About Me
italki teacher since Mar 10, 2020
Hello! I am 26 years old psychology student from Finland. I am living and studying in Italy, in a beautiful city of Bologna. Learning languages has always played a big role in my life; I learned English in Finland when I was a child, afterwards I went to university in Italy, where my Italian was put to good use. I have always been passionate about different cultures and languages, and I learned Spanish while being an au pair and Portuguese when I went to Brazil as an exchange student.

I've been having weekly lessons with Ida for almost 3 months now, and I am incredibly happy to learn with her! She makes me feel at ease despite my very limited knowledge of Finnish, and I actually often find our conversations quite fun. She also has a talent for speaking so clearly and slowly (and probably choosing simple vocabulary) that I actually understand her very well. She keeps a helpful "logbook" of concepts and vocabulary, and gives me suitable grammar topics and resources to study (and then actually practices them with me in the next lesson :D), or even comes up with exercises herself if I struggle with something. She also has good resources for starting conversations suitable to my level, and with keeping me talking - I found it frustrating in the past when teachers started topics which were completely out of my reach. This does not happen with Ida :) And lastly, Ida is fun, kind, patient and encouraging! Thank you, Ida, I am really happy I can learn with you :)

Ida is an outstanding teacher. I always go into language lessons slightly nervous due to self-consciousness about my ability - but at the end of every lesson I feel very pleased with the progress made. She provides wonderful structure and encouragement. I highly recommend her.
