Hello! My name is Stanislav, Stan for short. I am a 49-year-old male from Bosnia, married for over 2 decades and counting, war veteran, Bachelor of Science from Toronto U, speaking English for well over 30 years now. I am passionate about cats & dogs, gaming, music, movies, and anime. I love reading, and learning new things - I am a computer engineer by trade, but I got a welder's license as well, and have worked as an archivist for few years in addition to my military background so you can see I have a wide spectrum of interests :)

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching online over 8 years now and I have a lot of experience with all types of students be they beginners, intermediate or proficient. I am not used to working with small children online, so ages of 12 and above are preferred.
My lessons & teaching style
I am a patient and kind type (so my students tell me!) - my greatest joy is when students actually ASK me questions (that means that they are awake, as well :P ). I enjoy interacting with people, and interactive style suits me best, but of course, I can be "old school" and stick to the book, if that is what is required!

Stanislav is one of the best English teachers I’ve ever had! Not only is his content well-organized, but he is also incredibly patient and humorous. He makes learning English enjoyable and motivating. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their English!

I’ve had more than 10 lessons with Stanislav and can confidently say he is a great teacher. I enjoy our lessons a lot because Stanislav, apart from being a well-rounded interlocutor I really enjoy talking to, always prepares for the lessons by finding interesting news to discuss. Also, I highly appreciate that he always does his best to keep me engaged and the conversation going in order to help me improve my English.
