Hi! I’m Niki, a passionate and friendly German & Croatian tutor who loves helping students feel confident and comfortable speaking. I believe language learning should be practical, enjoyable, and personalized. That’s why I tailor every lesson to your level, interests, and goals—meeting you exactly where you are. My goal is to help you feel comfortable speaking from day one.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, reading, cooking, yoga, and meditation, and I love learning about practical neuroscience (I’m a fan of Dr. Andrew Huberman’s content 🤓).
Since 2021, I’ve been settled in beautiful Bavaria, Germany, and I absolutely love it here—my family is close by, and the breathtaking nature

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I’m supportive, adaptable and patient. My approach is focused on building your confidence from day one, so you feel inspired to practice and improve.
Speaking is like any other skill – the more you practice it - the better. I help students understand grammar clearly, and use natural vocabulary and expression. Many of my students say they feel more confident speaking after just a few lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
With lessons tailored to your needs, you’ll start speaking in no time - even with little or no prior knowledge. You’ll receive your own Google Sheet with personalized homework assignments to complement what we cover in each lesson. It will also give you an overview of new vocabulary introduced in class, plus links to helpful resources such as books, music, podcasts, and relaxation or meditation exercises since we learn better when we are relaxed.
If you’re looking for a tutor who is encouraging, well-prepared, and genuinely invested in your progress, I’d love to meet you - book a trial lesson and let’s start or continue your language journey together 🦋 🥳

Nikolina’s lessons are great, the small group setting works well because we all get to speak some but you also get to practice listening.

We want our kids to learn the skills of building sentences. Nikolina is the right teacher to teach this skill. Though conversation, she patiently builds sentences together with the kids, and gradually massages in grammar contents and new vocabularies. We are very happy with her teaching skills and her patience. We are also happy with the progresses from the kids.
