English and Music Tutoring with a Friendly Native Speaker
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

Piano lessons, all ages and levels are welcome in Helsinki!
If you would like to begin learning piano or improve your performance skills, please feel free to join my class! I’m passionate about teaching piano and working for people of all levels and ages.
I have been teaching pupils of all grade levels for over 5 years. And I also have studied piano pedagogy at Sibelius Academy. The knowledge and experience I have gained over the past years have shown me the importance of music making, which I would like to share with my students.
Let’s make music together!
Eda
Piano Lessons, from beginner to advanced! You can learn any genre you want! All ages are welcome 🤗
I am Eda, a piano student in Sibelius Academy. In my second year of Bachelor’s. I have entered and won several international piano competitions and performed internationally. I have most of my teaching experience with younger children (5-11), although I can teach piano to all ages, and any genre you want to learn, is fine with me. ( I can teach live or online, I can teach in English and in Turkish)
To speak more about learning the piano at a young age:
Piano learning can be a very transformative thing in a young child’s life. Learning the piano at a young age, helps the child to develop, get creative and obtain a really good eye-hand coordination.
Lila
IB English literature and English B for pre-IB, IB1 and IB2
I am a student at the University of Warwick in Politics, Economics and philosophy. I have taught French and English for 4 years, at all levels for a wide age range. I can teach English in French, Finnish and Mandarin. I am currently a research assistant at the University of Aalto in the international Business department.
Having graduated from the International Baccalaureate with 41 points, I understand how challenging it can be to find a tutor who will support you through these rough two years. However, by working together I am sure we can find a way to make this time a bit less stressful, while bringing you the grades you need!

English, conversation skills and test prep tutoring
English is an international language and it is never too late to brush up your conversation skills to chat with friends, for a job interview, to participate in meetings or pass a test to prove your language skills. I have a student-centred approach based on a mutual discussion about what goals you want to achieve and the duration to realize them. I give classes on an online webcam, but I am also flexible to travel to Helsinki and Espoo region if the need so arises. So what are you waiting for? Get in touch with me now and we will get a chance to work together. I also speak French, German as well as Bengali, an Indian language fluently and learnt several other languages. So I am particularly sensitive to the needs of students with multilingual and multicultural backgrounds. I also use music and theatre in my classes which makes them super fun and enjoyable.

I'm offering private 1-to-1 lessons tailored to your needs, whether you're looking to improve, dust off old skills, break new ground, prepare for a test or interview or even just explore the language. I can also help your child progress with their school work.
My name is Tommie. I was born and raised in the UK and moved to Finland 5 years ago to pursue my master’s degree in music. I hold over 10 years' experience teaching English, during which time I've had dozens of private students across all ages. I'm a published writer and music journalist with a background in academic writing and proof-reading. I’m also a competent Finnish speaker, which can be especially useful to identify tell-tale Finnish patterns of speech.
Perhaps you want to strengthen your grasp of English grammar, or expand your vocabulary. You may even want to just get more comfortable speaking. These are all avenues for us to explore, no matter whether the style is conversational or formal, business or academic. I look forward to meeting you and joining you on your English journey!
If you have any thoughts or questions you can get in touch and we can have a chat. I'm always happy to hear about your individual needs.

Piano courses for beginners and advanced players, every genre
I played the piano since I was 8 years old and I always enjoyed it. I have studied music education with piano, organ, and violin instruments for three years. I love playing different genres like classical piano, pop-rock piano, film music, or jazz and had experiences with piano pupils as well. So I would leave it open for you what to play, but also wouldn`t mind bringing pieces for you. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced. I am certain that I can teach you well. I hope to get an answer.

Santiago
Online virtual conversational English classes for adults
Hello,
My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.
I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.
In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.
Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

Hi everyone and nice to meet you! I have two years of teaching experience. I like interactive methods and teaching through songs, poems, and cinemas. I also give grammar exercises but do not overload you. Promise that lessons will be fun, easy-going and productive. We are going to use modern materials in the classes which I prepare myself.
