient way. In my experience the best way to teach MPs and soldiers is to pin point their specific level and target the teaching at this.

My Basis for Teaching Specialized

I founded the Academic Consulting Group to support the Danish Military Police that expressed a wish to teach English to deploying troops.

For the past six years I have taught 2-4 teams (consisting of 5-25 students) each year and participated in the final preparation of the teams before going abroad.

Academic Consulting Group also provided support to most of the MP contingents from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania when these nations participated in missions.

My professional background:

• Two years as an enlisted sergeant.

• More than 15 years as a reservist sergeant in the Military Police

• Studied History and English at the University of Southern Denmark and graduated as Master of Arts.

• 12 months as in a temporary position as Head of Section at the Logistics Regiment at Aalborg Barracks.

Utilizing Learning Styles in my Teaching

My experiences mentioned above provide me with a unique insight in the world of the armed forces, in different ways of teaching/reaching soldiers and with a broad knowledge of the working of the Army administration at all levels of Command.

I am a professional teacher and I not only understand the principles of learning but have practical experience in the application of learning theories in the teaching environment. For the past five years I have been employed as a teacher at a school/home for kids who are unsuitable for ordinary schools. This job has provided with with a broad understanding of different approaches to teaching via the theories of learning styles.

My Vision: English Teaching in the Armed Forces

Within a decade I hope that more personnel within the armed forces of more countries realize that communication is a forgotten discipline that is extremely important. All over the world nations work together in/for NATO and UN – and to do this efficiently we must be able to communicate in one common easy-to-learn-language. And English would be the best choice since most countries of the world have this as a part of their schools' curriculum. Academic Consulting Group also offers this approach to specialized teaching to the armed forces of other countries. Our techniques are applicable to any language and is not restricted to native Danish speakers.
