About Me
italki teacher since Sep 5, 2022Interest topicHistoryTravelArtFilms & TV SeriesReading
My name is Nevena and I can help you learn and improve your Greek and Serbian.😊
I come from Serbia and live in Greece. I have a Bachelor's degree in modern Greek language and literature at the Belgrade University of Philology, and have additionally completed two international programs in Greek at the Aristotle University and ΙΜΧΑ (Institute for Balkan Studies) - levels C2 and C1. I am currently doing my Master's degree in History, Anthropology and Culture in Eastern and Southeastern Europe at the University of Macedonia.
I am a passionate language enthusiast and know fully well all the wonders and struggles of learning a new language. But fear not! It is all just a game.😉Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I find that the most effective way to learn a language is to fully immerse oneself in the local culture. Although grammar is a ~boring~ but necessary part of any language learning process, listening and speaking are just as important, if not even more so.
I have been teaching Greek and Serbian for more than two years.
My Greek classes are a perfect fit for beginners and intermediate students, as I have learned the language myself and know a perfect way to get you out of the trenches. 😎 My Serbian classes are better suited for advanced students who are looking for conversational classes. However, I offer beginner levels as well, and I use a special beginner-friendly book.My lessons & teaching style
In my Greek classes, depending on which type you choose, we will focus on all the difficult aspects of grammar, and you will get plenty of worksheets and homework to help you better understand the structure of the language. If you find grammar boring, you can always choose a more relaxed - conversation-based class where we'll focus on listening and reading.
As for my Serbian classes, I offer both conversational as well as structured, grammar-driven classes. I firmly believe that the only way for someone to master a new language is by carefully choosing the right way to do so, instead of blindly sticking to old-fashioned "rules". So, together we will customize the classes to suit your needs!My teaching material

Nevena is a fantastic teacher! She's engaged, committed, and extremely flexible - she's willing and able to work in different ways with different students, and adapt seamlessly to different personality. Beyond that, she's just plain fun to work with. I can't recommend her too highly!

Nevena is extremely encouraging and responsive, which is especially helpful during conversation practice. Since she learned Greek as a foreign language, she has a wealth of insight and many recommendations for that process. I can practically feel myself making progress as we talk 😄. I 100% recommend taking lessons with her.

Nevena is an exceptional Modern Greek teacher whose expertise in the morphology and syntax of the language is unparalleled. Her passion for philology and the scientific study of language is evident in every interaction. What truly sets Nevena apart is her dynamic approach to teaching. She consistently finds innovative ways to engage and stimulate interest, making each lesson not only informative but also incredibly captivating. Her ability to involve me in the learning process in a stimulating manner is commendable. As a student, I feel privileged to learn from her. Nevena is more than just a teacher; she is a mentor who inspires and encourages her students to excel in their studies. Her dedication and commitment to teaching are truly praiseworthy. Anyone looking to delve into the depths of Modern Greek would be fortunate to have Nevena as their guide
