About Me
italki teacher since May 18, 2020 Hi! I'm Satu and I'm a nearly graduated language teacher from Finland. I've been a passionate language-learner since I was a child, and I've done a lot of self-studying in addition to studying languages in school and now in university. I speak Finnish, English, French, Japanese, Swedish and a little Russian. I've also traveled a lot and I'm always excited to share travel experiences with my students.
In addition to traveling, I'm very interested in all kinds of games (boardgames, videogames, tabletop - you name it) and different types of arts and crafts. I also enjoy talking about movies, psychology and animals, and often incorporate these themes into my lessons in some way.
I have one year of experience teaching English and French on lower and upper secondary levels, which includes teaching online. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree (English and French language, culture and translation) and I’m currently doing my Master’s.
When it comes to my teacher persona, I am a kind, open-minded person - not at all like your worst fear of a super-reserved, cold Finn. That said, I'm still a Finn! ;)
Here are the platforms that I find have the best features for teaching: Teams, Zoom, Big Blue Button
I also use Discord, Jitsi meet (also instances available in China), Cisco Webex, FaceTime.
PS: I also teach kids and have experience teaching young children.
I'm very versatile - I'll teach you how you want to be taught, be it conversationally, lectures, specific methods (flipped classroom...My teaching material
