Multilingual Qualified Teacher | Special lessons for geeks! | open & patient Moi! I’m Satu, a language teacher from Finland, now living in a small village in Switzerland. I’m a qualified English and French teacher, but six years ago I fell in love with teaching Finnish instead! My lessons are fully personalised, so we can focus on what you need. We can follow a textbook, or mainly use videos, articles, and conversation cards. I also love teaching fellow geeks: we can learn Finnish through pop culture and wonderfully niche topics 🤓 I have a lot of experience with self-study, so I know learning a new language requires time and effort. That's why I provide plenty of self-study materials and try to keep our lessons fun! :) I am a qualified English and French teacher but I fell in love with teaching Finnish! I have several years of teaching experience in different settings. I've taught Finnish on Italki and in a company teaching Finnish to internationals hoping to move to Finland. Before that, I've also taught French in secondary school and English in vocational school in Finland. When it comes to my teacher persona, I am a kind, patient open-minded person - not at all like your worst fear of a super-reserved, cold Finn. That said, I'm still a Finn! I'm very versatile - I'll teach you how you want to be taught (including personal preferences, such as whether you wish to be corrected while speaking or not, for example). We'll find out what works best for you, taking into account your goals, current level, and what topics you like to talk about :)

Satu is a great teacher. She seems genuinely interested in my success learning Finnish. I plan to be under her tutelage for as long as it takes.
