About Me
italki teacher since May 21, 2021Interest topicReadingArtMusic
My name is Danica, and I am 28 years old. I was born in Serbia, where I currently reside. My passions are languages, and I graduated in Italian language and literature from the Faculty of Languages in my hometown. Additionally, during my studies, I had the opportunity to spend a year in Rome, which significantly improved my communication skills. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life and contributed to my growth in every aspect, particularly enhancing my language skills. I am a very sociable person, open-minded, creative, spontaneous, and always eager to make new friendships. I am inspired by meeting new people and visiting new places. I love dancing, music, books, and running.Me as a Teacher
During my studies, I had the opportunity to teach English and Italian to students. I am very patient and always open to appreciating the opinions of my students, aiming to help and teach them in an interesting way. I don't like strictly adhering to a predetermined curriculum, as it can be boring. Instead, I always try to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. For example, if they want to improve their conversation skills, our focus would be on that, etc.
This year, I passed an international English exam - FCE, so I am continually improving my language skills and endeavor to share my knowledge with my students.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are always diverse. I consistently incorporate audio files and prioritize allowing students to speak more than me. Each new lesson differs from the previous one. Initially, I like to assess the student's language level and preferences to tailor my lessons accordingly. It's crucial for me to review all important points covered in the previous lesson. In my view, the importance of repetition cannot be overstated. At the conclusion of each lesson, I inquire if the student requires further clarification on any topic and assign homework because it's vital for them to work and think independently. I'm looking forward to meet you!My teaching material

Teaching experience

It was a really great experience because most of the students were beginners, and there were a lot of Italian students who wanted to learn English. For me, it was one of my first experiences in teaching, and it was so valuable and stimulating.

Bachelor’s - BachelorI spent a year at La Sapienza University in Rome, where I completed my third year of undergraduate studies. My time in Rome and attending classes there greatly improved my language and communication skills and contributed to my understanding of the dialect and slang in the country. I had direct exposure to Italian culture, customs, and people, and at the university, I had the opportunity to learn from the best linguistics professors.

I enjoyed studying Italian with Danica! She was supportive, helped me with my awful pronunciation and taught me many new words. I am looking forward to our next lesson.

Danica is a really suppletive tutor, she recently started at Italki but during our lesson she showed me how experienced she is. Her perfect Italian, Serbian and English are very helpful when communicating and explaining things I didn’t understand. She is full of energy and I can tell she will do great during her time at Italki. I totally recommend you taking lessons with her and you will not regret. Her lessons are focused on each student and her flexibility makes it easier to adjust to your needs. Thank you 😊
