CEFR level: A level of B2 or higher is required of the student-teacher, if not teaching own native language. A level of A1.3 is the lowest level from which a student can learn a language in this programme. In other words, this programme is not recommended for beginners in a language.

Grading scale: Pass / Fail (depending on successful implementation of goals as assessed by student pairs and supervising teachers)

Registration for programme: Via email to one or both of the supervising language teachers

Language of instruction: Depending on the language being learnt and taught, the choices currently are Chinese, English, Finnish, French German, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

Further information: This programme does not fulfil the university regulations on foreign language studies for oral and written skills, but is optional. It supports and enables students to learn and/or improve upon languages currently taught at the Aalto Language Centre. Each One Teach One is also meant to support student exchange abroad and also provide incoming exchange or visiting students with a chance to carry out some form of language studies during their time at Aalto. However, all Each One Teach One (EOTO) work must have been completed before the exchange period ends and the student returns to their home country. The programme may be started at the beginning of every period, and thus an orientation meeting is scheduled with both language supervisors once the EOTO student has found a partner or been assisted in finding one.
