I’m excited to share that I have officially completed the Practical Teacher Training (IPTE, 60 ECTS) program at Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK), Finland! 🎉
As part of this journey, I designed and delivered an 8-week university course titled
“Python for Data Analytics & Statistics” at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences.
This experience allowed me to merge educational theory with hands-on teaching, while applying student-centred, inclusive, and feedback-rich learning approaches in a real classroom setting.

💬 Special Thanks
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the support of:
Janne Salonen, my supervising teacher at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, whose guidance, feedback, and encouragement were instrumental throughout my teaching journey.
Vesa Parkkonen, my tutor teacher at HAMK, for his thoughtful mentoring and for bridging the connection between pedagogical theory and practical implementation.
Your belief in my work made this learning experience not only successful but deeply meaningful. 🙏

👨‍🏫 What This Means
With this milestone, I am now a certified teacher in the Finnish higher education system. I’ve gained first-hand experience in course design, student engagement, and digital pedagogy—with practical tools like Jupyter, GitHub, and Kahoot integrated into my curriculum.
Whether in academia or industry education, I’m now even more prepared to contribute to impactful, learner-focused programs.
