Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 23 Feb 2021InterestsEnvironment & NatureSportHistoryScienceIT
I am a qualified Finnish language teacher living in Estonia. I hold a Master’s degree in Finnish language and have also studied pedagogy. I have over 5 years of experience teaching in various schools, and including online teaching, I have more than 8 years of total teaching experience.
Ik als leerkracht
In my work I strive to respect the values of self-authority and open communication. I am a strong proponent of positive reinforcement. Learning something new always involves a degree of vulnerability, and I believe that vulnerability should be met with respect, patience, and encouragement.
I enjoy having interactive lessons where we exchange ideas and thoughts, especially about languages. I believe in being open about my own shortcomings — every language has vast and unfamiliar areas, even for professionals.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
In my view, the key to learning a language is using it actively and consistently. Grammar should be seen as a tool for understanding the logic and structure of a language, rather than as a set of rigid rules. I like to emphasize the patterns and thinking behind grammar, helping learners see it as a support for communication, not a barrier.
While some methods claim to guarantee results within a fixed timeframe, I believe language learning is a deeply individual process. Research in pedagogy shows that people have different needs, motivations, and learning styles. No single method works for everyone. True progress comes through practice, personal engagement, and an adaptable approach.Mijn lesmateriaal

Keuze van de leerkracht
Лаури замечательный преподаватель. Чуткий и очень тактичный. Мой английский не на самом высоком уровне и мне очень тяжело даются уроки, но Лаури самый терпеливый учитель, которой мне попадался за весь мой опыт как студента. За всё время обучения не возникло ни одного неприятного момента. Kiitos paljon!

Good and motivating start to get back into grammar – something I've been neglecting lately. Now I'm looking forward to continuing! Kiitos, Lauri!

Lauri is a great teacher, very professional. He personalised the class according to my interest in the Finnish language, created material for every one of our sessions and provided me with valuable resources for self-study. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking for a Finnish teacher!

Lauri did a great job today explaining participles. Although it still takes me a lot of effort to understand these structures, which are not all in my native German, and there are so many aspects to pay attention to, I see things much more clearly now. So a big thank you!

Nice to be back learning with Lauri. The lesson was a good mix of listening, speaking and explaining. He responds to my wishes, has tips how to speak more naturally and gives helpful feedback. So: kiitos paljon.
