Other greeting is used for "good day" which in Croatian would be "Dobar dan". You can also use "Dobar dan" during the whole afternoon.

Following on my previous review, Ivana has exceeded my expectation. After 13 lessons , She is still both reliable and responsive. Her sense of humour makes every class enjoyable and engaging. Her co-operation and openness to my ideas are second to none. I Could not recommend her enough if you want to learn a new language.

Hello!
I'm Slađana. I'm 37 years old and I'm a teacher in Primary School, teacher of Croatian language and Teacher of English as a second language (TEFL).
The focus of my lesson is on results. That means that I will let my students know at the beginning of each lesson what result I want to achieve.
It is important for me that my students like me, I want them to be relaxed and confident to talk. They are investing significant time, money and energy into learning language, so they deserve the best possible instructions.

My name is Maja and I am from Croatia, currently a master student in English and French translation in Zadar, one of the beauties of Adriatic sea. I have experience in English and Croatian teaching to people of different age, interests and language competence needs.
Language learning is an opportunity to see the world in different perspective, but also, when you learn a new language it is an exchange of traditional, cultural and social experiences that enriches you in many ways.
We can create a pace and style of learning depending on your needs and goals. I hope we can learn together!

Hello everbody,
I am an experienced and teaching-passionate language professional offering tailor-made Croatian (all levels), General English (Elementary, Beginner's, Intermediate & Upper-intermediate level) and Russian (Elementary & Intermediate level) Conversation lessons as well as Business English.
The lessons are structured according to student's needs with a variety of interesting topics. A range of different teaching materials is used. I tend to apply mostly visual aids as, according to my experience, they help students most in memorising new words and language structures.
During the lessons we are focusing on further development of communication skills but we are also exploring vocabulary, grammar and culture. We read and discuss various texts, analyze grammatical issues, listen to conversations and songs, play games and quizzes and more than anything, we TALK! That makes conversation lessons always interesting, useful and likeable.
As an open and friendly person with an international family and experience of life in other countries, I enjoy meeting people of other cultures. I would be happy to get a chance to help people all over the world to learn the languages I teach. Perhaps you as well?
Welcome! Dobro došli! Добро пожаловать! Welkom!

Hello,
I am a multilingual teacher with experience in teaching French to German, Japanese, English, Bulgarian and Italian-speaking students, etc. (levels A1 to C1).
I have been teaching French for 8 years in Luxemburg and now in Bulgaria for 4 years, to teenagers, housewives, businessmen, employees, doctors, etc. I can also help you with DELF and DALF preparation. I give lessons via Skype, Zoom and Microsoft Teams in several countries.
My teaching method for each class : a grammar point together with listening, a lot of speaking with conversation questions or games. While you speak, I write all the new words you need to express yourself, illustrated by pictures or translated in your language.
I do my best to make you feel comfortable to speak and for you to have a pleasant time. According to me, using humour will help you learn more easily.
Whether you need to learn French for business, integration in a French-speaking country or studying, I will be happy to help you. Do not hesitate to contact me for a free trial lesson.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Katia

I have a degree in English and I have been teaching English for 6 consecutive years.
I find teaching English gratifying and thoroughly enjoyable, and it gives me immense joy to see people I teach improve in their written and spoken English.
My specialties are phonics, grammar, vocabulary, public speaking, conversational English and writing. But I can teach other aspects of English too.

Hi, everyone! I'm Marissa. I'm a native speaker of English from the United States. I'm currently living in Istanbul, Turkey and I can speak Turkish. I can also understand basic Spanish. I received my teaching certification in 2011 and I've been teaching ever since. I have experience working with students from all over the world, in language schools, kindergarten, exam preparation centers, and online, not only as a teacher but also as an education coordinator.
I offer my students a very structured program to help them improve their overall English level. In our trial lesson, I will evaluate your level and we will discuss your goals. I will then provide you with a coursebook and supplementary materials suitable for your level and needs. We will use these both together in class and outside of class for homework. We will cover all necessary skills (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation) but we will give special attention to whatever your weaknesses may be.
Alternatively, if you are not looking for such an intensive program, I also offer guided conversation practice. I am flexible! Just write me and we can start working on a plan for you. I'm looking forward to meeting you soon. :)

She is always responsive to any special requests I have in relation to lesson content and uses a variety of materials. I look forward to continuing with Daniela for the foreseeable future.

As non-native parents it is certainly not easy to teach your children Dutch or to help with the fluency of the new language. Who wants some extra exercise for his children? I can help you with that. As their vocabulary becomes more and more extensive and their sentences become increasingly fluid, your children will get more and more self-confident. To speak well the Dutch language will surely benefit them now and later.
Do your children need some help with their homework, especially with their Dutch, then I can help with that.
Even as non-native-speaking adults, it is sometimes difficult to have enough exercise. That is why also adults who want to make progress in speaking the Dutch language are welcome here! We can practice the everyday language together.

We have been having Dutch lessons with Liesbet now since July last year. I must say that not only is she professional, punctual and conscientious. Ava’s Dutch has come on leaps and bounds, as has mine. As such we have two lessons a week, and I 100 percent whole heartedly recommend Liesbet to anyone looking to improve their language skills. Her technique and teaching skills are exceptional.

Hello everyone! I'm Marta, and I am an Italian teacher. Since the beginning of my career I have worked in contact with foreign languages and Italian. While studying to obtain my master's degree in "Italian language and culture for foreigners", I had the opportunity to work as an Italian language assistant in a foreign University. More recently, I held an Italian course for people who have just arrived in Italy.
My greatest passion is literature, which I avidly read. To pursue this interest I also undertook a post-graduate master in translation, which allowed me to become a Spanish translator and to explore the world of editing by doing an internship at an independent publishing house. I am also fluent in English.
The classes for my students are centred around oral communication and Italian grammar, so I put great effort to exclusively speak Italian and avoid using other languages. I personalise PowerPoint presentations for my students, and I regularly prepare weekly assignments to be revised during the following lesson, in order to encourage individual study. The first class is free and is centred around the interests and needs of the student, in order to create a personalized and engaging program.
Teaching and languages has always been my passion, so if you want to learn or deepen your knowledge of Italian language and culture, do not hesitate to contact me!

Tired of studying Portuguese and not being able to talk to native speakers? I know exactly what you've been going through. With over 35 years of experience teaching languages, I have seen hundreds of students in your situation. And they all come to me with the same impression: Portuguese is not my thing. And I always tell them what I'll tell you now: don't blame yourself. Blame the awful approaches and methodologies we have on the market, that focus on rules and more rules, but don't help you operate in your target language.
Now, if you're ready to try something new, that will really make you speak Portuguese, I am the one who can help you.
No matter what your level is, in my classes you'll start speaking Portuguese from day one.
Book a class right now and get ready to be surprised!
