Finns start learning English as children in school, so there's not much need for English as a foreign language teachers (only qualified teachers with full degrees). You also don't mention where you are from, but if it's outside the EU, it's unlikely you could get a work permit. I'm not sure how you could get a grant or scholarship either, as usually those are reserved for research or studies. If coming up with funds is the problem, the easiest thing to do would be to take an extra job part time to save the money. For cheap flights, try Momondo: http://momondo.com For free accommodation (staying with locals) try Couchsurfing: http://couchsurfing.com If you are able to arrange a host (or several) to stay with, the only costs would be flight and a small food budget (if you cook your own meals), plus whatever spending money you bring.

Lol, teach English to Finns? Um, they probably speak it as well or better than you do as they learn it at school from when they start. Also you're only wanting to be there for a week? For goodness sake, just stay at youth hostels, do you have an aversion to spending money or something?
