Jag har studerat pedagogik och svenska som andraspråk för lärare vid Lunds universitet och har sedan 2018 undervisat svenska från A1 till C2 nivån.
Jag är född och uppvuxen i Helsingfors, Finland i en tvåspråkigt och mångkulturell familj. Jag flyttade från Finland direkt efter gymnasiet och har sedan dess bott i Malmö men jag har också bott och arbetat under kortare perioder i England, Nederländerna, Danmark och Grekland.
Jag har rest en hel del i Mellanöstern som student vid Lunds Universitet. Att lära sig ett nytt språk är inte lätt. Det är mycket fokus på grammatik och ordkunskap. Jag vill att språkinlärningen ska vara både lustfyllt och roligt och ge resultat!
