Hei vaan! My name is Maureen. I grew up and went to school in Tampere Finland but currently live in the US. I'm a native Finnish and English speaker but I also speak fluent Spanish. I've also studied German, Swahili, Swedish, Latin, Italian and Portuguese. I have also lived in three continents (a bunch of those years in Mexico). As you can see, I love learning about cultures and languages but other interests I have are watching and reviewing movies, reading books, fitness, playing the piano and singing.
Me as a Teacher
In my classes we will focus on talking in Finnish in order to increase your confidence as a Finnish speaker. I'm a firm believer of speaking soon because it benefits the language learning process. I am here to help and not to judge - this class is going to be a safe space to practice and make mistakes. The topics of my lessons vary according to the interest of the student. Don't worry if you don't have any topics you would like to discuss - I have plenty to choose from!
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.

Teacher’s pick
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.

Minulla on aina hauskaa Maureenin kanssa. Kahden kuukauden jälkeen voin puhua koko tunnin suomea. Kiitos Maureen! Nähdään huomenna
