Welcome!
Private Finnish lessons are an excellent option when you want to learn Finnish through an individual approach – focusing on your needs and interests and adapting to your schedule. In private lessons, the topics can be built around what is most important to you in your daily life, and learning strategies are chosen based on what works the best for your individual talents. Lessons with an experienced private teacher and native speaker are also a unique opportunity to learn the intricacies of Finnish culture through language learning and to understand more fully the experiences you've had living in Finland.

How does it work?
We meet on Skype, Teams or Google Meet. For beginners and early intermediate learners, the lessons are structured around a text book in combination with a rich variety of original material. With more advanced learners, all the materials I use are drawn from authentic sources, including regular discussion of Finnish current affairs and cultural topics.
The lesson can be cancelled up to 24 hours before its scheduled time. Later cancellations are billed at the normal lesson rate.
Testimonials
[S]he has provided me with an unparalleled learning experience. In her lessons she superbly combines detailed knowledge of the inner workings of Finnish with exceptional skill in communicating them. [––] She is an exceptional teacher.
I was extremely pleased with her teaching approach as she focused on my individual needs and aims. She came well prepared to each lesson and adapted the plan according to the progress I had made.
Thanks to her drive and experience, the lessons are not just about gaining knowledge, but they also inspire you to deepen that knowledge in your own time.
In the lessons interesting and varied materials are used, showing Finnish in natural everyday use. The lessons have helped me improve my Finnish significantly.
Our Finnish conversation lessons had a friendly atmosphere. I've recommended the lessons to my friends.
I heard nothing but praise about her from our students; some said they had finally grasped this or that mechanism of Finnish grammar thanks to Paula’s explanations.
About me
Hi! My name is Paula. I am a native speaker of Finnish, a linguist and an experienced Finnish teacher – I have taught at University level, at language schools and integration programs, and have worked several years as a full-time private Finnish teacher. I love helping my students become proficient in this language which is often called difficult, but which I know to be absolutely learnable. Seeing my students make progress and make discoveries is the most rewarding thing about this job. My biggest aim in teaching Finnish is to teach communication and to encourage my students to use Finnish from the very beginning, both during lessons and in everyday life. For that to be possible, I make sure I create a friendly and welcoming learning environment in which my students can freely try things out and build their confidence in using Finnish in everyday life. I have seen dozens and dozens of people advance from a beginner to a fluent speaker, and would be very happy to help you make that journey too.
