My first Finnish language teacher in Finland in 2022 was Tarleena Lehtiniemi, and she made a great impression on me.

Thanks to her, I fell in love with the Finnish language with all my heart. She is warm-hearted, patient, and a very skilled teacher. She explained things clearly and used English only as a support language when we did not understand any Finnish at all.
Our group consisted of Ukrainians, and Tarleena taught us in a way that everyone could understand. The lessons were active, interesting, and helped us learn the rules well.
I am truly grateful that she was my first teacher.
I studied Finnish in Tarleena’s courses, and she is an absolutely amazing teacher!

Thanks to her, I learned Finnish so well that after a year I started teaching Finnish to children at a school myself.
I have always recommended Tarleena to everyone who wants to learn Finnish. If you can choose where to study – go to her classes!
Tarleena knows how to explain things clearly and simply. The classes are always pleasant, and learning feels light and fun. I am truly happy that I got to learn with her.
She loves her work, and you can see that immediately.
There are many teachers, but very few have such a warm heart and such skill in teaching as Tarleena does.
