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.

The price for a 45-minute private Finnish lesson is €112 (VAT 25.5% included). I don’t charge for cancelled lessons. Invoices are sent after every three lessons, and payments can be made via online banking, Wise, or PayPal. Ask your employer if they cover lesson fees! My VAT number is 2198670-2.
