For the moment, I am back in Tallinn, Estonia. In addition to languages, I'm curious about cultures and learning different perspectives and I like discussing abstract ideas, food, music, travelling, books, health, and science. I also play badminton, go running and climbing and I have been a scout pretty much all my life. I'm excited to hear about your language-learning journey and hope to get to know you soon! Check out my little social media project for Estonian learners @estonianwithgrete (Insta /TikTok) @AskEstonian (YT) Apart from tutoring here, I've had language exchanges over 4 years, where I've been teaching Estonian and English while learning some other languages myself. I have also organised interactive language cafes in Tallinn, Estonia, to help foreigners improve their language skills.

I am very happy to have classes with Grete. She is very helpful and patient and the classes pass pleasantly. I am surprised that after a few lessons I can have a short conversation at the beginning of class.

I’ve very much enjoyed my talks with Grete in the last two months. We have covered an array of topics about Estonia or around the small but often confusing and even humorous differences between Estonian and my native Finnish languages. For practical reasons I’m having a summer break now, but I am very much looking forward to carrying on with Grete in the autumn!

I really like the order in which Grete organizes the learning materials. It makes much sense and creates a nice step-by-step learning process. Grete addresses all my needs and happily answers all my questions. I'm enjoying learning Estonian with Grete.

Grete reminds me of how I started teaching (I have been teaching for 5 years - started tutoring online). She has a lot of enthusiasm for Estonian and supporting her learners. She gives explaination and correct mistakes when necessary. She found very interesting articles to read and provide interesting prompts for written exercise,
