Ida

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!

I've been having weekly lessons with Ida for almost 3 months now, and I am incredibly happy to learn with her! She makes me feel at ease despite my very limited knowledge of Finnish, and I actually often find our conversations quite fun. She also has a talent for speaking so clearly and slowly (and probably choosing simple vocabulary) that I actually understand her very well. She keeps a helpful "logbook" of concepts and vocabulary, and gives me suitable grammar topics and resources to study (and then actually practices them with me in the next lesson :D), or even comes up with exercises herself if I struggle with something. She also has good resources for starting conversations suitable to my level, and with keeping me talking - I found it frustrating in the past when teachers started topics which were completely out of my reach. This does not happen with Ida :) And lastly, Ida is fun, kind, patient and encouraging! Thank you, Ida, I am really happy I can learn with you :)

I love Ida's energy during the classes and we alway discuss very Useful topics and use everyday vocab!

I’ve been taking conversation lessons with Ida, and it’s been a fantastic experience. She is incredibly patient, and our lessons are focused on speaking, which has helped improve my confidence in using Finnish. She always takes the time to explain phrases clearly and guides me on how to say things more naturally and correctly. Her feedback is constructive, and I’ve made great progress in speaking and understanding Finnish since starting lessons with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their conversational skills!

I’m so thankful for Ida, she is absolutely amazing ! 💛 She has helped me so much to improve my Finnish and made learning feel fun and motivating. She’s always patient, kind, and really understands how to explain things in a simple way. Every lesson gives me more confidence to speak and use Finnish in real life. I truly appreciate her support and positive energy — she’s the best teacher I could ask for! 🌸

I really enjoyed my class with Ida! She is fun to learn with and I will book more classes with her!
