Living in Tampere, Finland

I am interested in many topics, travelling, culture (literature, art, cinema, theater, music etc), sports, society, languages, different cultures of different countries. I have travelled a lot and I have been living in many countries. I find it very interesting and rewarding. I have two University degrees and I have been teaching finnish and swedish both for beginners and business people. I have also worked as a translator. The most challenging mission was in Monaco, where very talented multilingual people wanted to learn swedish and finnish and learn it fast, because they did business with Scandinavian countries. I begin planning my lessons after I have talked with the customer, and I know her/his level and what is the goal of the person. I have, of course, books and planned lessons, which I have had before but I try to create an atmosphere where the student is not afraid to make misstakes and we have a relaxed and positive attitude, maybe even fun but always focused!

Heikki is very helpful and easy to talk to. He's not someone that you feel dumb making a mistake with. He's always patient and helps you formulate your sentences in a more natural or native way. I would recommend anyone trying to learn Finnish to work with Heikki to practice speaking and listening
