My name is Lidija, I currently work at a consultancy firm, where I use business level Finnish and English daily. In my previous role at a law firm, I worked extensively in Finnish, English, and Russian, gaining valuable business language expertise. I have native level skill in all three languages. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your language skills, I am here to support you on your journey. Contact me and let's start a conversation!

Do you want to learn Finnish to talk with your friends or family members? Are you planning a trip to Finland? Are you relocating or planning to relocate to Finland? ...or are you interested in trying to learn Finnish for brain training? Then these lessons are for YOU! I offer fully personalised lessons based on your goals, current level and learning preferences. You don’t have to feel insecure about anything. We can work with a textbook if that's what you need, or ditch it entirely in favour of videos, articles, and conversation. No matter your level (even if you know 0 Finnish!), I’ll find and create suitable and interesting materials that will actually help you progress. Lessons can include: conversation, pronunciation practice, grammar lessons and writing tasks, exam preparation, reading articles or stories together, or learning by watching series. Or if you just want to understand the memes... Self-study support Since the amount of language exposure between lessons is the key to faster progress, I'll share resources you can use independently as well. That way we can concentrate on the things you can only do with a teacher during the lessons :)

I'm a teacher with over 12 years of teaching experience. During my career, I've helped hundreds of students become fluent in Finnish. Preparation for professional purposes, YKI, as well as oral fluency are my specialties. Nowadays, I teach communications to native Finnish speakers at a university, while being a foreigner myself. And I know exactly how to get your Finnish to the proper level too. We are not going to waste your time on things you don't need. Instead, we will be practicing your speech and language comprehension skills. Alongside, I will make sure you're familiar with the main grammatical concepts. This will make you much more confident when speaking Finnish. Ready to boost your Finnish to the next level? Let's get in touch!
