About Me
italki teacher since Dec 17, 2020Interest topicFoodTravelMusicEnvironment & NatureHistory
I ve lived in two different countries and cultures (Germany and Croatia), so I have kept Croatian flexibility, spontaneity and warmth, but from the other side I accepted German organization, planning and persistence. I am someone, who like to travel and comunicate with people from all over the world, to meet other cultures and to learn new languages. I prefer history and social sciences and I enjoy cooking, dancing and hiking. Except teaching and translating I have worked as a guide and receptionist, so far my knowledge of people is quite large. I also think that I am very curious and open minded person. My motto is: We can do anything, but nothing is a must.Me as a Teacher
Experienced and passionate teacher with much love for educating. Experienced in creating schedules. A qualified, adaptable and motivated teacher for adults and children with a proven track record in teaching German language in different public and private schools. Able to act as a facilitator of powerful learning experience, while allowing students to dictate certain lessons and lead witch curiosity. Familiar with many renowned educational philosophies, aimed at supporting academically, emotionally and socially.My lessons & teaching style
Creating lessons based on interests of students. Simplify things as much as possible. Get in to the head of student and try to understand his way of conecting the information in teaching language. To encourage students to speak as much as possible and bring them to try to prepare and represent different topics like interesting cultural, historical, business, culinary, geographical or tourist facts using for example short videos or presentation slides.My teaching material

Dubravka helped me with the Croatian alphabet and its pronunciation in our first lesson. I like her style of communicating and introducing new material!
