introduction of tutors

The more important faces in terms of starting their studies, such as board members and officials, come next. This section introduces your future tutors by name and face. When the autumn comes, the fresher will be divided into fresher groups and each group will have its own tutor, but of course in case of problems, each tutor will help in the same way.

Rachel Sutanto

Hi there! I'm Rachel, a second-year Mechanical Engineering Bachelor's student. I'm Singaporean, but also spent quite a bit of time in Germany, so I can speak English and (mispronounced) German. SEA gang represent! Studying in Finland - and in LUT specifically - has been a wonderful, eye-opening experience for me! The quiet of a small city compared to where I'd lived was a lovely change and the proximity of the city to various nature trails has got me excited to go out more and explore. Some memorable moments I've had in the past year was definitely the sitz parties, experiencing the glory (and stifling heat) of the Finnish sauna, and the sleepless winter nights hunting for northern lights. So yes, 10/10 would recommend this place. Anyways, I hope you have a wonderful time at LUT. Looking forward to get to know you all!

Some random facts about me:

• I've been playing the piano since I was six. Still can't sight-read for my life :') • Occasionally, I bake/steam cakes ranging from cheesecakes to kueh lapis. That said, I have an irrational distrust of my own oven • I used to know Mandarin, but somehow forgot most of it. As of writing, I can only write approx. 150 characters correctly and know their meaning. Don't even get me started on the tones

Olivia Kuusman

Hey, my name is Olivia Kuusman. I am a third-year Mechanical Engineering Bachelor’s student. I am originally from Pori, Finland. Currently, I live in Lappeenranta while studying. Some of my favorite activities are trekking and going on jogs. There are quite a few good running spots around campus. That is one reason I decided to study at LUT. I enjoy being surrounded by nature and having the opportunity to go out and enjoy the surrounding nature after lectures. One of my favorite memories here at LUT is meeting new people from around the world and having the opportunity to connect with students. Here at LUT I’ve made lifelong friendships and met some of my closest friends. I am excited about meeting you soon!

Andrea Maldonado Castellar

Hello! I’m Andrea and I’m from the north of Colombia. I am now a second-year Mechanical Engineering student and I’ve had an amazing time here in Lappeenranta. I’ve met so many people from many different places that have taught me a lot and one of my favorite experiences has been Wappu, trying sledging for the first time at Liugur with my friends was really fun, and I’d repeat that experience as many times as I can (even though I am an indoors person and hate sports).

Golnoosh Aghamohammadi

Hello,

My name is Golnoosh Aghamohammadi. I'm from Iran. I'm a second-year mechanical engineering master's student. I really like Lappeenranta because of its nature. It is a very affordable city for student life too. I enjoy hanging around with my friends on campus.

I think the LUT campus is a complete place for every student because of its facilities like a very calm and big library, restaurants, TEK lounge, gyms, etc. Last winter, when outside was too cold and dark for a long time, I spent most of my time with my friends on campus. We used to gather at TEK lounge and play Mafia or watch a movie. Also, we were in the guild for a coffee and talking, it was the best way for making new friends. Last year because of COVID, there weren't many events on campus, I hope this year we have more fun.

Aleksi Sullström

I am from Finland but I have lived 10 years in China prior to moving to Lappeenranta. My favourite memory from LUT is shadowing Wappu sits in a trailer sauna. Outside of school I snowboard, skydive and mess around with motorbikes.
