Hello! My name is Maria. I was born in Croatia and grew up in Serbia. I have lived for almost 5 years in Ireland and recently have decided to move back to Croatia.
My native language is Serbian and I speak English fluently at a C2 level. I know a bit of Spanish and Swedish on the side, but nothing to brag about :)
I live on a farm where we grow organic fruits and vegetables and plan to start a small agro-tourism business. I also run a Youtube channel about my life in rural Dalmatia.
I'm passionate about exploring nature's wonders, videography, environmentalism and sustainability.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Recently I acquired an accredited online TEFL certificate, which helped me better understand methodology and different approaches in teaching. I've gained valuable knowledge about conducting classes with students of different levels. But please, keep in mind, I am not a professional.
For me, it's all about communication and being flexible. I'm patient, willing to listen and help you with anything you might be struggling with, to the best of my knowledge. Being a non native speaker myself and having studied languages since the age of 10, I am fully aware of all the ordeals and obstacles one might find him/herself when trying to tackle them.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
It all depends on the student. First I like to conduct a needs analysis to determine your level, reasons for studying English and goals you would like to reach.
I like to keep it casual, informal and conversational. Besides speaking, sentence structure and pronunciation, I'm able to help you with basic grammar, vocabulary and other essential skills: writing, reading and listening.
