Qualified native Finnish teacher with years of experience in online teaching Hi! I'm Maria, a Finnish, English and French teacher from Finland. In addition to teaching and learning languages, I love music - I sing and play the violin. When I'm not working on the computer, I spend time with my little daughter and help my husband tend our small farm. My other interests include dance, reading, hiking and other outdoors activities. I have a master's degree as a French and English teacher, in addition to which I'm a native Finnish speaker. I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages and have lived and taught in Finland, France, Spain, US, and China since I graduated in 2016. I have been teaching Finnish, English and French full time online for over four years now. I'm known for my patient, thorough and good-humored teaching style. 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.

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.
