Hello, my name is Kristiina and I'm from Finland. As a lover of languages and different cultures, I'm here to help people from various backgrounds improve their Finnish.
I'm currently studying to become a Finnish as a foreign language teacher. Having studied multiple languages over the years (German, English, Swedish, Latin, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese), I can definitely empathise with the joys and sorrows of learning a new language. Therefore, my goal is to create an environment where people are not afraid to make mistakes and have fun.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a Community Tutor, I am approachable and easy to talk to. I like lessons where you learn a lot while also having fun. I'm currently studying to become a Finnish as a foreign language teacher.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
We will practice Finnish in a relaxed environment.
Based on your wishes and skill level, we will look at Finnish texts and any relevant grammatical features, go through them together, and then practice them orally. I will support you by leading the conversation. We can also do role-play practice on real-life situations.
We can conduct the class entirely in Finnish, or in English and Finnish, depending on your skill level.
You are also free to bring your own material in case you have any questions about the Finnish language that you need help with.
Please note that I'm NOT a good fit for people looking to learn highly specialised vocabulary (e.g. healthcare sector).
I took few lessons with Kristiina and I have never been disappointed! I really enjoy talking in Finnish with her, about lots of things. Sometimes I get to choose what I want to talk about and it is always a pleasure to talk with her. One hour goes fast!

Lessons with Kriistina are fun and flexible. I am able to work on my weaknesses and improve in the areas that are most important for me. Kriistina is patient and very helpful, which makes the learning environment stress-free and encouraging. I struggled with studying Finnish at university, because of my neurodiversity, but I was finally able to start speaking more freely during lessons with Kriistina. I strongly recommend her classes!

I really enjoy our conversations with Kristiina, I am choosing a podcast's episode that I am interested about, send it to her, and she will make questions based on the theme of the podcast so that we can have very interesting chat together about this specific theme! I wouldn't have think being able to talk about loneliness or technology in Finnish but here we are! Kristiina is very nice, helpful and send me afterward the pdf with the questions and vocabulary that I needed! Kiitos!
