About Me
italki teacher since Jun 21, 2021InterestsTechPets & AnimalsReadingFilms & TV SeriesGaming
Hello! My name is Stanislav, Stan for short. I am a 50-year-old male from Bosnia, married for over 2 decades and counting, war veteran, Bachelor of Science from Toronto U, speaking English for well over 30 years now. I am passionate about cats & dogs, gaming, music, movies, and anime. I love reading, and learning new things - I am a computer engineer by trade, but I got a welder's license as well, and have worked as an archivist for few years in addition to my military background so you can see I have a wide spectrum of interests :) I thoroughly appreciate critical thinking and am trying to teach my students to do the same!Me as a Teacher
Highly dedicated and experienced educator with a Bachelor of Science degree, specializing in teaching English at the B1-C1 proficiency level. Known for a charismatic, patient, and humorous teaching style that fosters a dynamic learning environment. Strong communicator, motivating students to improve their language skills through engaging and thoughtful lessons. A champion of slow and steady progress, always encouraging students to take the first step in their learning journey. My lessons & teaching style
I am a patient and kind type (so my students tell me!) - my greatest joy is when students actually ASK me questions (that means that they are awake, as well :P ). I enjoy interacting with people, and interactive style suits me best, but of course, I can be "old school" and stick to the book, if that is what is required!

Stan is a highly professional teacher. He has a great sense of humor that makes learning both enjoyable and memorable. I’ve learned a lot from him, not only about the language, but also through the fascinating stories he shares.
Chatting with him is always a rewarding experience, and I strongly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their English

Stan is a unique teacher; he is both charismatic and funny. He has shown me how much fun learning languages can be. Thanks to him, I have discovered a new interest in reading books, which allows me to improve my reading skills outside the classroom.

I can’t recommend my English teacher highly enough. He has an exceptional ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and practical way, always adapting the lessons to real-life situations. His teaching style is engaging, structured, and motivating, which makes learning English both effective and enjoyable.
What truly sets him apart is his patience, professionalism, and genuine interest in his students’ progress. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve gained confidence, improved my fluency, and developed a much more natural way of expressing myself in English.

I used to sample different teachers, but these days I just keep taking Stan's class (and only one other). What differentiates his class is the trending materials he brings. Materials usually consist of some interesting news articles and videos. Talking about them sometimes can be challenging, but it is better than generic, dull textbooks. They're especially great for extra vocabulary & reading practice. Plus, the class is flexible enough to chat about things outside of the materials 🙂

Conversations with Stanislav are very interesting and informative. He is understanding of mistakes made, which increases my confidence to communicate in English. In addition, very diverse topics are selected for classes, which make it possible to develop my vocabulary and learn a lot of new things
