I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

I am native German and I can teach my language in all levels, for children and adults. More than ten years of experience. My focus is the grammar and the conversation. German has a lot of grammar and I always try to teach how the language works and how german people actually speak it, not only how to follow the rules. We'd do a lot of speaking, exercices, games or interactive activities. Depending on your level, there are also lessons in german history, german politics and differences between german, austrian or swiss german.

Hi everyone!

I’m from Poland and I’m a huge foreign-language enthusiast. Learning languages is one of my biggest hobbies, and I spend a lot of my free time studying and practicing them. I’ve already had the opportunity to teach some students in Poland, and now I’d love to teach people from Zagreb as well — or anyone interested in learning via webcam!

I’d be happy to help you learn or improve any of the following languages:

German — C1 level, confirmed by a Goethe-Zertifikat. I also have 1.5 years of experience living and communicating in a German-speaking environment.

English — C1 level. I studied Biomedical Engineering in English and I’m also a member of ESN, a student organization where communicating with exchange students from all over the world is an important part of what we do.

Russian — C1 level. In high school, I was preparing for the Russian Language Olympiad, which was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Italian — B2 level. I’m currently working towards taking the C1 Italian exam in 2027.

Polish - my native language!

If you’re interested in learning a language, improving your speaking skills, or simply having someone to practice with, feel free to message me! I’d be happy to tell you more about how I teach and arrange a lesson:)

Are you looking for a science tutor who can make difficult topics easier to understand? I provide personalized Science lessons for students who want to improve their understanding, build confidence, complete schoolwork, or prepare for exams.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education major in Physical Science and several years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have taught Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth Science, and other General Science topics to secondary and high school students.

My lessons are student-centered and adapted to your learning level and goals. I don't simply give you the answers—I guide you through the concepts step by step so you understand why and how things work.
During our lessons, we can work on:
• Biology and life processes
• Chemistry and chemical reactions
• Physics and problem-solving
• Earth and environmental science
• Scientific concepts and terminology
• Homework and assignments
• Review and exam preparation
• Practice questions and application exercises

I use clear explanations, real-life examples, visual aids, guided practice, and questions that encourage students to think critically. If a topic seems confusing, we'll break it down into smaller and easier parts until you feel comfortable with it.

Every lesson is personalized to you. Whether you need help catching up with your classes, preparing for an upcoming examination, or simply want to become more confident in Science, I would be happy to help you reach your goals.
