Moi! I'm Iiris — a Finnish teacher specializing in adult learners. My journey with Finnish began in childhood, inspired by picture books about Santa’s homeland. Years later, I moved to Finland as an exchange student and fell in love with the language. Unlike native speakers, I started learning Finnish as an adult—so I truly understand the challenges you're facing! Now, with an MA in Finnish language and over 2.5 years of teaching experience, I combine academic expertise with real-world learning strategies. My lessons are a great fit if you want to: - Master grammar (my specialty!) - Build confidence in speaking - Explore Finnish culture (I love sharing travel tips too!)

Today we went over some homework on K-P-T changes and Iiris was very helpful in providing feedback on mistakes but more importantly, helping me notice mistakes on my own, we also started working on partitive. Kiitos!

I enjoy my language classes with Iiris. The atmosphere is always relaxed, which helps me concentrate and learn more effectively. She explains new vocabulary and grammar rules clearly, and she always takes the time to answer my questions.

Iiris is such a wonderful Finnish teacher. She is kind, patient, and provides a structured lesson. As someone who is basically a complete beginner, Iiris has really helped me find a learning space where I can feel comfortable and excited to take on such a daunting language. she offers structure and a plan of attack for every student. I couldn't recommend here more. Looking forward to our next lesson.
