Certified teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience Certified teacher with an MA in Croatian language and History, I’ve spent 10 years helping students speak confidently—both online and in classrooms. My lessons blend language with culture, whether we’re discussing history, travel, or global news. Let’s turn your mistakes into progress while exploring topics you love! Learning a language is more than words - it’s about connecting with people and sharing thoughts. My goal as a teacher is for you to feel comfortable speaking Croatian and English.I offer personalized lessons and materials, always adjusting to your level. I know learning a new language is difficult and I will, in a patient and friendly way, correct and help you. I offer structured lessons, but also conversational ones. We can start learning language from the scratch (A1 level), or we can work on improving your conversation skills, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and make you a more confident and self-assured speaker. I can give you homework and provide you with literature (textbooks, workbooks), etc. 📚 Also, during our lessons we can have a free and friendly conversation just about any topic.🗣️ I will point out to your mistakes and give you a feedback at the end of the lesson. Motivating a student to consistently move forward is crucial to me. The important thing is to have fun while doing it!

I always look forward to my lessons with Marino. I feel like I am making great progress and always feel challenged (in a positive way!). If you are interested in learning or improving your Croatian, I can definitely recommend Marino as a teacher.

Thanks for the great lesson. He speaks clearly and adapts his speech to your level. I was able to understand quite a lot. Marino is patient, friendly and provides lots of tips and ideas, and also helps you with useful expressions that are a reflection of how the language is used today. He gave me some ideas for Youtube channels to follow, songs, and created a bridge between other Slavic languages, where the similarities and differences are to be found. This helps me get a better overview and acquire in-depth knowledge!

Marino ist ein professioneller studierter Lehrer kroatischer Sprache der sowohl mit anspruchsvolleren kulturellen/intellektuellen als auch alltägliche Themen sehr gut umgehen kann. Auf eine lockere Art "zwingt" er den Student zu sprechen und korrigiert die Sprache dabei. Ideal für anspruchsvolleren Lehrlingen so wie ich.
