About Me
italki teacher since Jun 15, 2020InterestsAnimation & ComicsArtTravelMusicEnvironment & Nature
Skilled and dynamic owner and manager of very successful people-oriented business, self-employed for past 13 years and working in Tourism and Hospitality.
Ready to utilise my skills and passion in creating a ground for students to grow and learn, not only new languages, but also mindful ways of living and relating to self and others.
Love travelling and learning new cultures. Travelled through most part of Europe, SI Asia, South America and the Middle East.
Enjoy nature, picking mushrooms and edible plants. Production of olive oil - I'm an owner of a small olive farm.Me as a Teacher
I have a neutral and clear accent. You will have no problem following my words and I can be of great help in cracking pronunciation! We will also check right from the start that the speed of conversation suits your preferences.
I am happy to work with students on all levels and I will customize my lessons according to your needs. You are of course welcome to provide your material as well.
I am hoping you will perceive me as a friendly and supportive teacher from our very first session and that you will feel a natural flow of communication between equally motivated participants. I will do my best to recognize and support your efforts and to build new knowledge from there.My lessons & teaching style
During a trial lesson we will discuss your needs and motivations when it comes to improving the language and we'll come up with a plan that works for you. I will show you (and share with you❣ ) course materials and you will know the overall direction of the course.
During our lessons I am more than happy to correct any of your errors regarding grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure and pronunciation.
Also, I will be as understanding as possible regarding any issues about not showing up to the first class -we are all humans and unexpected situations can happen to anyone!My teaching material

Marija is a fantastic Croatian teacher. From the very first lesson, she quickly understood how I learn best. She gives great explanations and appreciates the challenges of learning a language so different from English. Our lessons have become one of the highlights of my week. She is kind and patient, and happy to answer any questions I have. Marija always seems to know just how much to challenge me. Even if I’m not feeling confident, she gently pushes me beyond what I think I can do, and I often end up surprising myself. I've made so much progress over the past few months and my confidence has grown. Marija’s lessons are always well structured, interesting and fun. She has such a warm personality and a great sense of humour - our lessons fly by and always leave me wanting to learn more!

Lessons with Marija are thought provoking and open to a deeper analysis of the world around us. Allowing a learning of a language and culture of a higher standard and at the same time, stimulating the senses in our otherwise mundane lives. Bravo Marija!

After years of taking language classes, I can confidently say that Marija is the only teacher I genuinely look forward to learning with. Her lessons feel like conversations with a close friend, creating a relaxed and supportive environment that makes learning enjoyable.
From day one, my confidence in speaking Croatian skyrocketed, and I’ve made more progress with her than in any course I’ve taken before.
She truly deserves all the recognition.
Hvala na svemu, Marija!

I have had conversation lessons with Marija for nearly two years now. As I live abroad and not in my home country a person who has also lived abroad - like Marija - will understand automatically what it means if you come to a new country. The challenges of the language, the customs and traditions, basically the culture. Apart from living abroad she has travelled widely which is an additional asset because it enriches our conversations when looking at Croatia because we are able to employ that outside look. Moreover, Marija is a resident in one area of Croatia, but originally stems from another area. This is very useful because it provides surprising insights. For me as someone who has roots in Croatia, but never has lived there this is a definite bonus because you can get to know different parts of the country in one person. If you are looking for an open-minded person with whom you can talk about almost anything then Marija is the perfect choice.
