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.

⛸️ Hyvää laskiaista! よいラッスィアイネンを!Happy Laskiainen! I have teaching experience for Japanese students online and face-to-face, individual students and groups up to 11 persons in private language schools. I believe that speaking practice should be prioritized as early as possible in learning process. Using new words while speaking is a great way for memorizing them. I know how scary it is to speak in a language that you have just started studying. Don’t worry about making mistakes, we will practice at your space! I always tailor my lessons according to my students’ needs and interests, either it’s for applying for a school or work, for daily or traveling usage, or other. Note: I do not have particular experience in teaching children.

Sylvia
Let's talk, and read honest stuff about life - with a native Finnish teacher After years of studying all these different languages, I understand the pain of learning new grammar, and the frustration when trying to express yourself without having the right words. Instead of drowning students in new rules of the language or gluing their noses into to the books.. My main goal is to keep the lesson topics always interesting, touching topics that are useful on a daily basis, with emphasis on vocal communication skills! With me you get to talk, sign, read poems and articles, write whatever challenges you. Finnish language is quite a special one, and it would be an honour to support your journey to become fluent in Finnish, while learning more about the country!

Jerian
I'm a language mentor. I endeavour to support my pupils' foreign language acquisition. Do you want to practice your passive language skills? 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 construct an image about my pupil's situation and provide advice. Although I'm quite familiar with grammar and other theory, I try to teach everything through context to make it meaningful. In that way learning is engaging and fun, and it's easier to wrap one's head around things. I value that the pupil enjoys the learning process and gets to freely choose the conversation topics.

Pilvi
Internationally raised MBA student with a background in early childhood education Most important to me as a teacher is that you try and feel empowered through the learning process. Mistakes are part of the learning journey. I love to challenge my students to take steps beyond what they believe they are capable of. However I don't push you beyond your limits, but I will always help you when I see you are stuck. I also acknowledge our different personalities and will learn the approach you prefer me to have in supporting you, whether it's to give more space or to be more intently present.

Finnish for adult learners | Clear grammar and practical Finnish Students usually describe me as calm and easy to talk to. I’ve taught students from many different cultures and backgrounds, so I understand that everyone learns differently. I adjust lessons depending on what you need and what works best for you. Since I learned Finnish as an adult, I understand the difficult parts of learning too. I try to explain things simply and create a relaxed atmosphere where you can focus on learning without worrying about mistakes. What matters most to me is that after each lesson, you feel it was meaningful and useful for you. I really enjoy teaching, and I take each lesson seriously.

Anniina
YKI-testi prep available! I believe that the most important part of language learning is speaking and communicating as much as possible. The more you do it, the more naturally you'll learn to express yourself in any language! Listening to native-level speech is also essential—especially the real, everyday language that people actually use. In Finnish, for instance, spoken language can be quite different from the formal version. I'm an empathetic and patient teacher, and I can easily adjust my speaking pace and style to suit any level. My lessons are relaxed and supportive, creating a safe space for learning. I'm always happy to tailor the lessons to each student's individual needs.
