Croatian Tutors & Teachers

Hello, my name is Ana and I was born and raised in Croatia. I am a native Croatian speaker. I completed a Master degree in Italian language and literature and Pedagogy at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in the capital of Croatia (Zagreb) and, after having finished my studies I immediately started working in a primary school as a school counselor and administrative assistant. Since I wanted to get more experience with other languages, apart from English and Italian, I moved to Spain and I have lived in Spain (Madrid) for 3,5 years. That has given me the confidence to manage and improve my life and professional experience. Since I also was looking forward to advance my career and have already gotten my 6 years experience working in a primary school, going abroad seemed to be the best and logical next step. I worked 2,3 years in a start up company dedicated to educate about Internet of Things projects while being a highly efficient and innovative part of a team. My teaching style depends on what you need the language for. For example, if you want to understand people and talk to them well , then we would put the focus on the conversational language which includes basic grammar and words (but also the some slang words). On the other hand, if you want to improve your knowledge for some concrete aspect of your work, I will arrange business type lessons based on your needs. To do well the listening part, I will provide you my personal youtube listening audio/video clips with the aspect on Croatian country and the culture in general, so that you can learn about the culture and the language at the same time. Having homework is something that depends on you because my hours are flexible and have an aim to help you in what you really need! The area of my interest has also been the customer service, and customer's satisfaction, and exchanging business experiences. I am very flexible of working as part of a team or individually. Languages are my eternal passion. That would be all from me, really hope we could learn together on Verbling.com! Stay well, Ana

Pozdrav svima! I'm a qualified Croatian and English teacher holding a Master's Degree in Croatian and English Language. Languages are my passion and I grew up speaking both of these languages. I have ample experience in language teaching, and over the past five years, I have taught a variety of courses. I've also been involved in courses that focus on improving students’ pronunciation. Besides working in my home country, I also spent two and a half years working in Vietnam as a language teacher. This experience allowed me to perfect my teaching skills in a different cultural environment, and I would like to continue to develop my teaching skills in the future. I'm looking forward to meeting people from all over the world!

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW STUDENTS! Hi, my name is Marija and I was born and raised in Croatia in an area where the used language is very similar to the standard language. Here are some fun facts about the people in Croatia. We are coffee lovers, easygoing, friendly and most of us can speak English. There are a lot more interesting stuff about the people and the culture but we can talk all about that in lessons. I am a student at Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb where I´m currently studying to become a teacher in social sciences. In addition, I wanted to get more experience with other languages I have been learning at the time so my primary focus was online language exchange where I have taught English and Croatian for the past 3 years. The reason I have kept doing teaching others languages that I am proficient at and want to step the things up is because it´s fun and it brings me great joy when I see improvement in someones language ability. My teaching style depends on what you need the language for. I have an official textbook which is used to teach foreigners Croatian and I adapt the lesson order and exclude things you won`t need or include things that you will need according to what kind of Croatian you need to learn. After every lesson I like to give homework, but that is entirely up to you. For example, if you want to understand people and talk to them then I am teaching you the conversational language which includes basic grammar and words, slang words, how to alternate words to become easier to use but so that everyone can still understand you. Plus, if you are going somewhere where a dialect is used I will also focus on those words. As for the learning outside the lessons, I will propose some fun media materials which can deal with the Croatian culture or anything you would like it to be about and later we can talk about it in lessons. So you can learn about the culture and the language at the same time. What I like to focus early on is spoken language because I find that when you are learning the language usually the focus is on listening and grammar and speaking is neglected which is especially bad when you need to learn conversational language. That would be all from me. I hope we can learn together on Verbling.

Bok svima! 😊 My name is Julijana and I am a native Croatian speaker. I obtained my double BA degree in Spanish and German language and literature and a double MA degree in Teaching German as a foreign language and in Spanish-Croatian Translation. At the University Nebrija in Madrid I was enrolled in an MA program of Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language, taking part in numerous specializations and teacher trainings. Since I am a Croatian native speaker, I’ve adapted my knowledge of foreign language teaching to the teaching of my mother tongue, so I also give Croatian classes to foreigners. My fluency and knowledge of English, Spanish and German can be useful to you, since you can get one to one Croatian class taught in these languages. I come from a region that uses standard Croatian dialect, but I have also lived in other Croatian regions so I know different dialects that I can teach you if you have a preference for a specific one 😊 I try to adapt my classes to the individual, so we can focus exactly on what you need and want the most, whether it be grammar, conversation or vocabulary. I like my classes to be fun and relaxed, including videos, podcasts and quizzes. I'm looking forward to meeting you! 😊
