Hi, I’m Niki - passionate and friendly tutor who helps people feel confident and comfortable speaking German & Croatian. Language learning should be practical, enjoyable and fun. With my lessons tailored to your level, interests, and goals you'll feel comfortable speaking from day one.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading, cooking, doing yoga and meditation.
Since 2021, I’ve been settled in beautiful Bavaria, Germany, and I absolutely love it here—my family is close by, as well as the breathtaking nature.
As a teacher I’m supportive, adaptable and patient. My approach is focused on building your confidence, so you feel inspired to practice (on your own as well) and improve.
Speaking is like any other skill – the more you practice it - the better you become at it. I help students understand grammar clearly, and use natural vocabulary and expression. Many of my students say they feel confident speaking after just a few lessons.
With lessons tailored to your needs, you’ll start speaking in no time - even with little or no prior knowledge. You’ll receive your own Google Sheet with personalized homework assignments to complement what we cover in each lesson. It will also give you an overview of new vocabulary introduced in class, plus links to helpful resources such as books, music, podcasts, and relaxation or meditation exercises since we learn better when we are relaxed.

Nikolina is an excellent Croatian teacher! She is patient, well-prepared, and very good at explaining grammar in a clear and practical way. She adapts lessons to my level and focuses on the areas where I need the most improvement, especially speaking and sentence structure.
Her corrections are precise and helpful, and she always gives useful examples that make it easier to remember and apply what I learn. The lessons are structured but still relaxed, which makes it easy to stay motivated and consistent.
I would highly recommend Nikolina to anyone who wants to improve their Croatian, whether you are a beginner or at an intermediate level.

We want our kids to learn the skills of building sentences. Nikolina is the right teacher to teach this skill. Though conversation, she patiently builds sentences together with the kids, and gradually massages in grammar contents and new vocabularies. We are very happy with her teaching skills and her patience. We are also happy with the progresses from the kids.

First and foremost, I would stress the relaxed nature of the class. Nikolina already advertises this point, but it definitely is a great starting point. Next, her tips help to frame my approach. Finally, the dialogue scenarios helped to challenge and reinforce my existing knowledge and boost my confidence. I whole heartedly recommend Nikolina.

I just finished a two-week German Intensive Course with Nikolina.
When I started, I can safely say that I knew nothing of the German language. Now, I feel that I have enough of a base to continue building and advancing in my German studies.
The class itself primarily focused on grammar and sentence order. This is important because I really needed this foundation to continue moving forward. Nikolina is really knowledgeable when it comes to the German language and its grammar. I look forward to taking the next class!
Danke schön, Nikolina! :)

First and foremost, Nikolina provides a framework. As it is labeled, it's a relaxed approach to learning. Honestly, my week was a bit challenging and this course is a like a small oasis of calm. Of course, I'm challenged in terms of sentence formulations and word retrieval, but that's what makes the exchange fun. Futhermore, the specific tips that were discussed will definitely improve my expressive abilities. Once again, I love the engaging approach and look forward to my next lesson.

The first point to appreciate is the tone. Upon starting the lesson, Nikolina's voice and style are both calm and reassuring. Personally, these are qualities I find integral to a quality class. Next, she listens and provides the necessary interjections only as needed. My attempts to maintain a rhythm and flow were not disrupted. Finally, the class notes helped to reinforce the highlights from the lesson. I really appreciated the class and feel my confidence and level will improve with Nikolina's guidance.
