Hello! My name is Stanislav, Stan for short. I am a 48-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 7 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 10 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!

Lessons with Stan are always a pleasure. He is brilliant, and we can talk about everything. When I started my journey with him, I was very shy and afraid to talk in English, but now, under his guidance, I feel better. I strongly recommend Stan to everyone who wants to improve their spoken English and learn a lot of new words.

Stan is really smart and funny. He knows a lot and I like his class. I think his class is good for people who want to talk and learn about many things. Thank you, Stan! I'm excited for the next class

I think Stas did an amazing job in teaching me English and he not only showed me ways to communicate better in English, he also helped me become more confident in my communication. He was also incredibly patient with me, and had a great sense of humour which really lightened up the lecturer room. Thank you!
