Hannu is a Finnish teacher with a broad vision. He knows the language he teaches, the language of his students, and has extensive experience, so his students can trust they’re in good hands. He’s also a great connoisseur of Finnish history and society. According to him, Finnish isn’t difficult; you just need to explain it well, while the students do their part and study.

To learn well, it's important to have an extra dose of perseverance and enough time, but also to write, speak, and listen to Finnish in your free time. Whenever possible.
