Hi, I'm Mirjana and by profession and by calling as well I'm a teacher of foreign languages and a linguist :)

I've been teaching foreign languages for 10 years now (since I was 18) and I have a significant experience in non-formal education techniques, which is something I incorporate in every single one of my classes.

I have a B.A in Philosophy and Letters and PGCE in Education.

I used to teach Literature, History and Philosophy in Spain. l moved to London in 2012 and I I began tutoring Spanish in 2015 and enhanced my knowledge of the Spanish GCSE and A-levels exam board requirements and methodology..

I have taught a number of Spanish GCSE and A-level students who have subsequently successfully achieved top grades in their language exams.

I teach all ages and all levels since 4 till 99 years old. and l have experience with Adults, Early years, Corporate lessons and Online.

Nowadays, I know how hard it can seem for an adult or teenager to learn a new and completely different language. But with the right approach, it can be easy to learn and love a foreign language and culture! Whether you want to get ready for an exam (A2 - B1 - B2 - C1 - C2) or you want to learn a new language for fun, I can help you to succeed!

Spanish is the second language in terms of the number of native speakers, just behind Mandarin Chinese. It is also the mother tongue for twenty nationalities in America, Europe, and Africa.
It is also quite similar to Italian or Portuguese, so it might help you to reach some understanding of those languages.
I ́ve been studying English and French at school for a number of years, so I can perfectly get on students ́ shoes.

Language coaching is similar to any other coaching situation like in sports, singing, acting: it helps create training situations, offer feedback, provide encouragement and give direction to help facilitate the most effective and efficient learning experience for each individual.
As a language coach, my role is to assist you with your needs in:
-Planning.
-Assessment.
-Encouragement.
-Ideas.
-Resources.
-Techniques.

If you are just starting your love affair with the French language, or wanting to refresh your vocab and conversational skills, I am happy to offer support, guidance, tips and tricks in getting you ready to sit that final exam or confident enough to <<faire vos bagages>> and use your French to travel again.

I have an Honours' degree in French Language and Literature and have spent the last 25 years travelling, visiting and living in French-speaking countries the world over.

I am happy to tailor class content and duration to suit you - ensuring you get the exact outcome you are looking for.

French GCSE can be challenging for a variety of reasons: tricky vocab, little time spent on irregular verbs at school and extremely particular pronunciation.

I'm here to meet your French GCSE needs.

As a speaker of four languages I make references between French and other languages to make learning no slog but a memorable hour (or two).
