Moikka! I am offering English tutoring to anyone and everyone looking to improve their English language skills! I am a published writer with a strong history of academic writing. That said, I want to help you meet your own personal goals—be it improving your conversational skills, writing skills, or getting ready to pass those English language tests! Also, I understand quite a lot of Finnish which helps me to identify common mistakes native-Finnish speakers make. It helps me to better explain the logic of English from the perspective of a Finnish speaker. :)

Additionally, I can offer lessons in piano and/or music composition (my main field.) For this, I can arrange a place for us to meet.

I have open availability for teaching on most weekday evenings and during the day on weekends. So send me a message and let's grab a coffee somewhere and get to chattin'. I look forward to meeting you! :)

Interests: Music, art, culture, humanities, politics, architecture, food, and pretty much anything else

Rhythm is one of the basics of music, and for me is the most important one. Everything is based on rhythm and it's wonderful to discover the interrelationship between them. I can teach percussion lessons for all levels. Let's discover how wonderful rhythm is!
