About Me
italki teacher since Jun 15, 2020
Skilled and dynamic owner and manager of very successful people-oriented business, self-employed for past 13 years and working in Tourism and Hospitality.
Ready to utilise my skills and passion in creating a ground for students to grow and learn, not only new languages, but also mindful ways of living and relating to self and others.
Love travelling and learning new cultures. Travelled through most part of Europe, SI Asia, South America and the Middle East.
Enjoy nature, picking mushrooms and edible plants. Production of olive oil - I'm an owner of a small olive farm.
Me as a Teacher
I have a neutral and clear accent. You will have no problem following my words and I can be of great help in cracking pronunciation! We will also check right from the start that the speed of conversation suits your preferences.
I am happy to work with students on all levels and I will customise my lessons according to your needs. You are of course welcome to provide your material as well.
I am hoping you will perceive me as a friendly and supportive teacher from our very first session and that you will feel a natural flow of communication between equally motivated participants. I will do my best to recognise and support your efforts and to build new knowledge from there.
My lessons & teaching style
During a trial lesson we will discuss your needs and motivations when it comes to improving your English and we'll come up with a plan that works for you.We can discuss prices and packages, options for discount.
During your lesson I am more than happy to correct any of your errors regarding grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure and pronunciation.
I will be as understanding as possible regarding any issues about not showing up to the first class-we are all humans and unexpected situations can happen to anyone!

Odlično! I really love my lessons with Marija. She has a wonderful way of explaining different topics of and in her language. She always has great and understandable examples when she explains grammar or the meaning of a word. She is very patient and a lovely ☺️ person to talk to. And I know it sounds like a matter of course, but it sounds so great when she reads some text out loud. Her pronunciation is just on top. Hvala ti puno Marija. Uvijek savršeno 🙌🏻
