Finnish language guidance

Individual Finnish language guidance is aimed especially at the needs of academic studies and working life. An individual Finnish language counselling session can only be offered to undergraduate and postgraduate students and staff of the University of Turku whose native language is not Finnish.

The tutoring is intended for people who already have a fairly good level of Finnish (starting from level B1) and who find it difficult to find individual Finnish language tuition that matches their level.
