About Me
italki teacher since Sep 17, 2014Interest topicMusicSports & FitnessReading
I am a language teacher but I am also a student of spanish and french. I like sports (more watching than parcticing:-)). I like music and films too (especially the old ones), and most of all I like reading. I adore travelling and I travel a lot and meet many people worldwide so I am opened to all types of personalities and ways of teaching. I am flexible and willing to work with you in accordance with all your needs including the rescheduling of your lessons any time you need to... regardless the hours you've already scheduled. Looking forward to meet as many people as possible not only here on the site but worldwide.
Me as a Teacher
Hello everybody. My name is Ivana. I am from Serbia. I know it might be "not so much attractive" to hear that someone is from Serbia or another Balkan country but the best thing about this is that I can teach you serbian, croatian, bosnian, montenegrian:-). I would say these languages are all the same with small regional differences and it is a kind of political issue that we all call it differently. I know that many people prefer native speakers, but it can sometimes be tricky. The native speakers are good teachers only if they are foreign langauge teachers, believe me. I also teach latin and italian so I think I could be a good choice for you:-)My lessons & teaching style
My teaching is not something I can describe exactly. I think I'm a good language teacher. I've learned many languages and I understand perfectly how the foreigner's brain works while adopting a new language. I teach latin and italian. Both teaching and learning have helped me to understand what the students' biggest problems are while learning a new language. That's why I think native speakers are not necesserly good teachers. I think there is a big difference between you, being a native speaker who teaches something you might think you know and you, teaching as an experienced language teacher in general. So pick a trial with me. You won't regret.My teaching material

Today we went over some more dialogues, and I learned some new constructions to say "while doing something" or "after doing something." There is always something new to learn, and Ivana always has the perfect lessons to teach me.

Ivana is excellent Italian teacher. She is enthusiastic, dedicated, and she was able to answer all of the questions I had with regard to pronunciation, writing and grammar. After completing just one session, I felt like knowing 50 percent of Italian language.

I love her lessons a lot. She is always encouraging, is very knowledgable about the language, is a very flexible and kind person, and somehow always manages to make the very difficult language more manageable and approachable. She is great at explaining grammar and vocabulary. Looking forward to meeting you many more times in the future!
