Moi!
I’m a native Finnish teacher from Helsinki, Finland.
I live in Japan, and I speak Finnish, Japanese, English and Swedish. I've always had a passion for languages, both teaching and learning!
I majored Japanese language and culture in university, and after graduating I continued my studies in Japan. I have experienced many different learning techniques, and I’m not shy to say that I’m a slow learner. Practice makes perfect!
Teaching Finnish in Japan creates a sense of connection between my life in Japan and my home country, and I want to share Finnish culture with my students. Celebrating the Finnish holidays in Japan is important for me!

Ik als leerkracht
I have teaching experience for Japanese students online and face-to-face, individual students and groups up to 11 persons in private language schools.
I believe that speaking practice should be prioritized as early as possible in learning process. Using new words while speaking is a great way for memorizing them. I know how scary it is to speak in a language that you have just started studying. Don’t worry about making mistakes, we will practice at your space!
I always tailor my lessons according to my students’ needs and interests, either it’s for applying for a school or work, for daily or traveling usage, or other.
Note: I do not have particular experience in teaching children.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My approach to learning is that it should be as fun as possible. I hope you can learn about Finnish culture, customs, history and modern society in my lessons. My lessons’ emphasis is on the practical skills — communicating in Finnish.
I love to teach my students phrases that native Finnish speakers use a lot. We can study spoken language or even Helsinki dialect together!
Let me know in advance if there are any topics you want to talk about, or any phrases or grammar points you'd like me to cover and I will prepare accordingly.
私は日本語を学ぶため様々な勉強方法を経験した事があるが、やはりたくさん話すのが一番になります!
レッスンではより多くのフィンランド語を聞いて話してほしいので、説明は両方フィンランド語と日本語でします。もしレッスンで使いたい書類、勉強したい文法やトピックの希望があれば、レッスンの前に教えてください。

I'm not at all surprised that Maija has such a high student retention ratio (number of lessons to students is 10:1). Maija strikes the perfect balance of being an encouraging conversationalist and correcting key mistakes.

It was perfect. I could learn grammar and how to use the words.
Kiitos neuvosta!!
Maija is a wonderful teacher. We only had one lesson, but she prepared a lot and furthermore she gave me some task beforehand, so the lesson was structured, even though it was the 1st our meeting.
If you are looking for qualified teacher who is passionate about languages, she is the one you are looking for😃
Looking forward for the next lesson!

Today's lesson was fun. I am really enjoying the lessons and homework. I am happy that I am able to understand more Finnish words and the rules of the Finnish language. Looking forward to my next lesson. Thank you :)
