About Me

I am a native Serbian speaker. I have a Bachelor's degree in French language and literature with Spanish as a second language. I am passionate about the pure process of learning and learning how to learn. Something I love so much is discovering how my students learn, making me an open-minded teacher. As a teacher, I am a good listener and patient when passing knowledge. I enjoy the process of creating lessons and preparing materials as much as I enjoy the class itself. I sincerely look forward to the progress of my students.

Skills

  • Teaching phonetics

    As a non-native speaker it took me time to master the phonetics of French and much less time to master the phonetics of Spanish. As a result came knowledge about the importance of training the oral muscles and focusing on breathing for the sake of not only better pronunciation but also easier understanding of native speakers.

  • Teaching grammar

    In order to master the language more easily and quickly, and therefore to develop the ability to understand native speakers with as few difficulties as the ability to express clearly, work on verb tenses must be thorough and consistent. Nouns have their pronouns and they are easy to use, but verbs, words that express an action can only be replaced by another verb or a periphrasis. Therefore, I believe that verbs, that is, actions, are the core of the very base of language learning. Yes, learning and teaching grammar can be a pure passion!

  • Convesation classes

    Conversation classes also include work on phonetics, grammar, and muscle movement training.

Experience

  • Spanish teacher

    Private teacher

    I am experienced in teaching teenagers and adults. Working with basic-level students focuses on the acquisition of words and the understanding and acquisition of language structures, after which the emphasis is transferred to oral and written expression. Working with independent-level students includes a lot of listening, speaking, and writing.
