Ayaha Iiris Sato
@ayahaiirissato
Finnish language teacher and content creator—helping international learners master A0–B2 skills through online lessons and video lectures.
FinlandWhat I'm looking for
I have been working as a Finnish teacher since 2022, teaching international students both on campus and online. At Edunation, I teach Finnish (levels A0–A2) and also support learners through private online lessons (levels A0–B2).
I teach immigrant adults who plan to study at a university in Finland or build careers in Finland. My work includes grading, and I bring a structured approach to making Finnish feel understandable and usable from day one.
Alongside my teaching, I work as a freelance Finnish Language Teacher for private clients worldwide. I have taught over 1000 lessons to more than 90 students, tailoring instruction to individual needs and learning pace.
I also create video lectures and online learning materials, including Finnish courses on Udemy (6 published courses). I use Canva, Gamma, and Zoom to create engaging lessons, and I’m currently delivering customized online Finnish lessons for international professionals relocating to Finland.
