I started the writing course with Tareque because I hadn’t yet received the results of my YKI test and I wasn’t feeling confident about my performance. I had already registered for a new test and decided to prepare more seriously.
About halfway through the course, I received my results — and I had passed. Instead of stopping the lessons, I suggested that we shift the focus and use the remaining sessions to further develop my Finnish, especially my speaking skills.
Tareque was completely open and flexible. He immediately adapted the plan and redesigned the lessons to focus on conversation and fluency. We had four sessions fully dedicated to speaking practice, confidence building, and real-life communication.
The lessons were always very pleasant and natural — more like structured conversations, with constant, practical feedback on how to improve clarity, confidence, and expression.
Tareque is a very positive and efficient teacher. He is clearly committed to his students’ progress and genuinely cares about their development. What stood out to me was his ability to adapt the teaching approach to the student’s needs, even mid-course.
I highly recommend Tareque, and I’m very grateful for the time we spent working together. I learned a lot — and it truly felt like a valuable exchange.
It's very useful and supportive document for the person who doesn't know where to start for YKI test. Thank you.
Thanks for the structure. It is useful for me.
It was good to see how the yki test is conducted and what they ask on it.
We saw a lot of vocabulary together, and now I have to memorise them.
Lauri has a lot of patience.
Kiitos paljon Lauri :)
I could not pass the writing part even after trying 10 times. After Tareque's writing course, I finally passed the writing part on my next attempt.
handy material; thank you very much 🙏🙏
He puts more thought and consideration into his teachings, focusing on one's weaknesses and grammatical explanations.
The lessons were good steps towards yki test preparation.
Thank you
It is a good and helful material.
