Education and employment
Finnish language teaching
Kompassi offers two different levels of non-stop Finnish language lessons to study the structures of the Finnish language (for beginners and more advanced).
The levels of the lessons are defined by Kompassi itself. They do not directly correspond to official language proficiency levels.
In addition to non-stop lessons, we offer Finnish language development and strengthening groups led by Kompassi’s volunteers.
Finnish language lessons and groups offered by Kompassi are open to everyone and free of charge. You don’t need to register for them. All teachings take place at Kompassi.
Nonstop lessons are taught by Finnish language teacher Satu Nummi
