Jerian

I have been learning Finnish with Jerian for several weeks, and he has been a fantastic teacher. He is always well prepared for lessons, provides clear and thorough explanations, and augments the learning experience with a variety of relevant lesson materials. I am also a beginner, and he is very patient.

Patient, direct but approachable. Very approachable person

Jerian is a very nice teacher. At this point i didnt know any finnish but he encouraged me to start learing them. Best teacher

I just finished my 10th lesson with Jerian, and I have to say he is a wonderful Finnish teacher. Jerian is very knowledgeable about the Finnish language, and has interesting teaching materials. He is very patient and empathetic about his students´s needs and wishes. Once I have more time to focus on learning Finnish again, I will continue with him.

Jerian is so consistently helpful and thoughtful about his lessons. He is always prepared, yet is also always ready to follow a conversation topic if needed--if we suddenly stray into the use of a different particle than we had intended to discuss, no problem. His Herculean knowledge base and quick ability to pivot makes the impromptu discussions as valuable and interesting as the planned ones. His homework is always interesting and challenging, but I always feel like we collaborated on it by the end. If you are looking to learn Finnish or Swedish, you've found your teacher.

Today was a great lesson. Jerian is endlessly patient and understanding, and his humor and kindness as well as his incredibly thorough understanding of the inner workings of Finnish make his lessons a pleasure and a challenge that makes me want to keep learning. Finnish is bananas. I'm lucky to be learning with him.
