Hi! I’m Pinja from Helsinki, Finland — welcome to my profile!
I’m a native speaker of both Swedish (Finland Swedish) and Finnish. I also speak fluent English and Spanish, and I’m currently studying Korean and German. I have an MSc in Business Administration (Marketing major, Asian Studies minor). I’ve lived in Spain and Sweden and I’m currently based in the Philippines.
In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, making good coffee, reading, salsa/bachata dancing, and playing table tennis. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your Swedish or Finnish language learning journey!
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, I encourage my students to speak freely and make mistakes. I believe that the fear of making mistakes is what often holds us back from learning, so my main goal is to help you feel confident and relaxed when speaking. I’m engaging, patient, and flexible, and I always try to identify each student’s needs in order to tailor the class to the person.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons are mainly conversation-focused, but if you want we can also work with textbooks and practice reading, writing, grammar, or listening. Methods we can use include free conversation, topic-based conversation, reading and pronunciation practice, dictation, role plays, picture descriptions, and guided exercises.
I had a great with Pinja, I highly recommend her as a Swedish teacher. We had a little conversation in Swedish and English before we worked on my reading skills in Swedish. Thanks again for all your help. Have a nice week. See you soon.

That was overly cool nice and I enjoyed that till its fullest. Pinja is supportive, knows how to maintain convesration and is able to adjust her Swedish level according to my language level as a student — quite rare to meet quality. That made me feel very comfortable, supported and even quite confident. Highly satisfied and I'll consider studying with her on permanent basis!
