Language training provided by the employer has a positive effect on employees well-being at work. Knowing Finnish helps the employee to adapt at work even if the working language is English.
The content, schedule and material of the classes are negotiable. We can start from level 0, work with Finnish for daily life, or practice only oral skills. The teaching language is Finnish but I can use English as a support. I teach on Zoom/Google Meet or face-to-face at your office (in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa).
To make the learning run easily it is important that the group is small (max. 8) and that all the participants are at the same starting level. My recommendation for one class session is 45–90 minutes to keep the learning process effective but not exhausting.
In addition to providing Finnish classes, I also arrange language awareness mentoring and easy Finnish (selkosuomi) training for your company’s native Finnish-speaking colleagues. The optimal setting for professional Finnish learning is at work, where colleagues can play a significant role in the learning process. I will assist them in gradually changing from English to the Finnish form that non-native speakers will be able to understand.
For restaurant and cafe owners: I have a vocational qualification (ammatillinen perustutkinto) and years of experience working in lunch restaurants. I can help your staff learn to serve customers in Finnish.
