      I have been doing Finnish with Tommi for about a month, at least once a week. English is my native language and I have been exposed to Finnish intermittently with apps for a few months and with a native speaker for 1 year and a half. The only concept I understood well was 'olla'. Since I started taking the lessons with Tommi and took learning Finnish more seriously last month, I noticed that my pronunciation is slowly getting better and I am able to read and understand Finnish a little bit better as well. I would definitely recommend Tommi to anyone that has an interest in learning the Finnish language.

      Tommi is an excellent tutor! The lessons really help me grow and progress with my basic level Finnish. I get to speak a lot in the lessons, which is great as I’d like to increase my confidence in speaking. I especially appreciate his patience, and it makes me feel safe in the lessons!

      Unfortunately never got to have session with Tommi. I paid for a trial lesson, he initially claimed he was too busy and then later too sick and then too busy again to even have the session. He didn’t really seem enthusiastic about going forward with the session.
