About Me
italki teacher since Jul 9, 2024Interest topicTechTravelWritingMarketingBusiness & Finance
Hello! My name is Mina, and I’m a passionate English and Serbian teacher dedicated to helping students explore the beauty and nuances of these languages. With several years of experience in guiding learners toward success, I take pride in creating engaging, student-centered lessons that cater to individual goals. My approach to teaching is both supportive and adaptable, ensuring that each student can thrive in their language journey. In addition to teaching, I’m an avid writer and continuously enjoy expanding my own language skills, always eager to learn and grow alongside my students.Me as a Teacher
I'm an enthusiastic and dedicated English teacher with a deep passion for helping students achieve their language goals. My teaching approach is structured yet flexible, allowing for personalized lessons that address the unique needs and objectives of each student. I focus on creating a positive, supportive learning environment where students feel confident and motivated to enhance their English or Serbian skills. Committed to providing high-quality, interactive lessons, I strive to make language learning both enjoyable and effective, ensuring progress and satisfaction with every class.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are meticulously structured to cater to each student’s unique goals and learning style. We begin with a lead-in activity to review previous vocabulary and introduce new terms. The core of the lesson often includes a reading exercise where students skim for general meaning, read aloud for pronunciation refinement, and identify unfamiliar words. I guide students in contextualizing these words, ensuring a deeper understanding. We then engage in speaking practice, where students express their opinions on the text, and I provide targeted feedback on grammar and fluency. Homework typically involves a written assignment to reinforce the lesson's key concepts.My teaching material

Certificates
English for Business Communication - Alison - 2024I have obtained this certificate recently, to serve as a form of confirmation of my knowledge regarding how Business English is taught.
My most important knowledge actually came from experience teaching Business English to working professionals on Preply for 2 years where I taught them how to develop the ability to participate effectively in meetings, presentations, and negotiations, while mastering clear, concise business writing and understanding the nuances of international communication.

How to Teach IELTS - ICD - 2024As a seasoned test preparation expert with 3 years of experience, I’ve helped many students excel in IELTS and TOEFL, with most achieving top bands, such as 8.5-9 in IELTS and 110+ in TOEFL. My expertise extends to various language proficiency exams, backed by practical experience from platforms like Preply and one-on-one lessons on Skype. While I am providing this certificate, my real value lies in the knowledge and skills gained through hands-on teaching.

Thank you for the lesson again for AI! It was very interesting for me to try sharing my experiences for using Chat GPT to you in English and your explanation was much clear to understand. :)
