I am a teacher from Finland (with M.A. degrees in both philosophy and history, plus a lot of other studies under my proverbial belt), and TFF - Teacher From Finland is my Youtube channel, where I will be posting videos about the subjects I am qualified to teach. They will form "courses", based mostly on the Finnish national curriculum and books used at Finnish "senior highschools", and of course my own education. I may also make videos about the Finnish system of education, or education in general. This website will function as a list of (planned) contents for my videos (and possible related materials).

You may follow my Facebook page, where I post mostly "memes", and notifications when I have published new videos: https://www.facebook.com/jouni.vilkka.
I also have been writing a blog at https://jounivilkka.blogspot.com/ (part of the content is in Finnish, but I will be mostly writing in English from now on).

Planned courses

Courses based on the Finnish national curriculum include the code the course is known by, such as FI1. The titles of the courses are in some cases also translated (by me) from those given in the Finnish curriculum (with a better title by me in parentheses).

*Courses and videos marked with an asterisk go clearly beyond the national curriculum.
