I'm Antti, a fourth year student of electrical engineering. I should be tutoring you next autumn and a part of the spring too. I have not yet been exchange student but I'm trying to arrange things for the next summer and maybe I am gonna find myself from Japan at summer 2008. (hope to find :D). But to the point -> Welcome to Finland. I can promise you that there is going to be lots of nice events (..and booze), great atmosphere and so on(..and booze). If you have something in mind, dont hesitate ask, I'll be more than glad to familiarise you with habits of the land of thousand lakes and it's strange people :).

This is my 5th year as a tutor. I had a lot of fun during my ERASMUS year in Germany and I hope you all will have great time here in Tampere. If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

Heipä hei! Hello! Salut!
I'm Emmi, a fifth year student at the departement of science and technology. I will be one of your tutors next year. Last year I was studing in Quebec, Canada. So now I speak French besides English, Finnish and Swedish. In the evenings you can find me likely in the swimming hall: I like to swim and I am also teaching swimming to children. I wish (and I am sure that) you will have a great year here in Finland! If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them.
See you soon in Tampere!
Emmi Heinonen
Hi!
My name is Essi and i'll be helping you out as one of the international tutors this year. This will be only my second year in Tampere since I started my architecture studies in Germany and transferred to TUT after 4 years last fall. Originally I'm from Helsinki, so i'd be happy to give you some advice if you are thinking about visiting our capital. I'm looking forward meeting you all (especially Germans to keep up with my language skills) and hopefully i'll find also some salsa dancers among you!
Have a great time in Finland!
Essi Wallenius
Huh!
I'm Hannu, one of the crazy finnish tutors to guide you through the best year of your life! During my ERASMI I learned kampai, cin cin, prost, salut, nastrawje, salute, skål, prosit, bottoms up with some other vital procedures. Now it's my turn to pay back! I'm more than happy to be part of our unique group and help you with all possible situations. This includes everything from the studies into preparing liquids as cheap as possible!
If you are interested more in studies than cultural experiences, my main is Information and Knowledge Management but I've studied almost everything possible in these last 3 years.
My advise for your exchange is the same as you've probably heard million times already, and which I used as a reference in my own year abroad:
Don't drink more than your stomach can handle, and when you do, try to survive out of the toilet at least before the place is closed.
Hope to see you soon,
Hannu Aalto
Morjens!
I'm Heikki and I'm happy to welcome you all to Tampere. I was an exchange student last year, and I would not change away that year from any price! It was so great to meet new people all over the world: Finland (yes!), Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Venezuela so on. I am certain that you will do the same and spend a really special year here in Tampere in Finland!
Oh, yeah. I can also try to answer any questions that you might have :) Don't hesitate. Otherwise, CU soon.
Mr. Heikki Simperi
Moi!
I'm Henri, one of your tutors this year. I am a year four student in the institute of automation and control and have some experience as an exchange student already.

Even though it's quite cold in Finland the athmosphere in our school is warm. Should you have any enquiries don't hesitate to ask me, I will help you willingly.
See you soon in Tampere!

I was an international tutor the last year and had so much good time I haven’t found a way to stop Actually I’ve done all my courses in our University and work full time in Hyvinkää. Still, I come to Tampere for the international events and would like to get to know as many of you as possible.
I have studied year 2005/2006 in INPG in France so speaking French is no problem. I also started Spanish studies (and had nice practice in parties the last year) and would like to improve my skills if you want to help me with that.
As my hobbies I do as much sports as possible. During summers I do sailing, windsurfing and mtb. During winters snowboarding and skiing. Last year I had international friends snowboarding and skiing with me. If you are interested of these, don’t hesitate to contact. Parties you can do everywhere but cross-country skiing only in Finland :D

Welcome to Finland!! You have made a good choice and I promise you will have a lot of fun in Tampere!!
My name is Sari and I am happy to introduce myself as one of your tutors. I am starting now my sixth year as a student of biomedical engineering. I am doing my master in Medical Electronics and minors of Languages and Electronics. During my free time I like dancing samba, salsa and reggeaton. I also like watching movies and just spending time with my friends, and of course I love going to the parties.( :
I have been studying three years at Tampere and two years abroad. First I spent a year in Mexico, in Queretaro and now since last September I have been studying in The Netherlands, in Delft. Those two years have been the most exciting and fun years of my life. I am sure you will have the same exciting experience during your exchange year in Finland!
Unfortunately I cannot join you during the introduction week, because I am still working in the Netherlands, but you can always send me e-mail if you have any questions in your mind. I will try to answer you in Spanish or in English.
See you soon and enjoy your last moments of summer vacation!
Sari Ahokas
Moi, miten menee?
Hey, how are you doing ;)
My name is Sakke (Japanese drink is close enough) and I’m 25 years old good looking guy from Finland. I already managed to graduate from TUT this June, after studying 5 years in the institute of Information and Knowledge management. But I didn't want to quit the student life just yet, so I joined the jolly group of tutor fellows. The last year of my studies I spent in Hong Kong and although it brought me to near financial bankruptcy, I wouldn't change the experience for anything in the world, except perhaps for 2 years in exchange…
Although my weekly timetable might be a bit less flexible since I'm working full time now, I try to help you out and arrange all kinds of activities during your stay to make it even more unforgettable. If you happen to be interested in outdoor activities like fishing, hunting, hiking, skeet shooting, canoeing, skiing etc. like I am, for all of which Finland offers perfect setting, or even if you aren't just yet, don't hesitate to contact me since I'd be glad to try to arrange you some unforgettable experiences. Or perhaps just for basic stuff and to the club, preferably during weekends. Also if you have any other problems or questions or anything at all, we'll try to help you out.
Sakari Timonen

My name is Touko Apajalahti, a 6th year student in the department of Science and Engineering here at TUT, majoring in biological physics.

Moro,
I'm Ville, 6th year student of automation technology. This is my 2nd year when I'll be tutoring international students - the first I liked much so I saw no need to stop. I've spent one schoolyear in France (EFPG, Grenoble) as an ERASMUS student so I also like to communicate in french when possible. I count martial arts, music and participating to every kind of activities around the school as my hobbies. I'd like to recommend you a lot possible events during the semesters - international sauna parties, food parties, LoveBoats, cottage trips, ice-hole swimming in Kaupinoja etc. That's worth it to try all these different events. See you all soon!
