Hei vaan!
My name is Maureen, and I’m excited to help you learn Finnish. I grew up in Tampere, Finland, but now live in the U.S. I’m a native Finnish and English speaker and also fluent in Spanish. I’ve studied German, Swahili, Swedish, Latin, Italian, Portuguese, and ASL.
I’ve lived on three continents, including many years in Mexico, which has deepened my passion for cultures and languages. As a child of immigrants and after moving to two new countries, I understand the challenges of settling in a new place. My experiences give me empathy for those navigating new languages and cultures.
Let’s make learning Finnish fun and rewarding together!Me as a Teacher
In my classes, we’ll focus on speaking Finnish to help you build confidence quickly. I believe starting to speak early is key to speeding up the learning process. My lessons provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can practice and make mistakes without fear.My lessons & teaching style
One on one classes are a excellent and safe space to practice pronunciation and grammar without the fear of sounding silly or failing.My teaching material

Suosittelen Maureenia ihmisille, jotka haluavat harjoitella suomen kieltä työsyistä, mutta myös kausaalista keskustelua varten. Perheeni ja työtoverini ovat havainneet suuria parannuksia suomen kielen ja sanavaraston suhteen. Olen jatkanut tutorointiani Maureenin kanssa lähes vuoden, koska hän on ollut erinomainen opettaja! Kiitos Maureen!
I highly recommend Maureen to people looking to practice their Finnish for work reasons but also for casual conversations. My family and co-workers have noticed great improvements in my Finnish speaking and vocabulary. I have been continuing my tutoring with Maureen for almost a year because she has been excellent teacher! Thank you Maureen!

I am thrilled to write a review for my Finnish language teacher. Every class with her is incredibly effective and efficient. I always leave with a sense of accomplishment, feeling that I've truly learned and pushed myself further.
We constantly speak and discuss new questions and topics. She always shares valuable tricks and ideas that are practical and tailored to different situations we discuss. This makes our learning not only comprehensive but also applicable in real-life contexts.
Moreover, her attentiveness is remarkable. Whenever I get sidetracked, she gently guides me back on track, ensuring that my learning stays focused and productive. Her dedication and teaching style make every lesson engaging and enjoyable.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Finnish effectively.

Minusta Maureen on erittäin hyvä opettaja, koska hän on aina kärsivällinen ja positiivinen. Vaikka sinulla on vaikeuksia, hän ei koskaan menetä kärsivällisyys. Keskustelut hänen kanssaan tuntuvat aina juttelemiselta vanhan ystävän kanssa. Kiitos Maureen!
