Although Great Britain is in my heart, I have to say Italy is my favourite country.
I've visited many places there and I speak decent Italian, but I can also speak a bit of French.
I'm passionate about my job and working with people from all over the world to help them achieve their dreams.
I believe we should never stop learning and setting new goals.
Me as a Teacher
Hi everyone! My name is Duška and I'm a native Serbian.
I'm a certified CELTA teacher. I got my teaching qualifications in London where I had the opportunity to teach students from all over the world.
I work at a private English language school where I mostly prepare students for Cambridge exams, but I also have a lot of experience in teaching English to business people
I'm dedicated, patient and adaptive and I'm sure you will enjoy learning English with me.
Buongiorno! Sono Duska e sono Serba.
Sono un'insegnante CELTA certificata. Amo il mio lavoro e ne sono molto dedita. Sono sicura che vi piacerà imparare l'inglese con me!
My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to get familiar with my students' goals and interests so that I can create a plan for our lessons.
I will discuss your goals with you, check your level of English and will work on building your confidence together with you.
I can help you prepare for your Cambridge exam, improve your grammar and vocabulary, or we can just talk so that you become more confident and relaxed when you speak English.
I use online resources, various pdf material and official exam preparation material.
I will design our classes so that you get the most of them and still have fun :-)

Teacher’s pick
As a teacher, she's serious when I need to get back on track, and gently reassuring when I am going out on a limb. I couldn't recommend her any more.
The classes are full of colorful insights. She opens up a language and culture full of historic and social depth that remind me of turning corners in a small historic city. In the short time learning with her I've become very comfortable speaking -- even knowing i'm making mistakes -- and I feel she has set the perfect atmosphere to learn and practice.

I have been taking Serbian lessons with Duška for 2 years. At first, I was nervous about learning the language, but she had a way of putting me at ease. Duška is a wonderful teacher who is patient, kind, and likeable. Above all, her lessons are fun and interactive. What I like most about her lessons is the flexibility. Lessons are tailored to my needs; thus, setting me up for success. I always look forward to our lessons! I highly recommend Duška to anyone who is looking to learn Serbian :)

I am very grateful to Duška for her lessons. I've realized that I can speak Serbian, gained motivation and confidence, but not only that! Not only did I start speaking, but I also received a lot of recommendations for Serbian movies and books. Hvala!

She is warm, friendly and approachable as well as professional and dependable. Overall, she's not just a wonderful teacher but a lovely person. I genuinely always look forward to our lessons. I highly recommend her! Hvala ti puno Duška! :)
