About Me
italki teacher since Jun 27, 2022InterestsArtHistoryTravelMusicFood
Hei! I’m Jenni, a native Finnish teacher specializing in helping adult beginners (A1/A2) build confidence through practical, conversational Finnish.
With 10+ years teaching across Ireland, China, Japan, and beyond, I’ve mastered tailoring lessons for diverse learners. As someone who’s studied 5 languages, I get the struggle and turn it into progress with patience and humour.
My superpower? Making Finnish feel approachable. Students love my "learn-by-doing" style, whether prepping for YKI tests or ordering "kanelipulla" like a local. Let’s turn "Mitä kuuluu?" into effortless chats one fun, functional lesson at a time!Me as a Teacher
I have been a certified teacher since 2014 and am specialized in teaching customized communicative Finnish.
I specialize in teaching A1-A2 level adult students, helping them build a solid foundation in Finnish with clear explanations and practical exercises.
With over 10 years of experience in specialized Finnish language instruction, I understand the challenges beginners face and how to overcome them. My students have found my lessons clear, well-structured, and encouraging; making their learning experience both effective and enjoyable.
If you want to invest in yourself and want a teacher who will support you in learning Finnish with a structured and proven approach, I’d love to help.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are 100% customised to fit the needs of each student. After setting your language goals, together with you, I make a plan on how to achieve them.
I plan the lessons based on individual language needs. Depending on your goals, I customise each lesson individually, e.g. grammar, vocab, YKI prep, or a mixture.
My students give positive feedback on:
- practical topics
- flexibility and patience
- customised exercises and homework
- boost in self-confidence and fluency in speaking
Both private lessons and group lessons include custom lessons, free materials, homework.
New: conversational lessons for higher level students. These lessons include speaking practise.My teaching material

Jenni is an excellent teacher. She is always well prepared, enthusiastic, and patient. Finnish can be very difficult and confusing but she takes things in manageable pieces and builds on it step by step. The homework is easily accessible and is supportive of what we worked on in the lesson.

I’m an American living in the United States and I’ve taken 50 Finnish lessons with Jenni.
Jenni is an engaging, organized, and punctual instructor. She does an incredible job at adapting lesson plans to help me better understand the material. She creates a welcoming learning environment. I don’t feel embarrassed when I make mistakes, struggle with pronunciation, or request a review of previous lessons.
I appreciate how she provides feedback and encourages me at times when I may doubt myself or feel unsure.
I also like how she uses a variety of different resources to teach. These resources include things like articles, word walls, videos, audios, etc. As she teaches she also shares information about Finnish culture.
Jenni is a phenomenal teacher and I highly recommend working with her.

Jenni has been my Finnish teacher for a couple years now. Today we continued working on the plural partitive. She used a PDF she made to help teach the subject and it was very helpful. The plural partitive is complicated, but Jenni is smart and incredibly patient.
