Moi, mitä kuuluu?
I'm Jenni, a professional Finnish teacher who will help you reach your language goals.
Born and raised in Southern Finland near Tampere. University studies and work brought me to Helsinki for 10 years. Later I decided to work around the world and lived all over Asia and Oceania.
Having studied 5 foreign languages myself, I know the challenges of bringing language skills to everyday situations. I hope to motivate and challenge all my students to improve to their best abilities!
Learning happens one step at a time. I work hard to deliver both functional and fun lessons to each student.
Teaching a great lesson is my continuous passion project.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching since 2014 when I received my teaching certificate.
I have worked in language centers around the world, eg. Ireland, China, Japan, New Zealand.
I am specialized in teaching customized communicative Finnish: from total beginners to intermediate students, levels A0 - B2.
I have plenty of experience teaching all levels, all ages, students of different backgrounds and various language goals. My students have been a mixture of entire kindergarten groups, pensioners, business professionals, language enthusiasts, exchange students and test preppers, etc.
As someone who enjoys learning new, I love helping students in their own language journeys.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are 100% customised to fit the needs of my students. First we discover your language goals, challenges and needs: then make a plan on how we can achieve those goals.
I plan the lessons based on your goals, needs and wants. Depending on your interests, I customise the best possible lessons individually for you - whether it is grammar, conversation, learning vocab or preparing for a language exam, or a mixture of all of these.
My students have given positive feedback on:
- relevant, useful lessons
- topics are interesting and helpful
- flexibility and patience
- teacher listens to student's needs and plans lessons accordingly
- boost in self-confidence and fluency in speaking

Jenni is an excellent teacher. She is always well prepared, enthusiastic, and patient. Finnish can be very difficult and confusing but she takes things in manageable pieces and builds on it step by step. The homework is easily accessible and is supportive of what we worked on in the lesson.

Tailored the lesson to fit up and coming trip. We practiced questions and every day interactions. Excellent session.

The sessions are tailored to your progression and what is most beneficial to learning. For example, we practice local cases and verbs that would be useful for traveling. This allows for a very practical approach to learning. Jenni also provides encouragement and helpful feedback on pronunciations.

This right mix of casual conversation and continued learning. The supportive feedback encourages me to try even when my inhibitions would keep me silent.
