In addition to teaching and learning languages, I love music - I sing and play the violin.

I use textbooks in digital format but also videos, songs and all kinds of online material, my goal being to make learning fun and interesting for you. I aim to work on speaking, listening, reading, and writing equally unless you need to improve one area in particular. I can also help you prepare for YKI test or other language exams.

Finnish language tutor with a passion for teaching Hello! My name is Karla, and I have been helping Finnish learners since 2020. I have a lot of volunteering experience in different organizations and language groups, in person as well as online. I have also taught myself several languages, so I am able to understand the struggles you may have but also find ways to make learning more fun. One of my biggest motivations to learn languages is to be able to help Finnish learners with all kinds of language backgrounds. Aside from learning languages I love playing music, singing, dancing, doing crafts, playing games and spending time in nature. Most of my teaching experience comes from volunteering in different organizations, but I have been giving private/group lessons online since April 2025. I have taught both individual students and groups in person and online, and have been teaching Finnish mostly through English, Russian and Ukrainian. But I can help you in any language I know. Currently I am only teaching adult learners. My teaching methodology is based on focusing the lessons around the learner's personal interests and motivation. I can help you build up your vocabulary and figure out grammar topics when they come up naturally as well as practice conversations on your level. If you want to use a textbook for more structured approach, that is also possible.

New students welcome! 🌸 Tervetuloa opiskelemaan yhdessä! Moi! I’m a native Finnish teacher from Helsinki, currently living in Japan. I speak Finnish, Japanese, English, and Swedish. I've always had a passion for languages, both teaching and learning! I majored Japanese language and culture in university, and after graduating I continued my studies in Japan. I have experienced many different learning techniques, and I’m not shy to say that I’m a slow learner. Practice makes perfect! Teaching Finnish in Japan creates a sense of connection between my life in Japan and my home country, and I want to share Finnish culture with my students. Celebrating the Finnish holidays in Japan is important for me! I have experience teaching Japanese students both online and face-to-face, working with individuals as well as groups of up to 11 students in private language schools. I always tailor my lessons according to my students’ needs and interests, whether you are preparing for school, work or an exam, learning for travel, or simply studying for everyday communication. Note: I do not have particular experience in teaching children. Let me know in advance if there are any topics you want to talk about, or any phrases or grammar points you'd like me to cover and I’ll prepare accordingly. 私は日本語を学ぶため様々な勉強方法を経験した事があるが、やはりたくさん話すのが一番になります! レッスンではより多くのフィンランド語を聞いて話してほしいので、説明は両方フィンランド語と日本語でします。もしレッスンで使いたい書類、勉強したい文法やトピックの希望があれば、レッスンの前に教えてください。

Natural language without so much of Grammar My name is Savva, I'm living in Finland. I'm born in Sweden, but my ethnicity is Finnish, my mother tongue is Finnish, but I speak Swedish natively. We Finns were a long time the biggest group of foreigners in Sweden. I learned English at school, later in my life, in Iceland, I started to speak very much English daily with a man from the USA. I also started to speak Icelandic. I like to listen to music, Antonio Vivaldi and The Beatles, to mention some. Like younger, I ran Marathons. I teach Finnish and Swedish naturally. Grammar can be very boring, so I keep it to a minimum. I let you read aloud and if you already speak a little, you tell me what’s visible in a picture and we discuss that. I have materials also for complete beginners.

No pain AND gain! Learn grammar naturally through conversation practice with an experienced teacher! I never learned a language in school, I learned on my feet. As a teacher I emphasise practicality and straightforwardness. As soon as you know three words, I’ll ask you to put them into a sentence. With me you won’t be ‘taught’ per se, you will be invited to learn by doing, to try things out, and to accumulate competence upon what you already know. My students quickly learn to ask me ‘can I say…? (voinks mä sanoa…?)’ followed by something they have just formulated. Before long, they start to create perfectly applicable and natural sounding Finnish sentences (which can often be short and make absolutely no sense when translated to English) by applying Finnish the same way Finns do.

    Learning Finnish

    I just finished my third conversation lesson with Antti, and I can say he is a great conversationalist. He is always ready with a topic, or when I bring up a topic, he is ready with many follow up questions that really test the boundaries of my Finnish novel. When I am unfamiliar with a word or structure, he puts in the chat, so I can go back later and review it. We've had very wide ranging discussions touching on such diverse topics as natural disasters, sports, his university studies, my job, movies and tv series. I feel like I am improving my skills and more importantly my confidence with each session.

    I have been studying Finnish with Jenni for the past FIVE years. Before my first lesson, I couldn't even put together a simple sentence. After nearly 200 lessons with Jenni, I am able to speak about all kinds of topics, speak with my husband's family, and manage through nearly any situation in Finland with a little bit of patience and understanding. I never dreamed of getting this far in my Finnish language journey when I first started out. Jenni has made this possible because of her ability to encourage when you feel stuck, and being patient when she knows you almost remember the right word and mayyybe how to conjugate it. When you choose to learn with Jenni, she is guaranteed to provide you a judgement-free zone where you can make mistakes.. and often laugh about them. If you are worried about taking the leap into language learning, Jenni is the perfect coach, teacher, and supporter, and she can help you crush your goals!

    Iiris is the best teacher I have had in my life. She guides very gently and explains things in a clear, structured way. She gives exactly as much information as you need — no more and no less — without unnecessary theory or “water.” She always helps you move forward efficiently, without overloading you, and creates a calm, supportive learning atmosphere.

    This was my 15th or 16th lesson and the first one since coming back from a week long trip to Finland — when I first started lessons with Satu I had studied for just over a year but had very little confidence speaking. In just a few months, I've really grown that confidence through lessons with Satu, and I don't think it would have been possible without her help! The lessons are always interesting and varied, from basic conversations to very specific discussions about video game characters and mechanics!

    Maureenin tunneilla olen saanut juuri sitä tukea ja varmuutta, jota tarvitsin valmistautuakseni YKI-kokeeseen. Hänen opetustyylinsä on selkeä, kannustava ja tehokas. Maureen osaa mukauttaa tunnit tarpeisiini – olipa kyse kieliopista, sanastosta tai käytännön keskusteluista. Hän korjaa virheitä lempeästi ja antaa konkreettisia neuvoja, miten ilmaista itseään paremmin suomeksi. Lisäksi hän rohkaisee jatkuvasti puhumaan, mikä on ollut minulle todella tärkeää. Suosittelen lämpimästi Maureenia kaikille, jotka haluavat kehittää suomen kieltään itsevarmasti ja rauhallisessa ilmapiirissä.

She always comes prepared to lessons and is flexible to adjust to what I need help with. She provides helpful materials and takes notes during our lessons that she shares with me afterward. What makes Salla special is how friendly and calm she is — our lessons have a wonderful, positive feeling that makes learning Finnish enjoyable. I'm so glad I found such a great teacher! 📚 😊

    I was preparing for the highest level of the YKI test (C1) and Pinja guided me through this process beautifully. She is very friendly and encouraging and tries to boost your confidence at all times (sometimes I suspected she might be praising my performance a little too much but that might also by my imposter syndrome speaking :-D). She is very flexible and if you know what you want and where you want to go with your language learning journey, she will do her best to get you there with different exercises. We discussed all kinds of serious issues of our times such as politics and climate change (all in the target language Finnish, of course!) but we also laughed a lot, and I truly had an amazing time. Thank you, Pinja! Kiitoksia paljon!

  • Raja

    Learning Finnish

    I have had four different teachers on and off before, but Ida is by far the best. In my opinion, she is truly exceptional. I’ve been studying with her for around three months now, and I’ve found her to be an expert in teaching Finnish, especially in combining grammar with speaking in a very simple and effective way. I see myself more confident in speaking and using grammer. Best thing about her is that her energy level is always the same, which motivates me a lot. Her lessons are simple yet incredibly useful for improving my spoken Finnish. I also get plenty of opportunities to practice writing. Overall, learning the language with Ida is fun, progress is quick, and easy. She is patient and continues to correct my mistakes until I get them right. I feel comfortable making errors in pronunciation or grammar as she corrects them in very simple ways. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher!
