Hello! I'm an analytical person who has made foreign language acqusition a lifestyle, and I endeavour to help the customer to achieve the same. I also like to receive and share knowledge about many other fields, such as history, data science and more practical things.Me as a Teacher
Do you want to practice applying your passive linguistic knowledge? Or are you a beginner looking for guidance? As someone who has tutored pupils from all walks of life, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, I may be of help at any stage.
My manner of proceeding during the lesson is to inquire construct an image about my pupil's situation, and give advise.
Although I'm quite familiar with grammatical and other theory, I try to teach everything through context to make it meaningful. That way learning is engaging and fun, and it's easier to wrap one's head around things that way. I value that pupil enjoys the learning process and gets to freely choose the conversation topics.My lessons & teaching style
Mastering a language means learning to connect sounds to their meanings. That means that we need comprehensible content. That may be made possible with illustrations, translated subtitles, or by other means. This is why I endeavour to provide enjoyable, comprehensible content for my pupils. The second stage of acquisition is application. This is where lessons with a tutor come in handy. With me, you can practice output, i.e. speaking and listening, about pretty much any topic. What's important is that you have consumed some related content, in order to have (passive) vocabulary etc. to practice.
I teach in an engaging way, and provide homework to help you properly hone the foreign aspects.My teaching material

I have been learning Finnish with Jerian for several weeks, and he has been a fantastic teacher. He is always well prepared for lessons, provides clear and thorough explanations, and augments the learning experience with a variety of relevant lesson materials. I am also a beginner, and he is very patient.

Jerian is so consistently helpful and thoughtful about his lessons. He is always prepared, yet is also always ready to follow a conversation topic if needed--if we suddenly stray into the use of a different particle than we had intended to discuss, no problem. His Herculean knowledge base and quick ability to pivot makes the impromptu discussions as valuable and interesting as the planned ones. His homework is always interesting and challenging, but I always feel like we collaborated on it by the end. If you are looking to learn Finnish or Swedish, you've found your teacher.

Today was a great lesson. Jerian is endlessly patient and understanding, and his humor and kindness as well as his incredibly thorough understanding of the inner workings of Finnish make his lessons a pleasure and a challenge that makes me want to keep learning. Finnish is bananas. I'm lucky to be learning with him.

I just finished my 10th lesson with Jerian, and I have to say he is a wonderful Finnish teacher. Jerian is very knowledgeable about the Finnish language, and has interesting teaching materials. He is very patient and empathetic about his students´s needs and wishes. Once I have more time to focus on learning Finnish again, I will continue with him.
