About Me
italki teacher since Oct 15, 2024Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesArtPets & AnimalsEnvironment & NatureTravel
Hello! I'm a native Finnish speaker currently located in Finland. I have previously lived in the UK for a few years as I obtained my undergraduate degree there. I love adventures, whether it's in the form of traveling, hiking or exploring the nature. I also love learning about different cultures and languages and like to dedicate my past time to foreign language learning. My main focus has been on Korean for a few years now, but I have recently started to learn Chinese too. My other hobbies include rollerskating, sometimes a bit of drawing and I enjoy cooking as well. When I'm not too busy, I also enjoy a cup of hot chocolate with a good movie or a TV show.Me as a Teacher
I have a teaching degree in English Language and Teaching from the University of Greenwich, England, as well as a masters degree in Multilingual Communication and Translation from Tampere University, Finland, giving me a strong knowledge base in language acquisition and efficient ways to teach a language. As a teacher, I like to create a friendly and relaxed learning environment, where my students do not have to be afraid of making mistakes. I would also encourage my students to experiment with different learning styles to find which methods motivate them the most to keep going, not forgetting to have a little fun during the process!My lessons & teaching style
I like listening to my students and what they expect or want from the lessons, so my lessons will look a little different depending on the students' personal learning goals. But in general, we can have casual conversations, we can go over grammar points you find difficult and I can introduce you to small exercises that you can do on your own time if you want to exercise those language muscles outside of our classes. And, if you are someone who is not so sure on how to progress or what to focus on, I'd be happy to guide you to a path that will lead to improved skills.My teaching material

Miriam is a good teacher. She prepares a handful of exercises for me to practice during our session. She also encourages me to speak a lot more. She corrects my pronunciation after I finish the sentence. I have booked two sessions with her already and will continue to do so!
