Relaxed and goal-oriented teaching in Finnish and English

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.

Extra information

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.

I am offering an individual approach and materials alongside learning, so this is a good option for anyone who wants to learn for any specific reason.

I can teach anyone from A1-B2.

Contact me and we'll discuss your needs and preferences, and move on from there.

Experience / Qualifications

200 hour TEFL (i-to-i TEFL) - ongoing

I do not have a formal graduate degree in teaching, but I believe my prior experience as a tutor compensates for this lack. I have over 10 years of past teaching experience as a music teacher and additional experience as a substitute teacher as well. I have taught privately, in big classes, and in kindergarten as well. Agewise, I have taught children and adults from ages 4 to 55.
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.
