Satu
Multilingual Qualified Teacher | Special lessons for geeks! | open & patient I am a qualified English and French teacher but I fell in love with teaching Finnish! I have several years of teaching experience in different settings. I've taught Finnish on Italki and in a company teaching Finnish to internationals hoping to move to Finland. Before that, I've also taught French in secondary school and English in vocational school in Finland. When it comes to my teacher persona, I am a kind, patient open-minded person - not at all like your worst fear of a super-reserved, cold Finn. That said, I'm still a Finn!

As a teacher, I encourage my students to speak freely and make mistakes. I believe that the fear of making mistakes is what often holds us back from learning, so my main goal is to help you feel confident and relaxed when speaking. I’m engaging, patient, and flexible, and I always try to identify each student’s needs in order to tailor the class to the person.

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.

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!

Karla
Finnish language tutor with a passion for teaching I am currently studying to become a certified class teacher (I can teach all subjects in primary school for children aged 7-12) and Russian language teacher for all ages. However, my study program also focuses heavily on helping students with Finnish as a second language. I have taught children, teens and adults in traineeships as part of my studies. However, most of my teaching experience comes from volunteering regularly in Finnish language groups for immigrants since 2020. I have taught both individual students and groups in person and online, and have been teaching Finnish through English, Russian and Ukrainian. I also have some experience working with younger students.

I have two University degrees and I have been teaching finnish and swedish both for beginners and business people. I have also worked as a translator. The most challenging mission was in Monaco, where very talented multilingual people wanted to learn swedish and finnish and learn it fast, because they did business with Scandinavian countries.

日本に住んでいます!I'm a Finnish native speaker based in Tokyo, Japan. Real life experience based lessons. Opetukseni perustuu omaan kokemukseeni kielen oppimisesta. Olen asunut Japanissa 14 vuotta, mutta muistan vieläkin miten hankalaa oli ilmaista itseään vieraalla kielellä vieraassa maassa. Mokataan (tehdään virheitä), opitaan niistä ja mennään yhdessä eteenpäin. ●Japani (JLPT taso N1). Englanti (TOEIC 985 pistettä). My teaching is based on my own experience of learning a language. I have lived in Japan for 14 years, but I still remember how difficult it was to express myself in a foreign language in a foreign country. Let's make mistakes, learn from them, and move forward together. ●Japanese (level N1 JLPT) English (TOEIC score 985). ●レッスンは丁寧に日本語でフォローさせていただいます。 日本語能力試験一級 TOEICは985点

Premium, Starndard and Walk & Talk lessons! 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.
