About me

English as it’s really spoken

I have been teaching English since 2009. English and Croatian are both my native languages: I was born in Croatia, then grew up and went to school in America. That’s why I know both languages from the inside — and exactly where Croatian speakers tend to get stuck, and how to help them speak naturally, without the fear of making mistakes.

Speaking is at the heart of my lessons: we speak English from the very first class and have a conversation in every lesson — without neglecting grammar, writing and reading. Along the way you also pick up everyday, colloquial English — the way it’s really spoken.

I tailor every lesson to the learner: for children through games, stories and songs — they pick up pronunciation fastest by imitating me — and for adults through topics they care about and real-life situations.

Natural pronunciation
Real-life expressions and accent — not just textbook English.
A plan made for you
Pace, topics and materials shaped around your goals.
Relaxed approach
Patient, encouraging and pressure-free — for kids and grown-ups.
Two native languages
Grammar and tricky differences can be explained in Croatian whenever needed.
