About Me
italki teacher since Mar 7, 2018Interest topicMusicTravelPets & Animals
Hi everybody!!! I can't wait to meet you in class! My name is Mina and I live in a small town in Serbia. Living here has been a blessing for me because I simply adore nature and all it has to offer. The majestic Danube River has been my go-to spot for many years. Camping is one of my all-time favorite outdoor activities, and the destination- Greece!!! I love watching Forrest Gump, Friends and HIMYM. I'd like to hear more about your story :)Me as a Teacher
I am a professional English teacher, I have an MA in English, a TEFL certification, and many years of teaching experience under my belt, 8 of which are online. Students I taught in four private language schools have varied from kids to adults. All types of students are interesting in their own way. Beginners are rewarding to work with since their progress is the most evident after a certain time, advanced students make the teachers see that what we do, can effectively change lives.My lessons & teaching style
I like to get familiar with my student's interests and create a study plan based on that. Usually, I use various online articles and exercises, book and short story sections to work on expanding vocabulary. Grammar practice can be boring, I know, so I try to incorporate it into other activities as much as possible.
Test preparation is easier when you have someone experienced to help you. I was in charge of CAE/ FCE/ IELTS prep classes in a language school I worked for, so I can introduce you to how it all works.
As for my informal lessons, I usually choose a different topic each time and build a conversation around it, allowing YOU to speak as much as possible. See you in class ;)My teaching material

I have never had so much happiness and pleasure learning other languages as while learning Serbian.
Mina is amazing. She has her own method and path of teaching and I just rely on her in that journey which has proven to be efficient as I can now communicate in Serbian if people don't speak English. I feel more confident now, despite that the language isn't always easy for me to learn.

Mina is one of the best teacher that I ever known. She is prepared and attentive, but what I like more is that she is enthusiastic and passionate about teaching english. She loves her job. I like to spent my time with her because she's a nice, easy-going person. I feel at easy and relaxed during our lessons. I surely will take other lessons with her.
