Hello everyone, my name is Jelena and I am native Serbian speaker. I studied Spanish language and Hispanic literatures at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, with English as my second foreign language. I have been working as a translator/intepreter for 6.5 years and as home-based teacher for more than 10 years! Three years ago I began teaching English online, and after that Spanish and Serbian languages as well. I have been teaching Serbian for 12 years, and I had all types of students, so either you want to learn Serbian for fun, pleasure or for business, I am waiting for you! If you wish to learn English with me, I am at your disposal as well. See you soon! :)

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am kind, charismatic and energetic, but don't let my friendly approach leads you in the wrong direction. I want you to work with me, so if I spent some of my time preparing lesson for you, I expect you to repeat it in the meantime and do your homework accordingly. Overall, there will be no tension between us, I am very pleasant person, but please do your best to keep your progress at a certain level, so that you can improve your language skills.
My lessons & teaching style
Serbian lessons consist of all types of materials: audio recordings, written texts, images, homework assigments, exercises, news articles, etc. If you have never learnt Serbian before, we will start with the alphabet, move on to basic greetings and phrases, and, as time goes by, we will focus mostly on your conversation skills. However, that doesn't mean that we will neglect other skills - we will just try to make you speak Serbian as soon as possible. :) The same goes with English lessons - if you are a beginner, we will start from the very beginning, and if you are intermediate student, we will do our best to improve your English skills and take them to advanced level. :)

Would highly recommend Jelena. She sent me some materials even before our first lesson, customized the lesson to my needs, covered some grammar topics in addition to conversational practice and also gave some helpful language learning tips.
Hvala i vidimo se :)
