Master’s Degree in Education, Finland

After moving to Finland in 2013, I completed a Master’s degree in Education and obtained a certified teaching qualification, authorizing me to teach Finnish and Russian languages.

Highest YKI Testi Level (Level 6 / CEFR C2)

As a non-native speaker, I learned Finnish outside Finland and achieved the highest YKI level. I relocated to Finland in 2013 with C2 proficiency.


In 2021, as a teacher preparing students for the intermediate YKI testi, I personally took the intermediate level exam to stay closely connected to the exam format and experience the same process my students go through.

Master’s Degree in Finnish Language, Russia

I graduated in 2008 from Petrozavodsk State University (Russia) with a Master’s degree in Finnish language studies. My qualification includes training as a Finnish language teacher and translator.
