The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.

Clases Español:
Hola muy buenas, soy estudiante universitario en España y estoy en Helsinki durante un tiempo. Soy Español y Canadiense por lo que soy nativo en ambos idiomas (español e inglés). Toda mi vida he hablado ambos idiomas y en España doy clases de Inglés por lo que tengo experiencia. Me sé adaptar a cualquier nivel ya que he estado en esa posición a lo largo de mi vida. Estoy dispuesto a dar clases tanto en persona como online, también puedo dar clases tanto individuales como grupales.

Spanish classes:
Hello, I'm a university student in Spain and I am in Helsinki for a while. I am Spanish and Canadian so I am native in both languages (Spanish and English). All my life I've spoken both languages and in Spain I teach English, so I have experience teaching. I know how to adapt to any level as I have been in that position throughout my life. I am willing to give classes both in person and online,

Espanjan tunnit:
Olen yliopisto-opiskelija Espanjassa ja olen Helsingissä jonkin aikaa. Olen espanjalainen ja kanadalainen, joten puhun äidinkielenäni molempia kieliä (espanjaa ja englantia). Koko elämäni olen puhunut molempia kieliä ja Espanjassa opetan englantia, joten minulla on kokemusta molemmista kielistä. Osaan sopeutua mihin tahansa tasoon, koska olen ollut siinä asemassa koko elämäni ajan. Olen valmis antamaan tunteja sekä henkilökohtaisesti että verkossa, voin myös antaa yksilö- ja ryhmätunteja.

Kiitos ja toivon, että voimme parantaa espanjan kielen yhdessä.

I am a dedicated young woman, who longs to share her knowledge and love for the Spanish language through teaching. With a warm and patient personality, I seek to inspire my students by searching for innovative and entertaining methods.

TL;DR: If you're preparing for the Digital SAT and need guidance, I'm here to help. I scored 1540 (750 in English, 790 in Math) and am currently studying Quantum Technology at Aalto University on a scholarship.

Here's everything you need to know:

About Me
I’m currently a first-year bachelor’s student at the School of Science in Aalto University, where I secured a highly competitive full-tuition scholarship thanks to my SAT score (1540: Math 790, English 750). I’ve been an SAT tutor for over a year now, teaching both group classes and one-on-one sessions. In total, I’ve helped more than 70 students reach their SAT goals. Back in Bangladesh, I worked as an SAT instructor at Mentors' and developed the SAT teaching curriculum at Noetic. With this experience under my belt, I’ve designed a teaching method that’s effective, flexible, and, most importantly, tailored to you.

How My Classes Work
The SAT is all about finding patterns and mastering the "game". My classes are structured to help you do exactly that. In each class, I will teach you some theoretical basics first and then make you go through some actual SAT problems related to those basics. It's not about me showing you how to solve, rather it's about making you capable to think like a 1500+ scorer. In the process, I'll observe your thought process and give feedback on where you are going wrong and what you doing right. Sounds impressive?

Duration: Each class is 1.5 hours.
Preferred Schedule: After 6 PM (but we can discuss).
Class Options: Online (Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams) or in-person (either at Aalto University, my place, or yours (applicable for Espoo and Helsinki)).

Why Choose Me?
Sure, there are tons of SAT prep courses out there. But when you hit a wall or feel like your progress has plateaued, that’s where I come in. You'll choose me because —
a) I have a high score, so I know how to crack this.
b) I have taken the SAT on Oct, 2023 and since then taught more than 70 students all over the world. So, I am updated with the curriculum and process.
c) I am already studying in a reputed university with scholarship leveraging my SAT score. So, I can guide through the admission process (be it in Europe or US) as well.
d) I am a no bullshit guy. If you need 2/3 classes only, that's fine. If you need 20 classes, that's also fine. I am here to make money but not to exploit. So, I offer huge flexibility.

I’ll help you:
Identify the SAT’s patterns and tricks.
Focus on your weak areas while leveraging your strengths.
Understand the nuances of scoring 1500+.
Navigate college admissions (both in the U.S. and Europe).

Plus, if you’re up for it, you’ll get free life advice and philosophical discussions along the way. (Yes, seriously.)

What My Students Say
A lot of my students start off feeling stuck and overwhelmed but end up feeling confident and in control. They’ve told me that my approach is not just practical and effective, but surprisingly enjoyable too! The SAT isn’t just a test—it’s a challenge you can conquer with the right mindset and strategies.

Ready to Get Started?

With over 3 years of teaching experience, a CPE certificate, and CELTA training in progress, I focus on helping learners gain confidence in both conversation and academic communication. We’ll work on speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, and writing, using real-life topics and texts.

Before I began writing professionally, I spent over three years traveling across Europe, which gave me a deep understanding of how English functions in real-world, multicultural settings.

# Course set-up

I can help you in the preparation of italian language tests, exams or certifications in speaking or writing practice. I will guide you during your italian learning journey, focusing on a way of learning that fit your needs the most (real language use versus test preparation)!

Before we set up our lectures, I will likely ask you some questions to clarify your current situation, needs and goals. If you have any weaknesses you would like to address, mention them and I will prepare for that! After every lecture, I will take notes of what we did and prepare a schedule for an eventual next lecture! If you have any suggested activity for our lectures, feel free to ask!
The lecture structure is very free and customizable, depending on your needs. We will discuss more about this before scheduling our first lecture and especially during the first lecture.

We will both use digital resources and digital italian textbooks to assist your learning. You don't need to obtain your own resources, but if you have some you need help with, feel free to share! Based on your needs, I will prepare some exercises that we can do together during lectures. You can also propose your own exercises and we can do them together during or in part of the lectures!

Questions are always very welcomed and even encouraged, both outside and inside lectures! Being the guy that always asks stupid questions in class: there are no stupid questions. Questions that might look stupid to others could be the ones that allow you to finally grasp a concept and make everything clear. Everybody has a different learning style, and that's fine.

# Lecture modality

The lessons are thought to be primarly via Zoom or Google Meet.
However, if you live in near Helsinki and you prefer face-to-face lectures, we can book a public room somewhere and have our lessons there! Feel free to book more than one hour in the same day, although I wouldn't recommend more than two hours of language learning in a row.

I am a mother-tongue Italian living in Helsinki, currently doing my Ph.D. in Finland. I have a classical and historical studies background and this course will be open to every level of knowledge. I will use different approaches according to the preferences and skills of the student. All the aspect of language and culture will be covered, including the history of Italy and of the Ancient Rome.
