Frequently asked questions

Who is Hanna Huovari?

Hanna Huovari is a private Finnish and Spanish language teacher based in Tampere, Finland. She is a native Finnish speaker, a registered practical nurse since 2004, and a Finnish language student at Tampere University. She runs Kielenrauhaa, an online language school for adult learners.

What is Kielenrauhaa?

Kielenrauhaa is a private language teaching business founded by Hanna Huovari, offering online Finnish and Spanish lessons, YKI exam preparation, and small-group courses. The name combines the Finnish words kieli (language) and rauha (peace) and reflects the calm, low-pressure approach to language learning Hanna uses with her students.

Does Hanna teach Finnish online?

Yes. All Kielenrauhaa lessons and courses are taught online via Zoom. Students can join from anywhere in the world.

Does Hanna prepare students for the YKI test?

Yes. YKI preparation is one of Kielenrauhaa's main specialisms. Hanna offers preparation courses for all levels of the Yleinen kielitutkinto — basic (A2), intermediate (B1–B2, YKI 3–4), and advanced (C1–C2) — covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

Can Hanna teach Finnish in English or Spanish?

Yes. Hanna teaches in Finnish, English, or Spanish depending on the student's level and preference. Beginner learners typically start with English or Spanish as the support language and gradually shift to Finnish as their skills grow.

What makes Kielenrauhaa different from a large language school?

Small group sizes (usually six seats), individually tailored lesson plans, direct personal feedback in every session, and a teacher who combines academic Finnish linguistics with real working experience in Finnish healthcare.

How do I book a lesson?

Visit the Yhteydenotto / Contact page, or message Hanna directly via WhatsApp. New students typically start with a short consultation to set goals and find the right level.
