Me as a Teacher
I love learning languages myself, and it's inspiring to see others be inspired to learn as well. I want to encourage my students to not be afraid to make mistakes. My lessons will focus on conversational practice instead of formal lessons, but I want to help my students to improve in an efficient way and will correct their mistakes as needed.
My lessons & teaching style
I've planned most of my teaching to consist of conversational practice, encouraging the student to speak Finnish more. After initially assessing the students skill level, I will prepare material and exercises to teach what the student lacks in terms of grammar. I will incorporate writing in homework assignment.

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.

It was a great lesson! The atmosphere was calm and the conversation was very interesting. The teacher helped me with the pronunciation of difficult words, wrote them down and repeated patiently.

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!
