FAQs

  • A language trainer is a person dedicated to help you when you’re learning a new language with a focus on practical skills like speaking, listening, reading and writing.

    Unlike in traditional language teaching, we language trainers emphasise real-life communication, tailoring sessions to your specific needs and goals. We also include coaching techniques to motivate and guide you, helping you gain confidence and proficiency in the language.

  • Lot of practise in speaking Finnish! 😊

    I focus on creating a fun, engaging and safe learning environment where you can learn at your own pace. We prioritise speaking over studying grammar, helping you form sentences, expand your vocabulary and improve pronunciation. I provide personalised materials and recommendations tailored to your interests to keep you motivated and engaged.

    With all this, I most importantly offer you an opportunity to have fun while learning and advancing in Finnish!

  • It's simple! Just reach out to me here on the site by using one of the contact forms or message me at nooratrainsfinnish@gmail.com

    Tell me about your current Finnish level and what kind of practise you’re looking for. I will also love to hear if you have any specific goals in mind!

    I will get in touch with you and next:

    1. You’ll choose a suitable practise package for you

    2. I provide you with a booking link for my calender, so that you can book your first sessions. Alternatively we can agree on a fixed schedule together!

    3. I’ll request your information for the invoice and send you a PayPal -payment link by email. Payment is to be made prior first session.

    4. You’ll receive a meeting link, where you can connect on the time of your first practise!

    Remember that before deciding to start the practise, you also have the option to book a free 15-minute Google Meet call where we discuss your Finnish level and goals. Just write on your message, that you’d like to have this call.

    It’s a no-obligation chance to see if we’re a good fit. If you decide to start the practise, we’ll create a plan together.

    I'm looking forward meeting you and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

  • Payment is via PayPal with a debit or credit card, or if you have one, you can use your PayPal account to make the payment.

    I will send you a PayPal invoice by email after agreeing to start practising together and scheduling your first session.

    Payment is to be made before first session. You will receive a receipt by email after every payment you make.

  • You can schedule sessions flexibly during weekdays and weekends - contact me to ask sessions for your preferred time!

    When you get in touch with me, I will provide you with my calendar link where you’ll see my open times for practise.

    My normal sessions are 30 minutes. Anyhow if shorter or longer sessions fit better your schedule and needs,
    we can tailor that for you.

    Just send me a message and we'll make a schedule that works for you!

  • You'll need a computer or mobile device with a stable internet connection, preferably earphones or headphones for good sound quality, and a quiet, interruption-free environment where you can focus fully on your practice.

    Otherwise all you need is an open mind and being excited to speak Finnish! During our first session we’ll get to know each other better and I’ll get a better understanding of your current Finnish level. Every learner is different and so on is every session, anyhow usually during the first session you can expect to speak little about yourself and your life in Finnish.

    We will also discuss your wishes regarding the practise and I’m happy to hear if you have any specific topics you will like to practise during our sessions.

    So just grab a cup of coffee, tea or a freshment and get comfortable. I will take care of the rest 😊

  • Whilst I do not offer a specific YKI course, I do help my customers to prepare for YKI. So you can definitely practise for the speaking part of YKI with me!

    We’ll concentrate on practising the common topics of YKI test and you’ll get a good understanding of the test structure of the speaking part. We’ll also do mock tests to prepare you for the real test situation.

    Additionally I’ll guide you to useful self-practising material.

    When you want to practise your speaking for YKI, just let me know and we’ll tailor a practise schedule for you!

  • In my role as a language trainer, I concentrate on offering speaking practice and support for Finnish learners instead of language courses.

    Regardless of your level and whether you’re studying on your own or taking a course, I help you put what you learn into use —especially when it comes to speaking and using Finnish in everyday situations!

    I’m here to guide you, share tips, and practise together, so you can build confidence and fluency step by step. With me, you'll practice speaking Finnish in a safe space, allowing you to progress at your own pace to reach your goals. We’ll expand your vocabulary by focusing on words and concepts that are important to you.

    My support is best for you, when you like to actively study by yourself and rather than looking for a teacher, you wish to have someone who guides you in your learning and who is most importantly there to help you practise the things you’re learning!

  • I warmly recommend you to choose the learning path and support which you feel best suits for your needs - the most important is that you practise and advance with your Finnish!

    What I offer myself is fun, efficient and tailored language training focused on helping you speak everyday Finnish. You can trust that you'll always practise with the same person, and you’ll handle everything related to the service directly with me.

    I’m very dedicated in my support to help you improve your Finnish. I’m there also to support you between our sessions, whenever you have any questions or wish to have learning or practise resources regarding certain topics.

    My goal is always to make it as easy as possible for you to get better at Finnish!

  • When we schedule a session, my work begins: I dedicate time to focus on your learning needs and carefully plan each session in advance. This preparation ensures that I’m well-prepared and that we make the most of our time together, maximising your learning experience.

    Anyhow I also know that life happens and cancellation sometimes may be needed. If you do need to cancel, please contact me as soon as possible to reschedule by email.

    Sessions cancelled less than 24 hours from scheduled time or in case of no-show or cancellations after the session start, will not be rescheduled nor refunded.

    In all situations, please just get touch with me and we'll find solutions together!

  • We might all at times feel we're not getting where we want to be, fast enough.

    If you ever feel like this, I will love to address it with you and make modifications to our sessions together and guide you in your learning process. If appropriate, I will guide you with alternatives how you can make your progress more efficient with me or with another tutor or teacher!
