About Me
italki teacher since Jun 15, 2023
InterestsReadingTravelArtHistoryMusic
I'm an anthropology student from Finland, living in the United States. I'm a passionate language learner myself, and I want to give my best to people who are interested in learning my native language. As a teacher, I want to encourage my students to not be afraid to make mistakes. I've planned most of my teaching to consist of conversational practice, encouraging the student to speak Finnish more, but with beginners I tend to provide structure to the lessons with materials from the Suomen Mestari 1 textbook. After initially assessing the students skill level, I will prepare materials and exercises to teach what the student lacks in terms of grammar. This is a placeholder text, because iTalki will combine the "Me as a teacher" and "My lessons & teaching style" sections with the "About me" section on April 29th 2026.

It’s in a good way challenging being lured a small step out of your comfortzone and to talk about topics, you didn’t expect or prepare for. Thanks to Anttis patience I never felt stressed or uncomfortable in that process, even when I needed time fishing for the correct word or formulation.

I enjoyed my session speaking with Antti. He was very engaging and encouraging, and he gave me a useful study suggestion. I will be scheduling more sessions.

Antti is a good listener and understands me well. His materials have been very effective and we are even using song and video materials as learning tools. I can begin spoken sentence structure now and my confidense is rising. Classes with Antti are paying off! Ai niin! 😁

After focusing a bit more on grammar and new vocabulary, todays lesson we again spent almost completely with speaking Finnish and it was again a great experience - Antti made me feel supercomfortable, formed sentences and questions even I as a total beginner could understand and helped me along without hurrying or interrupting my thinking. And I did not only learn and practise a lot today, but actually had fun :) Thank you, Antti, for your calm positive patience and your ability to find a language level even I can try to talk on!

Antti was patient. We had a nice amount of conversation and talking about the grammar.
