About Me
italki teacher since Apr 15, 2020
Hi! My name is Aleksandra and I live in San Diego, California. I have 2 dogs and in my free time, I like to go out for walks on the beach with them and my daughter. During this time of health crisis, I spend a lot of time cooking and reading.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English for over 20 years, and Macedonian and Serbian for about 5 years. My classes are student centered, so my priority is to assess what the students need and what their learning style is. Once I find out what is important for the students, I tailor my lessons to them and personalize my instruction. The most important factor for me in learning languages is to enjoy and have fun during the process.
My lessons & teaching style
I believe that variety is very important when planning my lessons, so you will never be bored. I teach general English, academic English, IELTS, TOEFL, essay-writing, grammar, and giving oral presentations.

I have so much fun learning Serbo-Croatian with Dr. Nikolova! Her classes are highly engaging, and always conducted with good humor and an easy-going style. She's very understated - from time to time, her incredible knowledge and skill make modest appearances between the hilarious jokes and delightful games and exercises.

I just had my first class with Dr. Aleks. She is the English teacher that I’m looking for. The class was fun and educational. I learnt new vocabulary, practiced pronunciation, and learnt how to use conjunction to make longer sentences. It was a wonderful class. I am looking forward to studying with her soon.
