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 a few 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.) with my own slides, or if you prefer to learn with Suomen mestari, I'm happy go through the books 1 and 2 with you. 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. Or I can help you prepare for "Keskitason YKI-testi"!
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.

My main difficulty is comprehension of spoken Finnish. Anniina speaks clearly and is patient with me, repeating when needed. She is encouraging and gives useful pointers and recommendations for study.

I booked a YKI-test preparation with Anniina. She is a very good teacher, she takes the time to explain how the test works, and she makes sure that I understood well the statements. Kiitos paljon Anniina

After hitting a wall with my self directed learning, my trial/intro with Anniina has reignited the fire! I feel motivated to continue. Now, with Anniina, i have a learning plan & feedback. These were missing while i attempted to learn by myself. Thank you Anniina 🙏

I had my 4th lesson for the preparation of the YKI test. I can feel that I made some progress so far. I feel more confident, even though the test is not easy. Kiitos paljon Anniina!
