University of Toronto graduate, BS. Animal lover, anime fan, and a huge nerd when it comes to games! Hello! My name is Stanislav, but everyone calls me Stan. I am a 50-year-old teacher from Bosnia, married, a father, a war veteran, and a Bachelor of Science graduate from the University of Toronto. I have been using English for well over 30 years, not only as a language, but as a tool for thinking, learning, teaching, and arguing politely — most of the time. My background is a bit unusual. I am a computer engineer by trade, I also have a welder’s license, worked as an archivist, and served in the military. Because of that, I bring real-life experience, discipline, humor, and patience into my lessons. I love cats, dogs, gaming, music, movies, anime, reading, and learning new things. As a teacher, I believe in clear explanations, critical thinking, and step-by-step progress. Students do not become fluent by magic. They improve by trying, making mistakes, asking questions, correcting those mistakes, and trying again. My job is to guide that process calmly and patiently. My students often describe me as kind, funny, patient, and easy to talk to. I enjoy interactive lessons with real conversation, useful vocabulary, honest opinions, and questions that make students think. However, I can also be structured and “old school” when needed: grammar, textbooks, exercises, correction, and repetition. My goal is simple: to help you become more confident, more precise, and more natural in English — one useful step at a time.

I’ve been taking lessons with Stanislav for more than a year and my speaking confidence has improved so much. I used to be super anxious about making mistakes, but he creates such a friendly and relaxed environment that I actually look forward to our further conversations. Thanks a lot for the interesting lessons!

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.

Stanislav is a wonderful teacher! Our lessons are called "Discussions about weekly topics and news," and this format suits me perfectly. He always offers several articles to choose from, so we never run out of interesting topics. After just a few lessons, we built a great atmosphere where we can freely jump from world politics to video games =) Stanislav is interested in so many things that everyone can find something to talk about with him. What I appreciate most is how he adapts the conversation to my interests and always has something to add. He is also very punctual and charismatic. Thanks to him, I've noticed real progress: I can now start a conversation on any topic without hesitation. If you're looking for speaking practice at any level, I can't recommend Stanislav enough!

Stan is a great tutor from whom you can learn a lot (culture, art, science, history, and geopolitics). He’s flexible in his teaching style, and you can make the classes very dynamic if you want. Conversations with him are very enjoyable and help non-native speakers gain confidence in English. Finally, I’d like to say that Stan is a great friend with whom you can enjoy learning every aspect of English. PD: From a Mexican student 🟩⬜🟥
