Interest topicMusicFoodHistory
I live in Rijeka, Croatia. I have an MA in History and Croatian language and literature and 7 years of teaching experience, including 2 year of teaching English online. I enjoy meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I´m passionate about history, music, movies, theater, animals, traveling etc. I always like to hear about other people´s opinions and feelings. I also like to talk about news, events, technology, science, global topics ect.
Me as a Teacher
I am very friendly and patient. My goal as a teacher is for you to feel comfortable speaking English and Croatian. I always adjust my speaking speed to my student's level. I know learning a new language is difficult and I will correct and help students to become more confident and fluent in speaking the language. I would love to help you on your journey!
My lessons & teaching style
We can start learning language from the scratch (A1 level) with the materials, or we can work on improving your conversation skills, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and make you a more confident and self-assured speaker.
Also, during our lessons we can have a free and friendly conversation just about any topic, or I can help you prepare for IELTS Speaking Test (English). I will point out to your mistakes and give you a feedback at the end of the lesson.
I believe the best way to learn (improve) a language is through everyday conversations, talking about interesting topics, but also focusing on grammar. That is the best way to go. 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.

Marino is great, always adapts to your needs and "moods", you'll never get bored with him, he teaches with reference to Croatia's culture and customs :)

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!
