About Me
italki teacher since Jul 8, 2020Me as a Teacher
I never learned a language in school, I learned on my feet. As a teacher I emphasise practicality and straightforwardness. As soon as you know three words, I’ll ask you to put them into a sentence. With me you won’t be ‘taught’ per se, you will be invited to learn by doing, to try things out, and to accumulate competence upon what you already know. My students quickly learn to ask me ‘can I say…? (voinks mä sanoa…?)’ followed by something they have just formulated. Before long, they start to create perfectly applicable and natural sounding Finnish sentences (which can often be short and make absolutely no sense when translated to English) by applying Finnish the same way Finns do.My lessons & teaching style
It makes no difference to me if you know grammar, as long as you know how to apply it correctly in practice. I want you to be able to express yourself, and to understand what’s happening around you as you begin to navigate your life in Finnish. My students often come to me with their real life problems, such as reading the road signs, passing the Yki-test, communicating effectively at work or with their partner, buying salmon, asking for help/refusing to do something politely and so on. These problems and the application of language to confront them will serve as the foundation of our lessons together, just as they have for me personally and to countless other students of mine before you.5.0

My main task was to start speaking Finnish. I was so afraid to speak because of the language barrier and besides I had quite a narrow vocabulary. I was very nervous during my first lesson with Jenni, but she was super attentive, smiley, good-looking, smart and patient. Every lesson we touched different themes, so my vocabulary began to widen and my language barrier broke. I would like to mention that we had a very friendly vibe during our online sessions and I liked it a lot. No dominance, no pressure, no depreciation. Only respect, understanding and total support. I appreciate much how she was continuously trying to plant a seed of puhekieli in my head, because it is very important in everyday life. In the beginning I refused to pay attention to it, but then I got used to it. This soft transition was a surprise for me, but it's 100% Jenni's credit. Kiitos kovasti, Jenni!

Jenni continues to encourage me throughout each lesson. She has helped me build on my existing knowledge so I can create sentences and ask questions. Not only is she helping increase my understanding of Finnish, but she is increasing my confidence to use it as well. Kiitos paljon Jenni!

After about six months with Jenni, I decided to enrol in a finnish course on the side for fun. It surprised me that I am one of the strongest ones in the class in speaking ability, largely in part due to all the help and practice during sessions with Jenni! Focusing on real conversation has helped me learn the most useful vocab right away. Our sessions are invaluable!

Before the classes with Jenni, I was afraid to speak Finnish. But Jenni’s smile and her positive attitude helped me not to be afraid and to practice Finnish. Every lesson she makes very useful notes that help me a lot. We have been studying together for almost a year, and I am happy that I met her. I can strongly recommend Jenni as a great teacher. Kiitos paljon Jenni!

Jeeni is a nice teacher and has a really warm and great energy to work with. She can help with anything you ask based on your needs. She is also friendly and really patient to explain and practice during the lessons and knows a lot of Finnish grammar. I appreciate she was always on time for our lessons and helpful everytime i had something to ask through the chat. Kiitos!
