Online Finnish classes with skilled Finnish tutors

Let's make learning fun, pidetään hauskaa yhdessä oppitunnilla! :) I love learning languages! Rakastan kielten opiskelua! :) That's why it is my passion to help others learn my native language. To me Finnish is the most beautiful language in the world, which makes me enjoy teaching it. I love meeting people from all over the world, too. Let's learn about Finland and about your culture - together! Let's get to know each other in Finnish! Opitaan tuntemaan toisemme oppitunneilla! :) I have studied numerous language throughout my life, which makes it easy for me to understand your position as a language learner. Learning a new language takes time and a lot of willpower, but I will do my best to make it a smooth ride for you! :) To me that means being a patient and an empathetic teacher. Learning isn't always linear and it is totally understandable to have times, when you don't have time to do your homework. :) I want to listen to your wishes! If you wish to study more "traditionally", I will find a textbook that suits your level, so that we can go through it chapter by chapter together. That way it is easy to focus on grammar, reading and writing. If you want to focus more on speaking, we can use games that help us with come up with different themes. We can also go through news articles, short clips or social media posts by reading, translating and discussing about them. Don't be afraid to request anything; the lessons are for YOU! Älä pelkää esittää toiveita, teen parhaani, jotta tunnit sopivat juuri SINULLE! :)

Hello there! My name is Anniina, and I’m a native Finnish speaker who is truly passionate about helping you succeed in your Finnish language journey, whether you’re preparing for the YKI-testi or simply want to master everyday Finnish for life in Finland. I believe that the most important part of language learning is speaking and communicating as much as possible. The more you practice, the more naturally you’ll learn to express yourself in any language! I also emphasize the importance of listening to native-level speech, especially the real, everyday language that people actually use in Finland. In Finnish, spoken language can be quite different from the formal version you might find in textbooks, so I make sure to guide my students through authentic, real-life language. As an empathetic and patient teacher, I always adjust my speaking pace and style to suit your individual level and needs. I currently only teach adults - I offer structured beginner lessons, focused YKI-testi preparation, conversation practice, and even proofreading to help you feel confident in all aspects of Finnish. My specialty is making sure you feel comfortable and supported, not just in conversation but also in navigating daily life and culture in Finland. I’m always happy to answer your questions about Finnish language, culture, or daily life, and I strive to create a warm and encouraging learning environment. Feel free to message me and let's discuss your Finnish language journey and goals!

El finlandés tiene fama de ser un idioma difícil, pero yo creo que el problema no es la dificultad sino que tiene una lógica diferente a la del español o el inglés. Por eso, al principio hay que sumergirse en la estructura del idioma (qué es super interesante! y que además explica un poco la forma de ver el mundo de los finlandeses). (Ahora) esto no quiere decir que vamos a dejar la práctica de lado. Vamos a utilizar el idioma desde la primera clase.

Let's build up your fluency! I am a creative, empathic and open-minded person with strong listening skills. I am motivating my students to make steps in the foreign language, steady and regularly. I personalize my lessons individually and use strategies that fits your needs the best.

Natural language without so much of Grammar My name is Savva, I'm living in Finland. I'm born in Sweden, but my ethnicity is Finnish, my mother tongue is Finnish, but I speak Swedish natively. We Finns were a long time the biggest group of foreigners in Sweden. I learned English at school, later in my life, in Iceland, I started to speak very much English daily with a man from the USA. I also started to speak Icelandic. I like to listen to music, Antonio Vivaldi and The Beatles, to mention some. Like younger, I ran Marathons. I teach Finnish and Swedish naturally. Grammar can be very boring, so I keep it to a minimum. I let you read aloud and if you already speak a little, you tell me what’s visible in a picture and we discuss that. I have materials also for complete beginners.

Personalized Finnish Lessons > Learn Finnish from a Native Speaker! Hello, my name is Iida! ☺️ I'm a native speaker of both Finnish & English with more than six years of teaching experience, during which I have taught thousands of lessons to hundreds of students. I have worked with learners of all ages across a range of subjects, including Finnish, English, software development, graphic design, and illustration. I am patient and understanding, and I prioritize fostering a comfortable, relaxed environment for all of my students. I am committed to providing a comprehensive, professional, and structured approach to language acquisition.

💥 Finnish is impossible to learn …if you learn it without me! ❌ Finnish is not learned «15 minutes a day», and not from textbooks alone. It needs three things: a plan, living material, and someone to guide you. I WILL GLADLY HELP: - with YKI keskitaso and ylin taso 📝 - people who have lived here for years and want to switch from English to Finnish 💬 - applicants to Finnish schools and universities 🎓 - professionals: interviews, terminology, colleagues 💼 😮‍💨 «I tried and gave up.» The reason is usually the same: months of rules and cases, never any real use. But we do THE OPPOSITE! You speak from the first lesson, and we take up grammar the moment it blocks a specific thought. Rules gain meaning, you gain momentum. 🗂 How it works: a shared online board with all materials, a call on any platform, homework in an amount comfortable for you, texting with me in Finnish, and a programme BUILT AROUND YOU. 📚 Beginners start with textbooks, but no longer than 6 months. Then living Finnish: series, podcasts, Yle and selkouutiset, job ads, letters from Kela and Migri, real conversations in shops and offices. ✨ TRIAL LESSON will show you your real level, your goal and an honest timeframe, the format in action, and a short personal plan. ✉️ Write to me with your goals and your current level estimate, and I will offer a time for a call asap. Thank you! KOHTI MENESTYSTÄ YHDESSÄ!

Finnish language teacher, suomen kielen opettaja Moi, hauska tutustua! I´m Jessica (or Tuulia!) and I´m here to help you with the Finnish language! I have been teaching Finnish for two years and I work with learners of all levels. From your first "moi" to your "juoksentelisinkohan". PLEASE MESSAGE BEFORE BOOKING A LESSON OR PACKAGES!✨ I combine audio, visuals and reading materials during my lessons, and if you want, I can give you homework to be complete at your own time. I also accommodate reading challenges, where we finish reading a book or an article and discuss about it once a month.

Hi, I'm Elsa. I am a language learning enthusiast and a native Finnish speaker eager to help non-natives improve their Finnish speaking skills. As a Community Tutor my focus is on improving your Finnish through conversation. I am also more than willing to listen to the students' requests on topics and specific areas of improvement and when needed can assign the student homework.

Native Finnish speaker offering Finnish lessons with experience in teaching Finnish I Speak 5 languages. English, German, Spanish, Italian, and Finnish. I have experience in teaching Finnish. In the first lesson we discuss, what are your learning methods and preferences for the upcoming classes.

Let me help you to reach full comfort in expressing yourself in Finnish. I was born in Helsinki, Finland, and was raised in a multilingual family where my passion for languages originated. I studied business management and worked as an event manager, and I have always been enthusiastic about teaching others. A decade of working as a ballet instructor in Helsinki and my subsequent experience as a teacher and social worker in a New Zealand high school have strengthened my belief that we rise by lifting others. Having studied different languages over the years, I understand the challenges that come with learning new grammar and the frustration of trying to convey an idea without being able to find the right words for it. Language proficiency is the proverbial key that opens doors to broader geographic, cultural and social horizons, all while enhancing our professional opportunities. Are you a doctor coming from abroad to practice medicine in Finland? Let us hone your medical consultation skills in Finnish together. Are you a master’s or PhD student coming to Finland on an exchange? Let me help you get your Finnish on track. Are you a professional, seeking to collaborate seamlessly with your overseas colleagues using Finnish? Let’s talk business.

Finnish language tutor with a passion for teaching Hello! My name is Karla, and I have been helping Finnish learners since 2020. I have a lot of volunteering experience in different organizations and language groups, in person as well as online. I have also taught myself several languages, so I am able to understand the struggles you may have but also find ways to make learning more fun. One of my biggest motivations to learn languages is to be able to help Finnish learners with all kinds of language backgrounds. Aside from learning languages I love playing music, singing, dancing, doing crafts, playing games and spending time in nature. Most of my teaching experience comes from volunteering in different organizations, but I have been giving private/group lessons online since April 2025. I have taught both individual students and groups in person and online, and have been teaching Finnish mostly through English, Russian and Ukrainian. But I can help you in any language I know. Currently I am only teaching adult learners. My teaching methodology is based on focusing the lessons around the learner's personal interests and motivation. I can help you build up your vocabulary and figure out grammar topics when they come up naturally as well as practice conversations on your level. If you want to use a textbook for more structured approach, that is also possible.

No pain AND gain! Learn grammar naturally through conversation practice with an experienced teacher! I never learned a language in school, I learned on my feet. As a teacher I emphasise practicality and straightforwardness. As soon as you know three words, I’ll ask you to put them into a sentence. With me you won’t be ‘taught’ per se, you will be invited to learn by doing, to try things out, and to accumulate competence upon what you already know. My students quickly learn to ask me ‘can I say…? (voinks mä sanoa…?)’ followed by something they have just formulated. Before long, they start to create perfectly applicable and natural sounding Finnish sentences (which can often be short and make absolutely no sense when translated to English) by applying Finnish the same way Finns do.
