Finnish Language Teacher & Special Education Teacher
Founder of Waltari Education

Hello!

Welcome! My name is Riikka Waltari, and I am a qualified private Finnish teacher and special education teacher with a Master’s degree in Education from the University of Helsinki.

I have extensive experience teaching Finnish to learners at different levels. My lessons are carefully planned and tailored to each student’s individual needs and goals. We study with clear goals in mind, but always in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

Private Finnish lessons tailored to your goals

As a private Finnish teacher, I work with learners at different levels, from complete beginners to more advanced Finnish speakers. Lessons can focus on everyday Finnish, speaking and communication, grammar, writing, or preparation for the YKI test. My aim is to make learning Finnish clear, practical and motivating. We can build the lessons around your individual goals, whether you want to communicate more confidently in everyday life, use Finnish at work, strengthen a particular language skill, or prepare for the YKI test. I believe that language learning works best when it is connected to real life. Your own background, interests and experiences can therefore be part of our lessons, making Finnish more meaningful and easier to use outside the classroom.

A little about me

In my free time, I love spending time outdoors with my family. I am passionate about nature and enjoy learning new things myself. One of the things I value most about teaching is meeting people from different backgrounds and learning about the world through my students. I hope to see you in a Finnish lesson soon!
