Years of experience in language tutoring Do you want to practice applying your passive linguistic knowledge? Or are you a beginner looking for guidance? As someone who has tutored pupils from all walks of life, from absolute beginners to advanced learners, I can be of help at any stage. I can speak both formal and casual Finnish and Swedish, and I recommend that you specify which one you want to practice. Although I'm quite familiar with grammatical and other theory, I try to teach everything through context to make it meaningful. That way learning is engaging and fun, and it's easier to wrap one's head around things that way. I value that pupil enjoys the learning process and gets to freely choose the conversation topics.

SALE! ALENNUS! Puhu kuin natiivi! Speak like a native! 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!

Maria Hyväri
Qualified native Finnish teacher with years of experience in online teaching I have a master's degree as a French and English teacher, in addition to which I'm a native Finnish speaker. I'm passionate about learning and teaching languages and have lived and taught in Finland, France, Spain, US, and China since I graduated in 2016. I have been teaching Finnish, English and French full time online for over three years now.
Jarkko
As a teacher I am encouraging, and try to activate my students to use as much Finnish as possible. People usually tell me they can be themselves in my company. This no stress state helps them to express themselves better in Finnish as the brain has no reason to activate the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight/freeze response) which would compromise higher brain functions. I have about 2000 hours of teaching experience, mostly online but also face to face.

Satu
Multilingual Qualified Teacher | Special lessons for geeks! | open & patient I am a qualified English and French teacher but I fell in love with teaching Finnish! I have several years of teaching experience in different settings. I've taught Finnish on Italki and in a company teaching Finnish to internationals hoping to move to Finland. Before that, I've also taught French in secondary school and English in vocational school in Finland. When it comes to my teacher persona, I am a kind, patient open-minded person - not at all like your worst fear of a super-reserved, cold Finn. That said, I'm still a Finn!

YKI-testi prep available! I believe that in language learning, the main thing is that you talk and communicate as much as you can. When you keep doing that, you can't help but learn to express yourself better in any language! Listening to native level language is also crucial - especially hearing the actual spoken language that natives speak! Spoken Finnish, for example, is quite different from formal Finnish. I'm an emphatic and patient teacher and I can adjust my speaking pace and style to any level. In my lessons, you will feel relaxed and safe. As a music teacher I know that a supportive atmosphere is vital for learning! I'm also more than happy to adjust the lessons to student's needs.

Ville
Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.

I have two University degrees and I have been teaching finnish and swedish both for beginners and business people. I have also worked as a translator. The most challenging mission was in Monaco, where very talented multilingual people wanted to learn swedish and finnish and learn it fast, because they did business with Scandinavian countries.

Iiris
MA in Finnish language, with 2 years of experience in Finnish language teaching My previous students often commented I am patient and calm. During my career as a Finnish teacher, I have taught many students from different cultures and backgrounds. I understand well that people are different, and we learn a language by different ways and speed. I believe it is my strength that I myself learned Finnish as an adult. I understand well how it is like to learn Finnish from learners' perspectives, and I have a lot of experience to share my journeys if someone is interested in. At the same time, I am professional with a lot of experience in teaching online. I try to offer a class, that students feel a bit more confident or feel closer to Finnish language after each lesson.

I love learning languages myself, and it's inspiring to see others be inspired to learn as well. I want to encourage my students to not be afraid to make mistakes. My lessons will focus on conversational practice instead of formal lessons, but I want to help my students to improve in an efficient way and will correct their mistakes as needed.

I believe in teaching things that you will actually be able to use in your life. I will help you with topics that you want to learn, and teach you both grammar and vocabulary in a balanced way. When it comes to Finnish, I can teach you both spoken and written Finnish, and we can even dabble in some slang that people use in daily conversations in the capital region.

I always support the student and believe that all students can be successful. I implement an individual approach depending on the level of language knowledge, on the wishes and interests of a student. Tuen aina opiskelijaa ja uskon, että kaikki opiskelijat voivat menestyä. Toteutan yksilöllistä lähestymistapaa riippuen kielitaidosta, opiskelijan toiveista ja eduista.

I am an experienced certified teacher with 20 years of teaching experience in 8 countries. In 2010 I switched to online teaching. I use the newest online platforms and online boards for exercises. I help everyone who needs Russian or Finnish as an immigration language, a language in a family, for work and study, or just as a hobby. I speak 6 languages and have a BBA, so I also help in international activities.
