About Ville
I speak 8 languages myself and have a profound understanding of languages and how they work. Although an academic background says nothing about a teacher, I have a degree in Linguistics. What counts more is that I have taught languages privately for the past 7 years for more than 18 individuals, some of these teaching relationships having lasted for years. As a language detective I have observed my native language for many years! I will teach you to be the best! Welcome!

Firstly. Learning needs to be fun! And I promise you it will be fun, 'cos I am nothing but fun to learn with! Our methodology depends on what you wish to learn and what your current proficiency in Finnish is. I also want to get an idea of how you learn best. Then I can use my magic of experience to facilitate your learning! If you are already advanced, we will have fun learning the more complex stuff. If, however, you are in the beginning phase my focus will be to teach you to become an independent learner, as this will profit you the most. But to become an independent learner one needs help in the beginning. Especially with a language as unique as Finnish. We will start with the most commonly used communicative words and start from there! If you have your own study material, let me know!

Perfect! Fantastic lesson, great learning tools, highly recommend.
Perfect! Really good. Informative and relaxed lesson.
Perfect! Great first lesson! Can’t wait to have more lessons with Ville
- I enjoy our classes so much! It is always a pleasure to teach him! Robert has a very good habit of making notes and also being self-initiative, using Finnish in his life and learning phrases. I can see that he has a good mind for learning languages and each time I get the feeling he is able to digest what I am teaching him - be that his or my merit, we are doing it together!Ville's response :
Perfect! Loistava opettaja!
- I truly enjoy our lessons, not only because Jesse is such a great person, but because he is determined and dedicated in his study of the language! He has quickly started to use words and phrases he has learned during our classes and already shows great intuition in applying new words and sentence structures. This makes my knowledge feel valued and well-received!Ville's response :
Let's do it!
Perfect! Ville is super knowledgeable; he has the ability to explain nuances and the logic behind the language which really helps it all sink in! Not to mention the fact that he's patient and can adapt to our pace as students, and he goes above and beyond in finding resources. Also, he has a great grasp on how to learn a language well which needless to say has taken much of the pressure out of this process. All in all, an absolutely fantastic tutor!
- I am truly fascinated of the abilities of an independent genious! Truly, Basalt is showing amazing promise to master a unique and intriguing language! Yet emphasizing too much on certainty and correctedness, do I often notice an increase in the students' hesitancy to speak. Bas will superfly her obstacles for sure!Ville's response :
Perfect! Ville is a very supportive tutor and clearly explains how I’ve gone wrong and why. Lessons are well tailored to my knowledge level and focus on my interests. We have a lot of fun in our lessons. I’m looking forward to continuing to improve my skills and increase my confidence in speaking Finnish.
- Kirsti is surprised herself how much she knows intuitively! I find her strength being in sincere communication and thorough questions regarding the "why's" of the language! In the future she will develop quite an ability to understand spoken Finnish and if she has the time, her speech will catch up soon enough!Ville's response :
Perfect! Ville is willing to provide a flexibility to learning styles and approaches. He is very personable and encourages an open experience.

I started taking lessons with Ville when I already knew some of Finnish. He is the one who guided me through all the challenges of intermediate level and made me start speaking Finnish, completely leaving English behind. Ville always gave me fun and creative tasks to boost my learning. Our lessons were exciting enough to keep me interested and willing to practise. I love how eager Ville is to deliver his knowledge in a unique way for each student, so that everyone feels heard in his classroom.
Ville really helped me take my Finnish skills to the next level. We first met in Finland, while I was an exchange student there. Ever since he's been like a language parent to me, encouraging me to speak and understanding me even when others wouldn't. This turned it into a fun experience for both of us. Also it boosted my confidence and allowed me to gradually become more fluent and proficient. Thanks to him I'm not afraid to speak Finnish in any situation.
He's very passionate about languages and has studied too many for me to keep count of. He speaks my mother tongue, German, too, and very well at that. I could always very well relate to his language passion, which created many joyful moments. Together it led us to dig into more everyday and slangish terms and phrases. Terms and phrases of the kind, which you sometimes won't even find in a dictionary, but which can be very common in everyday speech. Fond memories remain of those moments, because many of these terms and phrases sound quite crazy, when you think about them like an outsider instead of a native.
Apart from tons of talking we together also read texts & chat messages and watched video clips & TV shows, which I couldn't yet understand on my own. When I needed help preparing for a new speaking situation or when writing some text, he was always there to assist.
Overall if your goal is to really learn, how to get by in Finnish, Ville is definitely a big recommendation. I would study with him any time again.View more recommendations
