Let's make learning fun, pidetään hauskaa yhdessä oppitunnilla! :) I love learning languages! Rakastan kielten opiskelua! :) That's why it is my passion to help others learn my native language. To me Finnish is the most beautiful language in the world, which makes me enjoy teaching it. I love meeting people from all over the world, too. Let's learn about Finland and about your culture - together! Let's get to know each other in Finnish! Opitaan tuntemaan toisemme oppitunneilla! :) I have studied numerous language throughout my life, which makes it easy for me to understand your position as a language learner. Learning a new language takes time and a lot of willpower, but I will do my best to make it a smooth ride for you! :) To me that means being a patient and an empathetic teacher. Learning isn't always linear and it is totally understandable to have times, when you don't have time to do your homework. :) I want to listen to your wishes! If you wish to study more "traditionally", I will find a textbook that suits your level, so that we can go through it chapter by chapter together. That way it is easy to focus on grammar, reading and writing. If you want to focus more on speaking, we can use games that help us with come up with different themes. We can also go through news articles, short clips or social media posts by reading, translating and discussing about them. Don't be afraid to request anything; the lessons are for YOU! Älä pelkää esittää toiveita, teen parhaani, jotta tunnit sopivat juuri SINULLE! :)

I highly recommend my Finnish teacher Annika .She is very friendly, patient and supportive. Her lessons are clear and well organized, and she always encourages me to speak Finnish. I feel more confident after every lesson. Thank you so much for all your help and support!

I’ve just completed my second lesson with Annika, and I think she’s a great teacher and conversation partner. She’s easy to talk to, and the conversations feel relaxed from the very beginning. Annika creates a supportive and encouraging environment where I feel comfortable making mistakes, and she encourages me to speak more. After only two lessons, I can already feel my confidence improving, and I’m looking forward to future lessons.

Kiitos tunnista :) Oli tosi mukavaa päästa puhumaan suomea pitkästa aikaa taas. Annikan kanssa on helppo puhua, auttoi minua kuin olin epävarma ja korjasi minua tarvittaessa. Suosittelen!

Always a pleasure learning with Annika. She is calm, patient, and adapts to my learning preferences. She tailors the lessons to what I would like to learn and how I prefer to learn it, which makes learning Finnish much more interesting and enjoyable 🤗
