It all depends on the subjects taught, but I teach with different kinds of materials and ideas. Naturally, I use various media resources available in this day and age.
As online teaching might suffer from latency, I tend to focus mainly on dialogue-like playing going back and forth instead of trying to play together. For actual live playing, I can provide additional audio resources for the student to learn by themselves.
I want to help my students learn as effectively as they can without relying eternally on teachers to keep on learning things. I believe music is a discovery one must do for themselves as well and teachers can provide tools and support in that process.

About Me
My name is Arttu. I am a 31-year-old Finnish native speaker with fluency in English. In addition to Finland, I have lived in the UK for 3 years where I did my Bachelor's degree.
My interests are music, painting, audiobooks, exercise, learning new things, and various games. I also enjoy conversing with people from various cultures and have traveled to many countries over the past years.
My hope here is to find good and long-lasting relationships with students whom I can see learning, growing, and enjoying their time learning.
In general, my method is quite dynamic, flexible, and goal-oriented. I am very flexible and listen to my students on their goals. I am prepared to research how to develop as a teacher and how to meet my students' goals best. I provide material to help my students improve independently between lessons (optional homework).
In English, I use a specific coursebook series which is also designed for self-study, but I do implement some additional materials for learning such as Preply content, lesson PDFs, and audio files from external sources according to students' individual needs.
In the Finnish language, I use multiple different textbooks and audio which provide learning and practice for the written word as well as the spoken language. I implement materials found online as well. There are varying ways to meet the goals of students, and thus the specifics of these methods should be applied individually.

I do not have a formal graduate degree in teaching, but I believe my prior experience as a tutor compensates for this lack. I have over 10 years of past teaching experience as a music teacher and additional experience as a substitute teacher as well. I have taught privately, in big classes, and in kindergarten as well. Agewise, I have taught children and adults from ages 4 to 55.

I do not have a formal graduate degree in teaching, but I place a high value on all forms of learning a language (listening, speaking, reading & writing) and I believe my prior experience as a tutor compensates for this lack. I have years of past teaching experience as a music teacher and a substitute teacher. I have taught individually, in big classes, and in kindergarten as well.
