I am a trained subject teacher for primary school and primarily teach English and beginner-level Japanese. In private tutoring, in addition to languages, I also teach other academic subjects. I offer private lessons and customized ”personal study trainer” packages tailored to your situation and needs.
- At the primary school level, we often focus on learning by playing and doing. We also go through some study techniques while tackling learning difficulties.
- At the vocational school or high school level, we work on study strategies and ways to make learning easier. We often prep for the Finnish matriculation examination or university entrance exams.
- At the university level, we incorporate conversation exercises, different learning styles, and academic writing into our sessions.

If you think I can support you in your studies, feel free to contact me by email at laura@valmistatuli.fi. In your message, describe what kind of support you need. You can also submit a contact request via a separate form.
Everything starts with a free 30–45-minute consultation (online or in person), where we create a plan that suits you. This meeting does not commit you to anything.
