With a decade of experience from teaching ballet, and from teaching in Alternative Education (high school) back in New Zealand, I believe we rise by lifting others. After two years on the other side of the world, I wanted to honour my roots and have my share in keeping Finnish language alive!

Hän on paras kieliopettaja, jonka olen koskaan tavannut. Jokainen oppitunti hänen kanssaan on mukava ja hyödyllinen, koska hän on ystävällinen, luova ja huomaavainen. Hänen selitystaitonsa on erityisen hyvä, joka auttaa minua oppimaan paljon, erityisesti uusista sanoista ja ääntämistä. She is the best language tutor I have ever met. Every lesson with her is pleasant and useful thanks to her friendly, creative and attentive approach. Her explanation skill is exceptionally good, which helps me learn a lot, especially about new words and pronunciation.

Excellent teacher, I highly highly recommend :) Sylvia has been such a patient and helpful tutor and language-learning companion that I have learnt a lot from. Her knowledge about diverse topics has helped our conversations flow and we can discuss about so many different things. Thank you for your help, insights and advice, I really appreciate it! :D
