Great first lesson! Ville was precise and engaging, and he's clearly put a *lot* of thought into how to teach Finnish (and in general, how to learn languages). I also really enjoyed his pronunciation tips: he knew exactly what I was doing wrong and had great suggestions for how to fix things. Very fun lesson and I'm excited to keep learning with him

Ville explains the language analytically, which is perfect for how I learn. He also finds external resources I can draw on during the week outside of the lesson time. He is quick to answer questions (I always have questions) and explain nuances of Finnish that differ from my native language. Very encouraging about my pronunciation and learning in general. Excellent and scientific.

Ville showed up to our first lesson incredibly prepared and with a clear plan for going forward. I'm not sure how confident I am in my ability to learn Finnish but I'm very confident in his ability to teach it.

Helped on Resume and Cover Letter checking three times so far, really good advice and inspire me many ideas about how to express my sayings in an alternative and accurate way:D even refresh my mind about job hunting ~ a really smart and trustful teacher and thanks a lot for the help!

very helpful understanding of grammar — perfect for the way i think & learn, so i feel very lucky to have booked with ville. i'll be back.

I booked the lesson mainly for asking questions and getting insights about learning Japanese from a non-native speaker perspective. He asked me about my main problems and in one hour we covered all of these points (particles, pronunciation, kanji). Ville was very friendly and encouraging. Thanks for the lesson!
