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!

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 some Finnish!
Just grab a cup of coffee, tea or a freshment, and get comfortable :)

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.
My goal is 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, maximizing 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.
To have a free cancellation, please contact me at least 24 hours before your scheduled session.
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, or if appropriate guide you with alternatives how you can make your progress more efficient with me or with another tutor or teacher!
I'm all about openness and finding the best way for you to go forward.
