Finnish Lessons: Learn To Speak Finnish From Zero To Hero!

Hyvää päivää!

Moving to Finland? Need to prepare for a language test? Want to communicate at work in Finnish?

Whatever your reason to study Finnish, I will help you reach your goal.

My name is Jenni, a certified language teacher since 2014 from when I started teaching English. I have been teaching Finnish since 2019 for students of all levels and different language needs.

The lessons I teach are always customized for individual levels and needs; so whether you want to learn more about grammar or want to focus on conversational skills, or perhaps cultural aspects or a mixture of everything, we together will make a plan how to reach that goal. I will customize each of our lessons so you can get the most out of them and will see progress immediately.

Whether you have studied Finnish before or not, regardless of your level, I promise to help you achieve your goal.

Happy to answer any questions you might have. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Nähdään,
Jenni

About Me

Hey! Moi!

My name is Jenni and I am a certified (CELTA) English teacher and a Finnish teacher.

I was born and raised in Pirkanmaa, Southern Finland in a bilingual family (English and Finnish) and got my Bachelor's Degree from the Helsinki University of Applied Sciences.

In 2014 I studied to be an English teacher in Dublin, Ireland and have worked as a language teacher ever since in countries like Japan, New Zealand, China, Austria.

As a teacher my biggest strength is my experience: I have worked with students from different cultures, levels and ages. I have taught English to 2-year-old kindergarteners, teenagers prepping for their IELTS exams, young adults yearning to live and work abroad, business professionals and senior citizens.

I offer customized lessons to all my students. That means that whatever your goal is, however you prefer to learn, together we will figure out how to make lessons that help you learn best. I will map out your language needs and give you all the tools to learn the language, including all materials. All you need is the will to learn :)

If any special requests, I am always happy to accommodate when possible.

Looking forward to hearing from You!

Sincerely, Ystävällisin terveisin,
Jenni

I've had two lessons with Jenni and have really enjoyed both. Jenni is organized, friendly, and a patient teacher. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Finnish language teacher. I look forward to learning from her.
Jenni was great with our 10 year old son. He just started to learn English and doesn't like it that much. Nevertheless, Jenni succeeded in motivating him to talk English one and a half hours. It was a great lesson, Jenni is a highly skilled teacher!
Very patient and friendly
Bring a friend or up to 6 students in total for more affordable group lessons. If you have a ready group we can discuss goals, e.g. Finnish for work; passing YKI test; achieving a certain level; grammar; etc. Contact me for more information.
If you want: - a native English speaker - an experienced language teacher (8+ years) - a certified English teacher you have found a good match. Hi, my name is Jenni. I am a CELTA certified English teacher and have been teaching English full-time since 2014 in countries such as Ireland, China, Japan and now in Austria. I have taught both adults and children in private lessons as well as groups. My students have been everything from business professionals to teenagers preparing for their exchange year abroad to young children having their first contact with a foreign language. My greatest strength as a teacher is my experience in using different methods of teaching as well as different levels of students. I customize all my lessons to my students’ needs. Whether you are just beginning to learn English or already have a high level of English and are looking to keep up your skills or perhaps master a grammar point or two, I am confident I can help you achieve your goal. As a teacher, I will customize each of our lessons to your needs and wants. Usually, this means that I will assess your level of English during our first lesson. Then by asking you specific questions I find out more about why you are studying English and what is the goal you wish to achieve. We will also together decide what kind of materials (if any) we will use during our lessons. All of this I do so I know how to help you achieve your personal goal. A happy student makes a happy teacher! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Private Ukrainian lessons. LEARN UKRAINIAN EASILY WITH ME. "Unlock the World: Elevate Your Life with Ukrainian Language Lessons!"
As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education. I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love. My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education. I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.
