I'm Sarah Mattila, one of the teachers.
I work as a university teacher of English at the Language Centre at Åbo Akademi University in Turku, Finland. I've worked here for about five years now. Before this, I spent about 10 years working as an upper secondary school teacher in the capital region. Right now, I really enjoy my job and I'm very excited about this new course. Sustainability is such an important and interesting topic and being able to offer students the opportunity to be involved in international collaboration projects is something I've been striving for for a while.
When it comes to Finland, my home country, I love the fact that we have such diverse seasons. With everything that's going on in the world, I also appreciate the fact that I can feel safe in my country. A third thing I love about Finland is the fact that this is where most of my family and friends live.
I guess a fun or weird fact about me could be that I really enjoy heavy-metal music. :)
I'm looking forward to working with you and getting to know you better during the course!
