Здраво! I’m Jovan, a linguist, polyglot, and your guide to mastering Macedonian.
I’ve guided learners across the globe, weaving clear grammar instruction with rich cultural narratives that transform each lesson into an engaging and unforgettable experience.
My academic roots in English and Russian studies sharpen explanations, while my love for heritage ensures lessons feel alive rather than mechanical.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining fluency, I adapt to your pace with flexible support. Together, we’ll make Macedonian not just a language you learn, but a home you experience.

P.S. In Skopje? Coffee’s on me! let’s connect!
I’ve been teaching on Italki since 2017, sharing Macedonian with students worldwide. In 2019, I earned a degree in English language and literature, and in 2023, I completed a bachelor’s in Russian language and literature.
My academic path has always centered on language instruction, with a strong focus on teaching methods, practical strategies, and adapting lessons to different learning styles. This training allows me to guide students through challenges with clarity and confidence, helping them reach their goals step by step.
With the right balance of structure and creativity, I’ll help you not only learn Macedonian but truly enjoy the journey of making it part of your life.
I am very adaptable to the rhythm of learning, and I'm open to all the suggestions by the student on how we should conduc...My teaching material

Russian language for foreigners (RKI) - Russkiy Mir Foundation at UKIM - 2022The seminar was organized by the Russian cultural center part of the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, North Macedonia. It was led by the linguist Yulia Aleksandrovna Mareeva, which is known for her work in the field of teaching Russian as a foreign language. This seminar allowed me to gain knowledge of the main differences and problems that Russophones face while learning Macedonian and vice versa, and how to avoid them while teaching the two languages.

Education
2016 - 2019
Bachelor’s - English Language and LiteratureMy Bachelor's Degree consists of a three year study at the University of Rouen, Normandy. The studies were comprised of courses where we were thought both grammar and writing, translation, civilization (history) of English-speaking countries and above all a big accent fell on literature. A big help were also the conversation-comprehension classes where we spend hours talking and discussing on wide topics such as books, movies and articles, which helped us to further improve our skills.

Learning Macedonian with Jovan, through reading about Macedonian culture, watching videos in Macedonian language, learning vocabulary from the scripts and the amount of speaking we do, really contribute on my improvement of the language.

Имам земено многу лекции со Јован во текот на скоро две години и тој многу ми помогна значително да го подобрам мојот македонски. Би го препорачал на секој што сака да го учи јазикот!
