I’ve worked with private students, schools, and companies, and I’ve also written language books for Finnish learners. I specialize in helping students not only learn the language but also settle into life in Finland. My lessons focus on practical, everyday communication, including colloquial Finnish. I also introduce students to Finnish culture, customs, and daily life to help them feel more at home. I personalize lessons for each student according to their needs and interests.

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.

Before that, I've also taught French in secondary school and English in vocational school in Finland. When it comes to my teacher persona, I am a kind, patient open-minded person - not at all like your worst fear of a super-reserved, cold Finn. That said, I'm still a Finn!

My lessons will focus on conversational practice instead of formal lessons, but I want to help my students to improve in an efficient way and will correct their mistakes as needed.

As a teacher, I encourage my students to speak freely and make mistakes.

I’m engaging, patient, and flexible, and I always try to identify each student’s needs in order to tailor the class to the person.

MA in Finnish language, with 2,5+ years of experience in Finnish language teaching My previous students often commented I am patient and calm. During my career as a Finnish teacher, I have taught many students from different cultures and backgrounds. I understand well that people are different, and we learn a language by different ways and speed. I believe it is my strength that I myself learned Finnish as an adult. I understand well how it is like to learn Finnish from learners' perspectives, and I have a lot of experience to share my journeys if someone is interested in. At the same time, I am professional with a lot of experience in teaching online. I try to offer a class, that students feel a bit more confident or feel closer to Finnish language after each lesson.

I'm a language mentor. I endeavour to support my pupils' foreign language acquisition. Do you want to practice your passive language skills? Or are you a beginner looking for guidance? As someone who has tutored pupils from all walks of life, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, I may be of help at any stage. My manner of proceeding during the lesson is to construct an image about my pupil's situation and provide advice. Although I'm quite familiar with grammar and other theory, I try to teach everything through context to make it meaningful. In that way learning is engaging and fun, and it's easier to wrap one's head around things. I value that the pupil enjoys the learning process and gets to freely choose the conversation topics.

I'm flexible in planning lessons to suit the student's needs and learning speed. I'm fully aware Finnish language can be challenging, so I believe that learning a smaller amount well serves the student better than rushing through the lessons. Repetition and Patience are great tools for learning Finnish. And perseverance aka SISU! Olen valmis muokkaamaan oppitunnit oppilaalle sopiviksi ja etenemään sen mukaisesti. Olen hyvin tietoinen siitä että suomen kieli ei ole helpoin kieli oppia, joten uskonkin että pienempi määrä hyvin opittua on hyödyllisempää kuin nopeasti paljon. Toistaminen ja pitkäjänteisyys ovat hyviä apureita, ja reipas määrä sisua tietysti!
