Ella Leppänen (Tutor)

Specialization: Early Childhood Development, Ethics and Swedish Language

Learning is a process where you gradually built up your skills and connect them to your previous knowledge. I think that when you step out of your comfort zone, you will achieve something amazing! Everyone can develop their knowledge and at the same time challenge themselves to the next level.

Learning is beneficial for the future and it is never useless. Tutoring sessions help you achieve your goals in the right pace and provide the help you need.

Gautier Baudry (Tutor)

Specialization: Biology and Mathematics

I've never been a fan of the idea that people have innate features that determine whether or not a person is good at mathematics, languages or any other subject. It is my firm belief that anyone can learn anything, as long as the subject is presented in the right context and the learner has the interest to learn.

The true goal of a tutor is to inspire genuine interest in learning that reaches beyond grades and tests.

Minna-Maria Karonen (Tutor)

Specialization: Physical Education, Special Education and Swedish Language

My motto is ”hard work beats talent” and that goes for everything. Life is all about gaining knowledge and skills. And one of the most important factors in efficient learning is interaction. We can all learn from one another and everyone has their own way and strategies to learn.

I believe that tutoring sessions can really lead the way to success! The more you practise, the better you become. And if you have someone constantly helping you on your way, giving some tips and challenging your thoughts, learning processes can become fun, efficient and interesting!

Anna Lehtonen (Tutor)

In my view learning is something that should be fun and motivating. This way it creates a base for lifelong learning. With the right attitude and hard work everything is possible. I think it is important to have a mindset where you acknowledge growth and possibilities to always learn more!

With the help of tutoring you can find your own strengths and develop your skills on areas you need help. With individualized theme based learning I believe learning will be exiting and joyful and most importantly it can make a base for lifelong learning.

Sanni Hongisto (Tutor)

Specialization: Digital Teaching and Learning, Ethics

As humans we all have unique traits to us. What interests me is how differently we can learn. Knowing your strengths is a skill we definitely want to achieve. Us as educators have the opportunity to help find those personal learning strengths and utilize them while approaching new learning situations. Good communication helps serve that purpose and hopefully make challenging situations easier to encounter.

Confidence and motivation are key terms when it comes to learning challenges. Understanding that learning is a life-long process is a huge part of that positive learning mindset. I want to focus on finding efficient ways to motivate and make learning fun and trendy.

Sofia Varjo (Tutor)

Success inspires you to learn and through learning you can achieve success. It’s a simple formula that can be sparked by inspiring teaching and individual encountering. When the feeling of competence strengthens, the motivation to learn increases, fostering self-direction and positive self-image.

The aim of tutoring sessions is to help achieve success in those areas where moving forward needs some support and encouragement. Let's make learning something new, an addictive and exciting experience together!
