Relaxed and goal-oriented teaching in Finnish and English

From 23 € /h

I do not have a formal graduate degree in teaching, but I place a high value on all forms of learning a language (listening, speaking, reading & writing) and I believe my prior experience as a tutor compensates for this lack. I have years of past teaching experience as a music teacher and a substitute teacher. I have taught individually, in big classes, and in kindergarten as well.

In general, my method is quite dynamic, flexible, and goal-oriented. I am very flexible and listen to my students on their goals. I am prepared to research how to develop as a teacher and how to meet my students' goals best. I provide material to help my students improve independently between lessons (optional homework).

In English, I use a specific coursebook series which is also designed for self-study, but I do implement some additional materials for learning such as Preply content, lesson PDFs, and audio files from external sources according to students' individual needs.

In the Finnish language, I use multiple different textbooks and audio which provide learning and practice for the written word as well as the spoken language. I implement materials found online as well. There are varying ways to meet the goals of students, and thus the specifics of these methods should be applied individually.

About Me

My name is Arttu. I am a 31-year-old Finnish native speaker with fluency in English. In addition to Finland, I have lived in the UK for 3 years where I did my Bachelor's degree.

My interests are music, painting, audiobooks, exercise, learning new things, and various games. I also enjoy conversing with people from various cultures and have traveled to many countries over the past years.

My hope here is to find good and long-lasting relationships with students whom I can see learning, growing, and enjoying their time learning.

Guitar teacher with over 10 years of experience (+ music theory, composing, music technology, and music production) in Finnish and English

20 € /h

It all depends on the subjects taught, but I teach with different kinds of materials and ideas. Naturally, I use various media resources available in this day and age.

As online teaching might suffer from latency, I tend to focus mainly on dialogue-like playing going back and forth instead of trying to play together. For actual live playing, I can provide additional audio resources for the student to learn by themselves.

I want to help my students learn as effectively as they can without relying eternally on teachers to keep on learning things. I believe music is a discovery one must do for themselves as well and teachers can provide tools and support in that process.

This class is designed for students who would like support with school English, entrance exams (up to university level), grammar, writing, and overall confidence using the language. Lessons are personalised based on each student’s level, goals, strengths and areas they would like to improve.

I can help with homework, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, speaking, writing, exam preparation and improving overall performance in English at school. Lessons are suitable for students preparing for school exams, entrance exams, oral exams, or general English tests.

Having completed both IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) in an international school fully taught in English, I understand the challenges students often face when learning and using academic English in a school environment. I especially enjoy helping students not only improve their grades, but also become more confident and comfortable expressing themselves naturally in English.

Lessons are supportive, engaging, and adapted individually to each student. Depending on the student’s needs, classes can focus more on grammar and structure, speaking practice, exam preparation, academic writing, or developing stronger communication skills overall.

I offer relaxed, personalized English lessons for students of all ages and levels in Vienna. I tailor my lessons to your specific needs and goals, whether it’s exam preparation, proofreading, homework help, improving conversation skills, or simply becoming more confident speaking English in everyday life.

As someone who has been learning German since the age of 12, I understand how challenging and sometimes intimidating it can be to learn another language. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students improve their English skills, but also to create a supportive and open learning environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and having fun along the way.

I focus on making English feel natural, approachable, and enjoyable, with lessons adapted to each student’s interests, pace, and learning style.

Class Description:
Reading and writing are the fundamentals of communication, every day life, and critical thinking. Reading allows individuals to inquire knowledge while writing allows individuals to communicate. My goal is to help students pronounce and read vocabulary words efficiently and write with accurate spelling and proper punctuation.
I'm very passionate about the study of communication because it is how humans have evolved throughout history; it is how we communicate, share our marketplace of ideas, and connect as a society.

English Literature is a commonly taught subject in school, but for good reason. The concepts taught in these classes help us learn crucial lessons about our society and ourselves. This is because the themes and traits of character in these books reflect humanity to be more relatable to readers. The skills that are often taught in Literature classes are academic writing, analyzing books & their meanings, and writing essays.

As a college student who is currently majoring in English & Comparative Literature, I understand and utilize these skills in my college endeavors. Whether I am writing academically in my Rhetoric Written Argument 200 class, analyzing but also making meaning out of a 55 chapter book (Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) in my Introduction to English and Comparative Literature class, or writing creatively to tell stories in my Introduction to Creative Writing class, I am still using those skills I learned in high school and middle school to create ideas and improve myself.

In my class, I will be tutoring your student based on their academic needs. On the first day of class, I will provide an activity to assess what your student thrives at and what they need to improve on. From then on, I will create activities based off of the skill/skills your student should be working on, whether that be analyzing, annotating, writing essays/academic writing, etc. I will also connect ideas together to help your student understand the bigger picture of Literature. For example, I could teach your student how annotating your book leads to understanding the content better, which then leads to being able to complete assignments at a better quality, and that would then lead to understanding the material more comprehensively, and that leads to scoring well on tests and/or essays.

My classroom will help students feel comfortable to ask questions and to grow because I understand how important it is to ask questions in a judgement free environment. As a student who recently undertook the middle and high school experiences, as compared to many teachers, I value your student's experience and I want to help your student enjoy it. Pressures from school can lead to immense stress, which is why I want to create a fun and effective learning environment for your student based off of their needs.
