guru

Explanation:
You can use guru in Finnish as well. But not of just any teacher, but of someone really mastering a certain field. In Finnish the pronunciation goes "/guru/", with short vowels.

You mean how to write the English pronunciation of guru (\'/gu:ru:/\') in Finnish? As to teach a Finn some English? (Or would this also be how it is pronounced in hindi?)
That would be then something like guuruu. If I understood you right...
