Born and raised in Helsinki, Finland. After living the last couple of years in New Zealand, I am finally back in Finland again.
Even though I studied Business Management in Helsinki, I somehow always end up going back to teaching...
With a decade of experience from teaching ballet, and in NZ from working in Alternative Education (high school) I believe we rise by lifting others.
Finnish language is quite a special one, and it would be an honour to support your journey to become fluent in Finnish, while learning more about the country!
Ich als Lehrkraft
After years of studying all these different languages, I understand the pain of learning new grammar, and the frustration when trying to express yourself without having the right words.
Instead of drowning students in new rules of the language or gluing their noses into to the books.. I want to keep if fun and interesting.
Besides over a decade of teaching ballet, I have been teaching in primary school back in Finland, and since last year in alternative education here in New Zealand.
After two years on the other side of the world, it is time to honour my roots and have my share in keeping Finnish language alive!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
With me you get to talk, sign, read poems and articles, write whatever challenges you, even do some good old homeworks.
My main goal is to keep the lesson topics always interesting, touching topics that are useful on a daily basis, with emphasis on vocal communication skills!
I'll make sure that after every lesson you'll feel like you have a better understanding of how things like sauna, sunshine, or lack of sunshine, and lakes impact people's mindset, culture and why it matters.
This is my third (or fourth) package of lessons with Sylvia, and I’m not going to stop! I really feel how I am enhancing my speaking skills with Sylvia, so thankful to her 🫶🏻

Excellent teacher, I highly highly recommend :) Sylvia has been such a patient and helpful tutor and language-learning companion that I have learnt a lot from. Her knowledge about diverse topics has helped our conversations flow and we can discuss about so many different things. Thank you for your help, insights and advice, I really appreciate it! :D

Hän on paras kieliopettaja, jonka olen koskaan tavannut. Jokainen oppitunti hänen kanssaan on mukava ja hyödyllinen, koska hän on ystävällinen, luova ja huomaavainen. Hänen selitystaitonsa on erityisen hyvä, joka auttaa minua oppimaan paljon, erityisesti uusista sanoista ja ääntämistä.
She is the best language tutor I have ever met. Every lesson with her is pleasant and useful thanks to her friendly, creative and attentive approach. Her explanation skill is exceptionally good, which helps me learn a lot, especially about new words and pronunciation.

Sylvia has assisted me with talking and I am really happy she supports various topics, she corrects your mistakes while not interrupting and providing good explanations. She is also knowledgeable and the conversation goes non-stop. She adjusts to the student's wishes perfectly. I recommend learning and studying with her.

Sylvia was very nice and I had a good time talking and learning with her. She gave me great tips on how to learn more vocabulary which I really appreciated as it is my weakest point. :) Thank you for the lesson!
