Meet Your Online Finnish Teacher
About me
My name is Hanna Männikkölahti, and I’m a professional Finnish teacher based in Jyväskylä, Finland. I have a master’s degree from the University of Jyväskylä, and I’ve been teaching Finnish since 2001.
Over the years, I’ve worked in schools, summer courses, and university settings. Today, I work as a full-time entrepreneur, teaching private online Finnish lessons to students around the world. I truly enjoy the flexibility and personal connection online teaching allows.
My work with the Finnish language
In addition to private lessons, I adapt novels and non-fiction books into easy Finnish, give lectures and workshops on easy Finnish, write a blog called Random Finnish Lesson, teach intensive courses, assess the YKI exams and organize workshop weekends for fellow Finnish teachers. In 2021, I was honored to be named Finnish Teacher of the Year.
My Life Outside Teaching
I am married and have two teenagers (currently aged 13 and 15). Our home is bilingual and we speak both Finnish and English daily.
In my free time, I enjoy singing in a choir, staying active through regular exercise, and studying languages.

Study Finnish with a Private Online Teacher
With a private Finnish teacher, you can study exactly what you want and need, using materials tailored to your goals and level.
I teach via Google Meet or Zoom, using Google Docs to take notes and share materials with my students. My teaching hours are typically from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM Finnish time (Eastern European Time, UTC+2 in winter / UTC+3 in summer), with additional evening lessons on Thursdays. In-person study is available in Jyväskylä and occasionally in Helsinki.
Payments can be made via online banking, Wise, or PayPal. I don’t charge for cancelled lessons. Check with your employer to see if they reimburse lesson fees. My business ID is 2198670-2.
