Hi!
I'm Sara, a native Finnish speaker. Right now I study in the Netherlands and have lived in the United States as well as an exchange student.
My main purpose here right now is to teach Finnish for students who plan to go on a student exchange to Finland. Since I have lived abroad twice, I have first hand experience of what are the key elements of a language that help one to function in a completely new language environment. I also want to teach culture related to the language, meaning how Finnish people use their language to also communicate between the lines.
Me as a Teacher
I love helping people! For example, I have experience as an instructor in various sports and as a substitute teacher in the Finnish school system as well. I am kind and patient and really willing to listen to every student's own goals and wishes in learning Finnish.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are targetted to students who have just began learning Finnish or want to start learning it with me. I use materials that have been designed for that level, including written text and spoken language. With each student I want to make an individual plan for the personal goals with the language learning.
