InterestsMuziekArtPets & Animals
Hello there! My name is Anniina, and I'm a native speaker of Finnish. I'm a qualified singing and piano teacher. I also love to teach Finnish!
I have been teaching Finnish in iTalki for two years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's great to meet people from all over the world and gain new insights on the Finnish language! I'm learning from my students all the time :)
Before teaching Finnish, I was teaching music for three years. I also have experience from doing opera and various other music projects. As a classically trained singer, I know how to sing in many different languages!
My other interests include nature, painting, yoga, knitting, and a nice cup of coffee.

Ik als leerkracht
I believe that the most important part of language learning is speaking and communicating as much as possible. The more you do it, the more naturally you'll learn to express yourself in any language! Listening to native-level speech is also essential—especially the real, everyday language that people actually use. In Finnish, for instance, spoken language can be quite different from the formal version.
I'm an empathetic and patient teacher, and I can easily adjust my speaking pace and style to suit any level. My lessons are relaxed and supportive, creating a safe space for learning. I'm always happy to tailor the lessons to each student's individual needs.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I offer structured beginner lessons with clear topics (introductions, work, hobbies, etc.), useful vocabulary, and plenty of repetition. I also provide text materials and homework. For more advanced learners, conversation practice is key—once you're ready to express yourself more freely, I recommend booking a Conversation Practice lesson. I can also check and polish your written texts into natural, convincing Finnish. If you need help translating your CV or cover letter, get in touch!
I'm happy to support you not only with the language, but also with integrating into life in Finland! Feel free to ask any questions about life in Finland, Finnish culture, different dialects, etc.

I really recommend Anniina as a teacher on italki! We’ve been talking about chapters from different books, and our discussions are always interesting and helpful. Anniina makes the lessons fun and gives me feedback that’s easy to understand, which helps me get better each time. She’s a great teacher who cares about her students. I highly recommend her to anyone with any level. I have had very productive sessions with her last year even before I passed YKI. Her help was very valuable in making me pass through the test.

I have been learning Finnish with Anniina, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Here’s why:
1. Productive sessions: Every lesson has been incredibly valuable, with her relaxed approach.
2. Clear explanations: Anniina has a remarkable ability to break down complex thoughts or ideas which I want to express and, making them easy to understand and apply in practice.
3. Patience and encouragement: Her constant encouragement and patience keep me motivated, even when the material feels challenging or I have low energy.
4. Focus on improvement: She consistently pushes me, always focusing on my progress and nudges me forward.
5. Enjoyable experience: I’ve spent a good amount of time studying with her, and it’s been not only productive but also fun!

I took a break from studying over the summer because I had to work a lot, and coming back, I felt pretty self-conscious because I've forgotten so much. But Anniina's energy is so contagious! She made me feel so motivated to give it my best. The way she really listens to me and shares little stories from her own life makes the lessons feel so warm and personal, like catching up with a friend. It has really helped me feel more confident and eager to keep going! Thank you once again for the work you do as a teacher, and for being so kind! Seuraavaan oppituntiin asti!

I struggled with conversation practice due to my low skill level, but she was incredibly patient and kind. I truly appreciate it! The lesson was a lot of fun, and I discovered new things :) Kiitos jälleen, Anniina.
