I thought Joni was reasonably good at gauging which material to skip based on my previous knowledge of Finnish and he has clear pronunciation. I look forward to studying the rest of Suomen Mestari 1 :) Kiitos paljon Joni.

Joni on oikein hyvin suomalainen kieltenopettaja ja on auttanut minua suomalaisessa keskustelussa ja kulttuurissa

Very good class with Joni. He knows when to go to a specific part of the chapter and then jump back to help you understand and give you examples at the right time, making special attention to the key things to remember.

Hi, my name is Joni, I am from Finland but have been living in N. Ireland past 20 years. I teach Finnish part-time and at the moment only online.
Qualifications & Experience
MA, University of Helsinki, 2006. Main subject: Finnish Language. Qualified teacher, teaching Finnish as a foreign language.
Teaching Approach
Easy peasy but tough enough. To learn Finnish you will have to get some basic grammar in to you but do not worry, I will make it easier for you! We will talk a lot and you gonna get some homework but you will learn Finnish with me. I am using a certain book series to give clear structure for learning but I can supply all the material needed for lessons. I also use some specific techniques that help you to learn and memorize language better. It's fun, believe me!
Hei, nimeni on Joni, olen suomalainen mutta asunut Pohjois-Irlannissa viimeiset 20 vuotta. Opetan suomen kieltä sivutoimisesti ja tällä hetkellä vain verkossa.
Qualifications & Experience
Filosofian maisteri 2006, Helsingin yliopisto, pääaine suomen kieli. Opettajan pätevyyteen vaadittavat kasvatustieteenopinnot suoritettu sivuaineena.
Teaching Approach
Kieltä oppii parhaiten puhumalla. Keskusteluntutkimus on oma erikoisalue, ja S2- sektori eli suomi toisena- ja vieraana kielenä.
