PEPPI KAUPPILA

"This woman is an amazing person - so calm, communicative, pleasant, and talented. You can talk to her in many ways and she is always trying to give you the best option for you. I asked Peppi for help with a work-interview in German language. We used a Skype call. She was very well prepared, skillful, and motivating. If I had some problem to understand, she used promptly another way. She is also a great supporter and I am really thankful for her time and passion for teaching"

"Peppi proved to be a highly skilled and empathetic teacher! We were super nervous before the lessons, but she was able to teach efficiently nevertheless. Her language skills provide our multicultural family a great safety net in Finland!"

"Thank you, Peppi! Your lessons were interesting! You always tried to find different options that I understood the subject. I recommend Peppi as a good and professional Finnish language teacher."

"Peppi Kauppila has successfully participated in the Estonian language level C1 course at the university of Tartu in the autumn and spring semesters of 2017-2018. During the course I noticed that Kauppila is enthusiastic about the Estonian language. In addition, she can use her good language skills (Finnish, Finnish dialects, German) to deepen her understanding of the Estonian language and culture. A few very interesting discussions arose on Peppi’s initiative."

"When speaking with Peppi, I can forget that Estonian is not her native language. So smoothly and fluently speaks she! I admire her commitment to languages ​​and I am grateful that Peppi cherishes Estonian language and culture in hear heart."

"Just six months ago I couldn't have believed to able to to study at a university in Finnish! Now it's possible, all thanks to Peppi! I’m very happy with how our lessons are structured. My goal was to have intensive lessons with challenging vocabulary and practice speaking a lot. I felt like you listened to my needs and adjusted to them accordingly. Especially I like that articles that we are reading and videos that we are watching are on topics that are interesting and raise questions for engaging discussions. So, it’s not only reading to learn language and words, but learning about people and society. Kiitos!"

"Her lessons are always relaxed and informal. She is very patient and waits quietly until I have found the answer. She always gives me very good advice. She accepts her students wholeheartedly and always creates a gentle and friendly atmosphere. Of course, she knows the language and how to teach it, and she makes sure that the students get what they need. I take my lessons via Skype and she uses the screen-sharing function to show me the material and also sends me materials for self-study at home. Above all, she has a very nice personality and makes the private lessons completely stress-free!"

"I like the one-to-one tuition very much. I want to understand well and learn to hold conversations. That's why I think it's particularly nice that we talk a lot. So, I can slowly get used to the normal speaking pace. The amount and difficulty of homework will fit well with the time I can invest on it. I think it's nice that we discuss our homework well. This way I can learn based on my mistakes and it is easier for me to memorize the grammar and the vocabulary. It's never boring. I can say what interests me and you are always very well prepared.

If an appointment is not possible, I don't have to skip it, but can, as an exception, postpone it to another day. As a result, I have Finnish every week and I don't forget that quickly. I really appreciate this flexibility. Thank you for your commitment. I am very happy that I can take lessons from you."
