Sini Eriksson

Hi! 💜 My name is Sini Eriksson and I’m a sports tutor at ÅAU Sports. I study health sciences at ÅA and my minor is sports and developmental psychology. In my free time, I enjoy everything from the gym and long walks to adventures like snowboarding, skydiving, and diving.
As a sports tutor, I want to inspire everyone to find the type of exercise that suits them best. Feel free to come chat with me or send me a message on Instagram: @sinielena or @aboakademiuniversitysports!

Nellie Mannil

Hi there!  My name is Nellie Mannil, and I am studying to become a primary school teacher at Åbo Akademi University.

I have always had a strong passion for sports and physical activity. I play football and compete in alpine skiing, but I have also tried many other sports over the years. I owe this partly to my parents, but above all to my previous studies at Folkhälsan Norrvalla, where I trained as a sports instructor and completed a double degree in 2025.

Through my studies and personal experience in sports, I have had the opportunity to explore different ways of leading, coaching, and inspiring others to be physically active—something I am truly passionate about. The most rewarding part of being an instructor is seeing others develop, gain confidence, and discover the joy of exercise.

As a tutor, I hope to use my passion and experience in sports to inspire others to enjoy an active lifestyle while helping to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.

So, don’t hesitate to come and say hi or get in touch with me—whether you want to talk about sports, your studies, or anything else!
