About Me
italki teacher since Sep 7, 2018InterestsFilms & TV SeriesTravelArt
I can discuss several topics, according to my students' wishes and expectations. I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and linguistics and find language teaching and learning fascinating. I love traveling and I have lived in Spain since 2016 where I have taught English and Finnish. I have practical experience in the kind of vocabulary and skills you need when traveling and living abroad and I can also teach at a beginner level in Spanish.Me as a Teacher
I love teaching and helping people. I consider that languages enable cultural interaction and broaden one's horizons. I have experience in teaching English both to children and adults in Spain. Finnish I've taught online since 2018. I personalize my lessons according to my students and use teaching strategies that suit them best.My lessons & teaching style
I have no prerequisites for my lessons; I welcome both beginners and more advanced learners who are eager to learn Finnish. My lessons are based on conversation (that may be based on a specific theme agreed on beforehand), reading and translating a target language text together or analyzing it, and answering my student's questions. I am also open to suggestions my students may have regarding language learning.
The book series I have used the most is Suomen mestari (1, 2, 3 and 4) but I have also used Oma Suomi 1, Harjoitus tekee mestarin (4 different books), Suomen kielen tikapuut, Ykäänkö vai ykiinkö, Kielo, etc. Especially with beginners, I usually prefer to use a book.My teaching material

Tunti oli erittäin mielenkiintoinen ja haastava. Opin paljon uusia sanoja ja keskustelimme erilaisista asioista. Kiitos Heidi taas! :)

Fun! We went over a bunch of my pronunciation/rhythm questions and then practiced reading aloud.

I've had many different Finnish teachers over the years, and Heidi is definitely the best. She's very good at explaining things so that even complicated Finnish grammar sounds simple

Heidi is an awesome teacher, very knowledgeable, encouraging, and flexible. She caters the lesson plans to what I need and comes prepared. I leave each lesson feeling like I've learned a lot.

Heidi on erikoinen opettaja! Olihan virkistävä jutella hänen kansaan. Hän on aika kärsivällinen.
