Hyvää päivää!

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

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.

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

Reviews (3)

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
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.
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.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Giorgia
Italian language lessons from a native speaker - any level
Hello everyone! I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy. I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language. I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments. Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages. The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above). Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Ukrainian as foreign language. "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.

Urdu Conversation - Learn to speak fluent Urdu with a fine accent
I am a native Urdu speaker and love this polite and cultured language. Those students who wish to speak Urdu for the sake of personal enjoyment and fulfillment – or even to converse with their spouses, friends, and family – will learn with me to speak the language with a fine neutral accent. I will provide several real-life scenarios and encourage students to hold hesitation-free conversations with a pleasant accent. At the end of successfully finishing this course, the student will be able to converse in Urdu without hesitation. Urdu is a beautiful language that is spoken by more than 200 million people worldwide in countries like Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, the United Arab Emirates, and other parts of the world. Urdu started developing in North India around Delhi in the 12th century. It was based on the language spoken in the area around Delhi and was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian as well as Turkish. Urdu originates from Hindi, sometimes referred to as the 'sister' language of Urdu due to its grammatical basis. However, Hindi is written in 'Devanagari', a script similar to Sanskrit, and its vocabulary is influenced more by Sanskrit than by Persian and Arabic.

Learn how to speak English confidently. I’m Emily, bilingual English and Italian. Growing up in a bilingual household made me realise at a young age that I was moving between two worlds, languages and cultures.

I believe in adapting my method according to the needs and abilities of my students. I tailor lessons to make them as personalised as possible, with a particular focus on spoken English. Getting to know English and its ever-changing world will be a great adventure to go on together. Let’s go!
