Imagine the excitement of winning a close game of chess, or going abroad for a while and only speaking in English. In my classes, you will only speak in English and learn how to play chess at the same time. I hope to hear from you soon and may the queen's gambit be with you!

In my opinion, learning a new language is always an enriching experience that allows you to get closer to new cultures, people and countries. For this reason, I consider that the fundamental thing is to make the learning process fun and pleasant. It is important to know what the student's interests are when learning Spanish: if they are looking for practice in conversation, passing a language test, learning grammar, learning to communicate, increasing their vocabulary, understanding their favorite podcast... Thus, The classes will be adapted to the needs of each student. For this same reason, if it is a person fascinated by music and literature, those will be our topics of conversation. If, on the other hand, it is a child who enjoys bilingual games, I will use that to structure the classes. If you are looking for grammar, syntax and vocabulary, they will be classes more focused on exercises dedicated to these topics. In short, the main thing is to adapt to the interests of each student so that the experience is good and the language is learned naturally.

Hello! 👋 My classes are designed for both seafarers working on board ships or in VTS centers and anyone living on land. With me, you'll learn the maritime English you need to work on ships, in ports, and in VTS centers, as well as the general English that will allow you to communicate fluently in any situation in your daily life. I specialize, above all, in helping my students gain confidence in speaking and ensuring their English can accompany them wherever they go. The goal will always be for you to learn real, useful English, both to pass certification exams and to use it in your life and your future. Are you ready to get on board and learn real English?

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is entirely on natural discussion centered on books, writing, and cinema. We will chat about character psychology, narrative themes, and storylines. We can even read and analyze short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on what makes your heart beat faster. As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use those same natural expressions to sound more confident and natural in your own English. Don't worry—you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favorite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable. It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. Yes, I will correct your mistakes, but mistakes are one of the most valuable parts of learning. They show us what to improve and help build lasting confidence. My goal is for every lesson to feel engaging, encouraging, and something you genuinely look forward to. This is an open, friendly space for anyone who wants to build real-world speaking confidence, expand their vocabulary, and share their enthusiasm for books and movies. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace, because I believe we learn best when we're genuinely interested in what we're talking about. MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT: To make your lessons completely stress-free, you are welcome to use your native language whenever you get stuck. I have a strong passive understanding (listening and reading) of several languages, which means I can easily understand you if you speak or write in: •English (Fluent - MA Degree) •Serbian (Native) •Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese & German (Listening & Reading comprehension) Note: While I mostly understand these languages when you use them, our actual conversation and explanations will be conducted in English or Serbian. TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR ONLINE LESSONS: I conduct my lessons via Google Meet (the easiest option—no installation required, you just click the link I send you) or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. During our sessions, we will actively use screen sharing, digital learning materials, and interactive notes to ensure your learning experience is highly effective and engaging.
