Hei! My name is Siru, and I'm Finnish but I live in Barcelona. I work as a medical translator and I teach Finnish and Esperanto. I hold a BA in Icelandic and an MA in Translation Studies, both from the University of Iceland. I have studied many languages and I'm currently learning Nahuatl and Turkish. Besides language learning, I love singing, reading, knitting and painting pottery.Me as a Teacher
My main goal as a teacher is to make the student feel relaxed and confident. My lessons are a safe space and I focus on the positive things.My lessons & teaching style
I love grammar, and therefore I'm offering grammar classes. The students can request a certain topic, or I can suggest some options. I also offer conversational classes, during which I can explain some grammatical aspects and vocabulary, if needed. I'm here for the students, so don't hesitate to ask if there's something you'd like to learn and you're not sure whether it fits the classes I offer.My teaching material

The teacher was very nice and friendly. The atmosphere was great, and it was a pleasure to talk with her. I would be happy to have another lesson :)

Again a great learning experience. I like that I have the time to formulate sentences and "experiment" to find the correct word endings without feeling stressed. It helps me to realise that I possibly know more than I expected.

Thank you for your interest in my studies and my field of interest. As you most likely noticed, I love talking about archeology and it's a good way to keep me talking Finnish, but I don't want you to get bored. So if you've ever enough of this topic just say so.
And let me say, that I enjoy our conversations very much and I felt welcome in your lessons right from the start! It's so motivating to have the feeling to be able to talk fluently. And though I'm sure that I still make enough mistakes, it seems that you can understand what I want to tell and that really makes me happy! So Kiitos paljon!

Siru is consistently a kind and knowledgeable teacher. Today I shared a short translation I had done (English to Esperanto) and she was very helpful & encouraging while reviewing it and giving feedback. Excellent class! :)

Talking to Siru is a real pleasure and we laugh a lot. I can talk to her without inhibitions and that gives me confidence in my Finnish skills.

Talking freely in a foreign language is easy, when someone is interested in what you have to say. Thanks Siru, for finding the right questions, I want to answer. That's really motivating.
