I have a very strong academic background combined with more 15+ years of experience teaching these languages as a high school professor or private tutor. I am pleased, and proud, to say that I was working in the best schools and currently working in prestigious institutions in New York.
Years of teaching and training have taught me to understand each student individually and try to truly optimize the learning experience. It is necessary not only to learn the language, but also to be able to use it appropriately. My goal is to enable my students to speak the target language with proficiency in the shortest time possible by speaking a new language from the very first class and master the language over the time. Students can expect to feel comfortable speaking in a variety of situations and to have gained a solid understanding of the grammatical, structural and cultural aspects of the language.My approach mostly involves tutoring the language through conversation and helping students to assimilate the maximum of vocabulary in every lesson. This is what makes my teaching extremely successful.
Materials and plans lessons are carefully selected to effectively meet the student's goals and individual learning style.
Learning a language is also about learning the culture where it is spoken: people, music, art, history, politics, etc. So learning with me will give you chance to know much more about ex Yugoslavia republics and their culture.
