Hello! My name is Stanislav, Stan for short. I am a 48-year-old male from Bosnia, married for over 2 decades and counting, 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 :)
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching online for a couple of years and I have a lot of experience with all types of students be they beginners, intermediate or proficient. I am not used to working with small children online, so ages of 10 and above are preferred.
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!

After more than 20 lessons with Stan, I can say that he is a wonderful teacher, professional, and dedicated to helping his students progress. He is very open-minded and always ready to talk about various topics. He has a great sense of communication and easily steers the discussion to create "teachable moments."

Stan is really smart and funny. He knows a lot and I like his class. I think his class is good for people who want to talk and learn about many things. Thank you, Stan! I'm excited for the next class

Great lesson, as always.
Stan identifies my areas of improvements better than I do, and I really feel myself guided in the right direction.
Learning a language while speaking a different one for 99% of your time is not an easy task: if you want to bring the best out of your effort, definitely go with Stan!
