Hi, my name is Pinja and I was born and raised in Finland. At the university, I studied Social Science. I have worked in the field with children and families since 2009. When working with refugees and immigrants, I got interested in teaching languages. In 2015 I started teaching Finnish in a refugee center. Later I got my certificate in teaching. I have experience teaching Finnish and English in a traditional classroom setting and giving private lessons online and offline.

I have a degree in Social Science and a I’m a certified teacher. I have taught English and Finnish since 2015. I started by teaching beginner Finnish to immigrants in Helsinki. Later I got my certificate in teaching and since then I have taught Finnish and English online and offline. I have worked as an English teacher in the Philippines, in Nicaragua and in Mexico teaching children and adults. I enjoy giving private lessons, because I personalize the lessons for the student’s goals and interests.
As a teacher, I believe that I can help the students to grow as learners and to reach their learning goals. I am enthusiastic about education and always strive to do the best for my students. I have experience in planning authentic and interesting lessons and material.

I would like to support you to meet your individual learning goals; whether you aim to learn grammar or vocabulary for a certain topic or gain more confidence in conversation etc. The aim of the first lesson is to evaluate your level and to set up learning goals. We will talk about the different ways of learning (visual, auditory, reading/writing and kinesthetic) and make a plan according to your learning style and preferences. I believe that using different engaging activities keep students interested, motivated and support their learning. During the lesson we can use a variety of different materials, books, work sheets, articles, listening exercises, conversation exercises, games, music and videos. I have also made a lot of authentic material, such as grammar points, exercises and texts, to support your learning.

I teach Finnish by having a conversation and by reading texts together. You can choose which areas you are interested in, and I'll find texts that might be interesting for you. I can also teach Finnish basics by going through simple words and expressions, and by using a text book. Grammar comes along, and I'll explain why certain word forms are used as they come up in the texts or in spoken language.

I have a Ph.D in Political science from the University of Helsinki and have been teaching Finnish in various language tandems for years.

I offer Finnish grammar, conversation and YKI-testi preparation classes. All my classes are custom-made for your level, needs and wants. I will provide all the materials needed in our lessons and will be happy to take

I teach all levels, beginners from a book and more advanced speakers with just talking. However if you wish to learn from your own material or in a different way, I am open to everything.

GRAMMAR LESSONS;
.... and by real I mean: grammar, exercises, listening exercises, writing, talking, homework.. All that fun stuff in one package! ;)
I will provide you all learning material, which we will follow to have good structure in our learning plan. The book will be our main base for learning but of course I will happily teach you whatever else it is that you want to learn as well. Even though we will be learning from the book, I will also be teaching you the spoken language.
If you have your own material/way of learning that you would rather do, that works as well.

CONVERSATION LESSONS; we will talk, talk and talk, so it's gonna be fun!
If you're still in the beginner level but want conversation lessons, I will be happy to help. I will adjust the topic and my speaking speed to your level.

YKI-TESTI PREPARATION; class will be focused on the speaking part of the test. If you want to practise writing as well I can assign you writing homework which we will check in the beginning of the next class.

I will do my best teaching and explaining you whatever it is that you want/need to learn, but some grammatical explanations might be better to learn with a professional teacher.

Starting the first class we will speak only Finnish, so you won't notice any difficulty of the language and you learn as if it were your other mother tongue. If you are a music lover I can send you a playlist of the best Finnish songs of all time.
I have 3 years of experience in teaching Finnish also I speak 6 languages myself so I can teach you some tricks to make your way to the Finnish world easier. I am graduated as a professor of history of Finno-Ugric languages. I like food of different cultures, cinema and collecting train tickets.

Hello, my name is Eemeli and I`m native Finnish speaker and I come from southeast of Finland. My passion is to help people to reach their goals and that`s why I like to teach languages as well.

This is a course taught by a doctor in Philology and which leads to rapid learning of these European languages. The course can also be intensive so that the student acquires the knowledge in a shorter period of time.

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!

Hi! Moikka! My name is Varya. I’ve been living in Finland for 6 years, studying in Finnish, and I speak it fluently in daily life. During this time, I’ve faced many challenges: learning grammar and cases, immersing myself in the language environment, and adapting to life and communication with Finns.

I understand how difficult it can be to overcome language barriers, grasp cultural nuances, and integrate into Finnish society. Through my own experience, I’ve discovered effective ways to learn and adapt — and now I want to help others navigate this journey more easily and quickly.

In my lessons, I offer a personalized approach: we can focus on conversational practice, academic Finnish, or topics that interest you personally. I also enjoy sharing insights about Finnish culture, traditions, and everyday life — so you can learn the language in the context of real Finland.

What I offer:
- Individualized lessons tailored to your goals and interests: conversational skills, grammar, academic preparation, or hobbies
- Varied lesson formats using materials to develop listening, speaking, writing, and reading skills
We can also agree on the lesson duration that best fits your goals and is convenient for both of us.
