Hei, minä olen Malka.

Finnish language teacher.

My name is Malka Gotthilf. I specialize in YKI coaching and Finnish language teaching. I have been teaching Finnish for several years in colleges around Jyväskylä and my own private lessons. Currently I’m working at the university of Aalto in Helsinki.

When it comes to my teaching content I can easily find the teaching methods the student needs and I have quite a bunch of completely my own materials, which are based on creative teaching. My goal is to create a comfortable, fun and effective learning experience.

Educational background

6/2021 Master of Arts

University of Jyväskylä, Finland

Studies gave me keys to acquiring, processing, analyzing, and utilizing information in my own work. My thesis about translation reinforced those skills. I acquired additional skills e.g. in 2019 when participating in the Erasmus+ project on creative teaching in Romania.

6/2018 Bachelor of Arts

University of Jyväskylä, Finland

I was on a student exchange at St. Petersburg State University in Russia and at the University of Greifswald in Germany. I completed a bachelor’s degree in film production at the Lenfilm Film School in St. Petersburg. In my dissertation, I researched a marketing campaign of Volkswagen.
