For the first introductory lesson
Learning without boring rules — just real, living language, confidence in communication, and joy in the process! Whether for work, out of interest in the culture, or simply to understand what the classics were writing about.
Individual lessons are incredibly engaging! After all, every student needs a unique approach. And it’s my job to design a programme that fits your goals and needs.
Lesson duration — one academic hour.
Group lessons in small groups are always a lot of fun, time flies by, and the cost per participant is lower. Even if your language levels and abilities are different, that can actually help with learning. The focus is not on competition, but on communication, support, and a positive atmosphere.
Lesson duration — one academic hour.
Standard and certified written translation — from website pages and brochures to fiction and official documents.
Interpretation at negotiations, by phone, at conferences and meetings. Simultaneous interpretation in a booth.
Croatian for foreigners using a custom methodology — both for those who speak a Slavic language and those completely new to it.
I find a unique approach for every student, taking into account previous knowledge, native language, learning pace, and simply their interests and goals.
I have developed 38 lessons for beginners, focusing on speaking practice while not forgetting the basics of grammar. And for those who already know the fundamentals, I prepare a plan individually.
I teach not only the language, but also history and culture through language learning. We read and analyse beautiful texts from classical literature, history lectures, or scientific articles — depending on the student’s interests.

I very much enjoy the lessons with Maria, she manages not only to teach the language but also to show the beauty of it. Maria is always well prepared, a very experienced teacher and answers all my questions in a conclusive manner.
