Pinja

Pinja has been my teacher for one year now, and in a week I am moving to Finland. She is an incredible teacher, always takes time to explain everything and is really nice if I don't understand it and need to go over it again. Besides being patient and kind, the classes are usually really fun, especially the conversation ones, in which we usually laugh a lot and I learn by actually speaking the language. Overall, she is a really awesome person and teacher, could not recommend her more!!

Pinja is a very likeable person and an attentive teacher. She takes your needs seriously and is ready to help you out with whatever language problems you have. She makes you speak even if you think you can't. She corrects you gently but efficiently. I am very happy with my first lesson and am looking forward to next ones. Kiitos paljon!

I was preparing for the highest level of the YKI test (C1) and Pinja guided me through this process beautifully. She is very friendly and encouraging and tries to boost your confidence at all times (sometimes I suspected she might be praising my performance a little too much but that might also by my imposter syndrome speaking :-D). She is very flexible and if you know what you want and where you want to go with your language learning journey, she will do her best to get you there with different exercises. We discussed all kinds of serious issues of our times such as politics and climate change (all in the target language Finnish, of course!) but we also laughed a lot, and I truly had an amazing time. Thank you, Pinja! Kiitoksia paljon!

Pinja is so supportive! Thanks to our lessons and her supportive attitude, I have significantly improved my conversational skills in Finnish. The change is really noticeable - before I couldn’t say a word in Finnish even though I knew some grammar and vocabulary, but now I can already handle different types of conversations! And now it feels great and fun to learn Finnish as never before because I can engage more in longer conversations with native speakers. Thank you, Pinja!

Pinja was super friendly and encouraging! I felt really comfortable being terrible at a language in front of her and am positive she can help me get better 😊

Suomi Clubi with Pinja was really fun! Every time we speak about a certain topic, for which we get additional material in advance. The best for me was: You can practice speaking in a save environment without being afraid of making mistakes.
