Interest topicReadingArtHistory
My name is Ziga and I come from Slovenia. I am 30 years old, and for the past 9 years I have been living abroad in countries such as Scotland, Germany, The Netherlands, and Brazil, where I currently reside.
I am a traveler and explorer by heart. I love exploring new cultures through music, food, traditions, and especially language.
I am a very creative and artistic person since I love to express myself through art, music, and writing. My hobbies include playing music, reading, writing, and going for a walk in the park or anywhere where I can be surrounded by nature. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends and a nice cozy night at home watching a movie.
Me as a Teacher
Hello! My name is Ziga and I am an English teacher. I have been teaching English for the last 8 years. It all started when I started tutoring my friends and colleagues for their work and realized that teaching is actually my passion since I really enjoyed it and found myself in it.
I also love meeting and talking to new people and getting to know their culture and country from where they are from.
I also offer TEXT CORRECTIONS and PROOFREADING in English for any text such as essays, theses, dissertations, articles, and documents. Write to me about your offer and let's talk more about it!
Disclaimer: I focus on adult students so please don't send me lessons for kids. Thank you!
My lessons & teaching style
In my lessons, I like to play on my student's strengths and focus on their weaknesses. I work on expanding our vocabulary where we learn new words and their meaning, we focus on grammar and sentence structure, as well as pronunciation.
I also include short videos and audios, as well as short texts so we can work on our listening and reading comprehension. This way, the student will improve in the language much faster and better since they will get a grasp of the language in all its 4 parts (speaking, listening, reading, and writing).

ZIGA is a very nice teacher and the contents are always benefit to me. He was very patient when I got confused with the points; and he was also very humorous when he instructed me. So don't hesitate if you have any thoughts to come along in ENGLISH. He definitely helps you in some regards.

Ziga is a very professional and knowledgeable teacher.
We have had more than 60 lessons from May 2022 to now! We made the learning plan together and stuck to it. He is always so helpful in my learning journey. At the beginning of our lessons, it was pretty challenging for me to make even simple expressions in English. But now, I can speak with more confidence.
You don't want to miss such a good teacher if you're going to improve your English.

Ziga as a teacher is very friendly, helpful, and patient. Besides, he has a great sense of humour. I highly appreciate his way of communication and methods of teaching.

Ziga is a “serious” teacher. He points out every mistake I make, even a tiny one. He types all the right words in the notes. At the beginning of the classes, you may feel difficult, because change is hard, but that’s the difference between him and other teachers. Never hesitate to reserve his class.
