Hi there, I am Dora! I have a master's degree in Spanish language and literature, Art History and Teaching. I worked as an audiovisual translator, and I translated English and Spanish movies, series, and reality shows into the Croatian language. However, in the past two years I worked as a language teacher, on Italki, and also in the international school United World College, as a Spanish teacher. Right now I am a PhD candidate at the University of Barcelona. I speak Croatian, Spanish, Catalan, Galician, English, Portuguese, and I study French and Italian. I hope I can help you with your language journey too! :)
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have two years of experience in teaching languages, and I worked both with beginners and with advanced students. Also, as I learned five languages myself, and I am studying two more at the moment, I know how to approach this journey of language learning.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I try to create a relaxed atmosphere in my classes, so my students can be relaxed when acquiring a new language. I like to talk a lot from the beginning, as for me, this is the best way of gaining fluency in a foreign language. Also, depending on what are your interests, I can provide audiovisual materials, texts, or specific subjects, that you would like us to discuss in our lesson. Although grammar is not the main point of my lessons, I strongly believe that it is important, so I am also including it if it is necessary for a student.
Dora is an amazing teacher. I can't believe how much effort she puts into every class, preparing activities, games, and even presentations. I'm so glad to have found her and would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn languages in fun and interesting ways.

I have had several Croatian lessons with Dora and I must say that I am very satisfied with her teaching. She always makes the lessons very varied and prepares them pedagogically very well. She uses a variety of methods (games, cloze texts, audio-visual exercises, etc.). Dora is always well prepared and responds to my level and needs to the maximum. As a result, I have already been able to significantly improve my Croatian language skills. She is a very sympathetic and empathetic teacher with a very positive aura. I always feel very comfortable in her lessons. Therefore, I can highly recommend Croatian lessons with Dora. I can't imagine a better teacher.

We discussed what is going on and went over some translations I made and Dora corrected for me. As always I got useful feedback about what I wrote and said. Thanks for a productive class!

Dora je sjajna učiteljica! :) After over two months of regular lessons I can tell that Dora is a wonderful teacher!
She's a very interesting and open-minded person, so you never run out of topics: language, culture, people, everyday life, world issues. Her list of conversational topics is outstanding and we barely scratched the surface :) She creates a pleasant, opuštenu (relaxed) atmosphere during the lesson, encourages you to speak and gives very practical feedback.
Thanks to her education and experience of living in different cities of the region and abroad, she has an excellent command of not only Croatian, but also Bosnian and Serbian (not to mention Spanish, Catalan and English). She knows everything about grammar and the standard language, which can be helpful if you're inquisitive :D
As an upper-intermediate, I recommend her to students of all levels. She has some materials of her own and moreover she can prepare something specifically for you.
Hvala ti puno, vidimo se! :)
