Moi,
Mitä kuuluu? How are you?
My name is Jenni and I am a highly experienced Finnish teacher.
I was born and raised in Southern Finland close to the city of Tampere. Later I moved to study in Helsinki and lived there for 10 years.
I grew up surrounded by different languages and to this day languages are my passion!
As a social person I enjoy helping others by teaching how to master Finnish, one step at a time. I work hard to deliver functional and fun lessons to each student. Happy students = happy teacher!
Teaching a great lesson is my continuous passion project.Me as a Teacher
In 2014 I got my teaching certificate and have been teaching full-time ever since.
I have worked in language centers around the world, eg. Ireland, China, Japan, New Zealand.
I am specialized in teaching customized communicative Finnish: from total beginners to intermediate students, levels A0 - B2.
I have plenty of experience teaching all levels, all ages, students of different backgrounds and various language goals. My students have been a mixture of entire kindergarten groups, pensioners, business professionals, language enthusiasts, exchange students and test preppers, etc.
As someone who enjoys learning new, I love helping students on their own language journeys.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are 100% customised to fit the needs of my students. First we discover your language goals, challenges and needs: then make a plan on how we can achieve those goals.
I plan the lessons based on your goals, needs and wants. Depending on your interests, I customise the best possible lessons individually for you - whether it is grammar, conversation, learning vocab or preparing for a language exam, or a mixture of all of these.
My students have given positive feedback on:
- relevant, useful lessons
- topics are interesting and helpful
- flexibility and patience
- teacher listens to student's needs and plans lessons accordingly
- boost in self-confidence and fluency in speakingMy teaching material

Tailored the lesson to fit up and coming trip. We practiced questions and every day interactions. Excellent session.

The sessions are tailored to your progression and what is most beneficial to learning. For example, we practice local cases and verbs that would be useful for traveling. This allows for a very practical approach to learning. Jenni also provides encouragement and helpful feedback on pronunciations.

This right mix of casual conversation and continued learning. The supportive feedback encourages me to try even when my inhibitions would keep me silent.

Jenni is an encouraging and patient teacher. She provides clear explanations for context without over burdening a beginner with too much grammatical information. I found her gentle rehearsing of spoken language to be reassuring.
