Hi there! I’m Katri, a Finnish language tutor. I’ve been teaching learners from all over the world on italki since 2020. I focus on helping adult learners at beginner and conversational levels build confidence and fluency in spoken Finnish. My goal is to make Finnish more accessible, relaxed, and fun for everyone!
Moikka! Olen Katri, suomen kielen tuutori. Olen opettanut italkissa vuodesta 2020 ja autan erityisesti aikuisia alkeis- ja keskustelutasolla kehittämään itsevarmuutta ja sujuvuutta suomen puhumisessa ja ymmärtämisessä. Tavoitteenani on tehdä suomen oppimisesta helpompaa ja hauskempaa kaikille!
Me as a Teacher
My lessons are relaxed, practical, and tailored to YOUR goals, whether you're preparing for everyday situations or YKI test. Let's work together to make Finnish amazing!
Tuntini ovat käytännöllisiä ja aina SINUN tavoitteidesi mukaan suunniteltuja, olitpa sitten valmistautumassa arjen tilanteisiin tai YKI-kokeeseen. Tehdään suomen oppimisesta yhdessä hauskaa!
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and goal-oriented. I focus on practical language use, especially speaking and listening skills, to help you feel more confident in real-life situations. Whether you're a beginner or already conversational, I adapt the content to your needs and learning style. I use everyday vocabulary, simple explanations, and a lot of repetition to make learning easier and more natural.
Minun oppitunnit ovat rennot, kannustavat ja tukevat sinun tavoitteitasi. Keskityn erityisesti käytännön kieleen sekä puhe- ja kuuntelutaitojen kehittämiseen, jotta tunnet olosi varmemmaksi elämän tilanteissa.

We just got our last lesson together before the YKI test and I am very pleased with our lessons. Katri gives very good and honest feedbacks, is not afraid to tell you when you make a mistake but also encourage you to do better next time. I really appreciated that she gave me homeworks, shared different resources or exercises for me to do at home. I now feel more confident about taking the YKI test. Thank you!

I just completed 6 lessons with Katri to prepare for the YKI test and I have to say that she is an amazing teacher, she explains clearly and simply grammar mistakes. I really appreciate that she is always correcting my mistakes afterwards and I get at the end of each session tons of materials + written script with the important points we went through during the lesson. I strongly recommend her! :)

Another great lesson with Katri! Being at intermediate level, I really enjoy our lessons because I feel like I'm getting finally a grasp on the grammar and how it works. Also, thank you for taking the extra time today, I appreciated it!
