Do you want to learn Slovak? Do you wish to find a teacher, that can understand what you need and adapt the lessons, so they work for YOU? I have plenty of experience with all kinds of learners from all different cultures. I graduated from Slovak language and literature and have been teaching foreigners since.
I also love literature and translated a book from English to Slovak. Languages are my lifelong hobby - I have been learning German and French.
Apart from reading, I love traveling, spending time outdoors, mountain biking or just cycling with my little girls, doing fitness or swimming. I have been that sporty only in the last couple of years, the older I am, the less lazy I am.:)
Me as a Teacher
I have been working on my teaching for 15 years now:) and I know there is always something to improve even with an experienced teacher - I follow blogs, read articles on the topic and try to work on my techniques.
One of my students told me, that he can see, that I love what I am doing, so I hope, that you get the same impression:)
My lessons & teaching style
Speaking is the most important part of my language training. That is something which you really can´t do on your own. It can be fun with a teacher, with whom you ,click´.
When you speak, you need to listen too- and understand it:)- you can practice that with me and on your own - with my tips and guidance.
Grammar will be in our focus based on what you expect and need. Language drills are also great when you want to succeed. Grammar exercises are best done as homework and when problems occur, I help.
I definitely don´t want to waste your time reading long articles - you can do that alone and we can talk about that later. However, reading and practicing dialogues work.

Every Slovak lesson with Martina is both very informative and fun! I'm a heritage speaker of Slovak (that has not spoken in many years) so it's hard to find Slovak content that helps me through my problem areas without having to go through a lot of basics and Martina's lessons have been perfect for that! She has been really flexible with the pacing and content of my lessons to tailor them to exactly my needs! I've also just enjoyed chatting with her in Slovak, we have fun conversations and she always makes me feel very comfortable :) Ďakujem, Martina!!!

Writing in English for the ones who wants to begin learning Slovak but doesn’t know where to start.
Martina is a great educator with a brilliant ability to adjust het teaching style to the individual needs of every student. Free to go through and talk about a broad range of topics, she makes the process of learning smooth and enjoyable. Highly advised for anyone who would like to learn Slovak or already made some steps along the path and now seeks more guidance.
Ďakujem veľmi pekne Martina, veľmi sa mi páčia naše hodiny slovenčiny!

I really like Martina's cheerful and patient teaching style. She teaches the difficult grammar professionally and responds flexibly to the student's needs. You get lots of tips on various apps, podcasts, websites, etc.
Conversations about interesting topics are particularly valuable to me. This is how I learn a lot about the country and its people.
