A K M Sunamul Islam

Hi! I’m Sunam, a 2nd year master’s student in Industrial Systems Analytics at the University of Vaasa, in Vaasa. I enjoy solving problems, learning about new cultures, and helping others feel at home in new environments. I know from personal experience how valuable it is to have someone to guide you during the first weeks in a new country, and that’s why I’m excited to be an international tutor. In my free time, I enjoy reading fiction and unwinding with a good book with a cup of tea.

Hope to see u at campus
