Learning English isn’t only about grammar — it’s about connection, confidence, and understanding yourself in another language.
In this class, I help students speak naturally and feel at ease when expressing themselves in English, whether for travel, studies, or work.

I hold a Master’s degree in Teaching English and a Bachelor’s degree in Translation and Languages, and I’ve taught in both public and private schools for over five years. Having lived in Spain and Italy, and speaking Spanish, Italian, Slovene, and Croatian, I deeply understand the challenges learners face — from fear of speaking to overthinking every word.

That’s why I adapt each class to your real-life goals and background.

For total beginners, I can also explain key concepts in your native language when needed — to make the learning process clearer, smoother, and much more enjoyable.

Together, we’ll focus on conversation, pronunciation, practical vocabulary, and everyday communication — so you can speak English with confidence and authenticity in any situation.
Extra information
Together, we find the best way to structure the lessons based on your needs and wishes.

Please make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi connection and a laptop or computer for online lessons. Bring curiosity, motivation, and an open mind — the rest we’ll build together.

About Me
I’m a passionate English teacher and language professional who believes learning a language should feel natural, personal, and inspiring. My classes focus on communication, confidence, and culture — helping students feel comfortable and authentic when speaking English.

I’ve lived and worked in Slovenia, Spain, Italy, and Belgium, and speak Spanish, Italian, Slovene, and Croatian, so I truly understand the challenges language learners face. I’ve taught in public schools and private academies in Spain and Slovenia, working with different levels and ages of learners, from teenagers to adults.

I’ve also taught Business English and English in vocational schools, adapting lessons to specific professions such as hairdressers, plumbers, auto mechanics, computer engineers, and tourism students. My teaching style is always adaptive, supportive, and focused on helping each student build real confidence and fluency in everyday and professional communication.

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced speaker, I’ll help you build real confidence and flow in English through meaningful, motivating lessons.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)
