Finland is a fantastic place to work. The people are friendly, the air is clean, the landscape is wonderful. The food is good, the infrastructure is good. Helsinki is fantastic. The shopping is fantastic and the customer service brilliant.
Helsinki also has a beach which is fantastic in the summer and you can swim in the sea. Winter can be very cold.
Get a job before you go because Finns are very thorough and pensive and getting a job isn’t fast. There is quite a strong cultural difference between Finns and most other European peoples, namely their way of interacting with people. Finns are rather quiet people, who do not give their opinions at the drop of a hat, and therefore conversation classes with Finnish students can be very challenging, especially for teachers new to the country. Finnish people do not tend to say anything unless they feel there is actually something worth saying, which can be disconcerting to people from countries where silence is considered something to be filled. North Americans have difficulties with this, Brits maybe less so. Once you get used to the way Finns communicate and adapt your teaching strategies to this you will find a very nice bunch of students once you get to know them. They also mainly want to practice talking English rather than doing grammar, which makes them very laid-back compared to students of some other nationalities. Since they have mostly had English for years and years at school and watch programmes on TV in English their problem is mainly speaking rather than receptive skills, as they don't get much chance to practice with English-speakers. Quite often they will be satisfied with merely talking in their lessons (if you can get the knack of getting them to talk, that is).
For example, a beer can cost £3, a Vodka and orange £5, cigarettes are the same as in Britain.
Food here in Finland is great - the Finns have a traditional food for just about every occasion! They are healthy people, eating a hot meal daily for lunch. The is also very good! They eat alot of breads, salads, berries and porridges. An example meal is mashed potato, reindeer meat and berries.

Finns are very active people too! They are always riding, walking, skiing, anything and everything to be outside! Even if it is cold they just put on another layer! The weather can be bitterly cold in winter, down to at least -30 degrees centigrade. The quality of clothing here is very good and if you dress correctly it is not cold. The housing is so warm you don't even notice the weather until you step outside. All flats have central heating, if you're lucky you'll have your own sauna, but if not there are usually saunas in the basement. Public buildings are also very hot. Winter is cold, but not a windy rainy kind of weather just like the inside of a freezer! It gets down to minus 30 and it really isn't as cold as it sounds! The Finns are very reserved so you must be prepared for long silences. This because they're thinking and want to get the answer correct. The Finns are perfectionists in what they do - extremely intelligent, philosophical and gentle. They'll spot a fake teacher a 100 miles away, so polish up on the tricky grammar points before you go. Although they will stare at you with their pale blue eyes, they're extremely friendly. They just don't express themselves with huge gestures and facial expressions. If you're British, you'll wonder why foreigners ever called you 'reserved'. Overall, Finland is a wonderful, clean and friendly place to teach.
