During this period, I have been working as an English language teacher in the
following schools in Belgrade: Hola,
Softline, Link Group, Bejza, O(p)stanak, Alfabeto, Swanbell.
In Hola School, I was
the initiator and the teacher of conversational course in English language. I
provided a wide variety of interesting topics, encouraged students to talk and
communicate while having fun.
For the past 10 years, I have been working as a freelance Serbian
and English language teacher. I have been organising lessons in person or via
Skype. Also, I have been translating English to Serbian and vice versa. I have
also been editing and proofreading Serbian language texts.
PROJECT:
I have written an introductory level booklet –
Serbian Language for Complete Beginners. By working with all the
wonderful people and listening to their needs, I have completed an introductory
level booklet for learning Serbian as a foreign language. This manual
represents the foundation for further advancement in learning. Using it,
students are able to understand how Serbian language works, and use that basic
knowledge in their further progress. Each new topic is explained in a simple
way, gradually introducing new information. All aspects of the language are
used equally: vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading, writing and listening. As
much as learning new things is important, so is constant revision and
repetition, aspects this booklet pays special attention to.
PERSONALITY:
Teaching
children and adults is both my calling and my passion. I believe in constant
improvement, therefore, at the moment I am learning to take TKT exam. I enjoy
in constantly finding new techniques in teaching, so that I could better
present the languages to others.
