About Me
italki teacher since May 19, 2023Interest topicMusicArtPets & Animals
Hello there! My name is Anniina, and I'm a native speaker of Finnish. I'm a qualified singing and piano teacher. I also love to teach Finnish!
I have been teaching Finnish in iTalki for a year now and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's great to meet people from all over the world and gain new insights on the Finnish language! I'm learning from my students all the time :)
Before teaching Finnish, I was teaching music for three years. I also have experience from doing opera and various other music projects. As a classically trained singer, I know how to sing in many different languages!
My other interests include nature, houseplants, yoga, knitting, and a nice cup of coffee.Me as a Teacher
I believe that in language learning, the main thing is that you talk and communicate as much as you can. When you keep doing that, you can't help but learn to express yourself better in any language! Listening to native level language is also crucial - especially hearing the actual spoken language that natives speak! Spoken Finnish, for example, is quite different from formal Finnish.
I'm an emphatic and patient teacher and I can adjust my speaking pace and style to any level. In my lessons, you will feel relaxed and safe. As a music teacher I know that a supportive atmosphere is vital for learning! I'm also more than happy to adjust the lessons to student's needs.My lessons & teaching style
I have prepared structured lessons for basics, and I also provide text documents and homework assignments for those. Each lessons has a general topic (introductions, work, hobbies, etc.) that we focus on, learning the vocabulary and common phrases. The key here is to repeat, repeat, repeat!
For more advanced students, getting some conversation practice is essential. Whenever you're at the level where you can express yourself comfortably in Finnish, I encourage you to book a Conversation Practice lesson with me.
I can also check and proofread written texts, and polish them into natural and convincing Finnish!My teaching material

I struggled with conversation practice due to my low skill level, but she was incredibly patient and kind. I truly appreciate it! The lesson was a lot of fun, and I discovered new things :) Kiitos jälleen, Anniina.

Anniina is a wonderful teacher! I've been having lessons with her for about 5 months so far, and she's helped me to progress a lot. She also recommended useful and interesting resources for my specific learning goals that I use to study by myself. Highly recommend lessons with Anniina to everyone who needs a calm and confident teacher who cares a lot about students.

The slides she provides enhance the usual topics in a more advanced, deep way and I love it. I feel like I'm making more significant progress this way.
