Also, I was active in the fields of project coordination, curriculum development, workshops for self-esteem development and programs for intercultural sensitivity and competence.My lessons & teaching style
I employ different methodologies and approaches to teaching: audio-lingualism, computer assisted language learning, checking-homework challenge, encouraging students to speak as much as possible, Neurolinguistic programming and crossing cultures.

Minela is an incredible teacher! The depth of her teaching knowledge and skill is truly mind-blowing. I always finish lessons feeling as though I've had the privilege of studying with one of the great minds in the field of education.

Zahvalan sam što si me pratila od samog početka sve do sada (i dalje). Ovaj se kontinuitet ne podrazumijeva i mislim da je to nešto posebno.

It was very good, the teacher do tell me my mistakes and that is great because that's what I need to improve my speaking. Moreover she encourages me and another very important thing to me: she told me not to be nervous in the lesson but to enjoy it.
I'm very happy with her.

I started Croatian lessons because I planned a trip to Dubrovnik and the surrounding area and wanted to have the basic tourist language to be polite. I originally thought I would take a few classes, and be done. But, I ended up continuing the lessons for a year after my trip because I enjoyed everything about the italki experience with Minela. She was very helpful, kind, and made every lesson interesting. I am taking a break due to other school commitments now but I want to thank her profusely for a wonderful experience! Not only did I learn a lot about the language, but also the cultures of Croatia and Bosnia.

I did my trial lesson with M.K & she was super friendly! It didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable, at all. Which was a big thing for me! Super happy I came across her profile. She’s clearly proficient, very smart & organized. Doesn’t try force anything, wants to go with your pace & what best fits you. Super sweet teacher.
