Satu

This was my 15th or 16th lesson and the first one since coming back from a week long trip to Finland — when I first started lessons with Satu I had studied for just over a year but had very little confidence speaking. In just a few months, I've really grown that confidence through lessons with Satu, and I don't think it would have been possible without her help! The lessons are always interesting and varied, from basic conversations to very specific discussions about video game characters and mechanics!

I just can't get tired of conversational classes focused on some specific topics. Satu sends some tips and materials in advance, but you get so much practical every-day vocabulary after each lesson in addition to that! It's a very effective way to discover which words and expressions you lack in real communication.

Tämä oli ilmeisesti minun 40. oppituntini Satun kanssa (iTalkin mukaan)! Olen opiskellut suomea nyt noin vähän alle 2 vuotta, ja olen kehittynyt paljon Satun avulla. Hän on tosi kärsivällinen ja tietäväinen opettaja, ja oppitunnit hänen kanssaan ovat aina mielenkiintoisia ja luovia. Suosittelen lämpimästi Satun tunteja! Kiitos, Satu!

I cannot recommend the nörteille lessons enough! Satu is a great teacher, who always checks in with her students current needs and modifies her lessons accordingly. She takes notes and shares lots of helpful resources. Right now, we are in the middle of a D&D campaign and although I didn't have any previous experience in playing, she is making it work. Satu is very creative, well prepared and puts a lot of love into her work. She makes studying a lot of fun and I always look forward to our next lesson!

I had so much fun during this morning's lesson. I felt like I was actually able to have a conversation, in Finnish, and this was all down to Satu's patient and effective teaching!

I think I am making good progress thanks to Satu's entertaining and diligent methods. I feel pushed, but in a strongly positive way. They are a great teacher!
