Nevena

Nevena is, quite simply, the best language teacher I've ever had in my life - and I've studied many languages with many teachers. Of course, she has a deep knowledge of Serbian (and I'm sure Greek) grammar and vocabulary, and can answer even very complex or detailed questions. But what really sets Nevena apart isn't just her knowledge. It's her flexibility, her kindness, and her clear concern for her students. I have my own way of learning. Rather than trying to fit me into her style, Nevena has helped me hone my own approach and encouraged me in my own interests in the language. She is also an extremely kind person, and that comes through in every lesson. She is clearly committed to helping me (and I'm sure all her students) reach their goals in difficult languages. Finally? Nevena is fun. She's got great energy, every lesson, every day. I look forward to each lesson. If you're looking to learn Serbian or Greek, I don't think you'll find a better, more committed teacher.

Excellent teacher. Knows when to slow down, how to explain concepts, work through pronunciation, and how to make words memorable.

Nevena is super great! She's patient, very knowledgeable, and helps you every bit of the way. I definitely have noticed that I've improved on my Greek because of her.

Nevena continues to support my language-learning with her effective, well-structured lessons. Her explanations of the grammar and lexicon, especially, include helpful cultural contexts that strengthen my sense of immediacy and engagement with the Greek language and its speakers. Each time we meet, I am reminded of the reasons that I began learning Greek in the first place and what compels me to keep going 🌅.

Now that I’ve had 50 Serbian lessons, I think it is time for a well-deserved review. For over a year now, Nevena has been teaching me Serbian from complete beginner to basic conversational. She is always prepared and always full of energy, even though I am mostly the last student of the day. It is impressive, how she manages to tailor to her students needs and keeps track with their process. She is also very encouraging and supportive throughout the lessons, when I struggle with something, she is right there to help me. Overall, I have only had good experiences with Nevena, she is kind, interactive, fun but also very professional. She is truly the best language teacher I have ever had! Highly recommend! :)

Incredible teacher that really cares about your progress.
