Hi there!
My name is Andrea and I'd like to be your Slovak teacher. :-)
I am a qualified teacher. I studied at the State Language School in Slovakia and I passed the General State Examination in English Language (C1-C2 level). I gained a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD.) in Social Work and completed an Additional Pedagogical Education. As a PhD student, I gained experience in teaching. I´ve more than four-year experience in teaching. I enjoy teaching, working with people and speaking in English.
We can focus on whatever you wish to practise and I can take you through a structured course and I will supply you with all of the required materials. Lessons dependent on the student's needs - grammar, speaking, writing, reading or listening. I can help you with all aspects of Slovak.
In our first lesson we'll get to know each other and I'll make an assessment of your needs. After that I'll create a plan for us to follow together.
I enjoy teaching in a fun, friendly and casual manner. Whether you are an advanced student or a beginner let me help you improve. Let’s connect in a trial lesson so I can learn more about your goals. See you soon! :-)
J. .
I just finished my second Slovak lesson with Andrea and I am very happy that I chose her as my teacher! She is very kind, easy going and patient, and she has a good understanding of both English and Slovak. I would recommend anyone looking to learn this language as well to book your lessons with her! Looking forward to the rest of the course!

Hello everybody :)
I am Cornelia and I teach German, Spanish and French for different levels.
I studied French and Spanish and am about to graduate with a Master in Conference Interpreting. Both languages are an integral part of my life and I am happy to share my knowledge of language and culture !
German is my mother tongue, whether you are a beginner or an advanced speaker, I will be happy to help you improve your German and get started !
I use various textbooks as well as material that has helped me a lot at school and in my studies. Furthermore, I like to focus on oral communication, but I also have a lot of knowledge about editing texts and grammar due to my studies.
F. H.
I can only recommend Cornelia. In terms of skills and interpersonal skills, one of the best teachers I've ever had.

Hi there! Do you want to dive into the beauty of Slovak and / or English language? Then let's do it together!
My name is Katarína and I am here to help you with any aspect of the language - grammar, speaking, conversations...
Thanks to my experience as a teacher at language school, I gave lessons to individuals, groups of various ages, children... I always try to personalize my lessons and concentrate on those areas that are important for you.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Have a great day!
T. V.
Katarína is a very nice and knowledgeable teacher. She always was on time, had well prepared the materials and knows how to explain the Slovak language to a novice. However, I am sure she will also be a good teacher for more advanced speakers.

I am very happy and satisfied that I can learn Slovak from Eva. She's doing a great job!

Hi! I’m Yasmina, a professional German, English, Russian and Slovak teacher for adults and teenagers. I am fluent in 4 foreign languages and I have sucessfuly passed C2 level exams for English and German. I have a Masters degree in foreign languages and cultures from Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia. During my studies I have done a couple of exchanges abroad (Germany, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Qatar, Iceland, etc).
I have lived in 4 countries, therefore I know how challenging it may be - to learn and SPEAK foreign language afterwards. I’ve been teaching and learning languages for more than 8 years (3 years of teaching experience). I am absolutely sure, that your learning process starts, when you begin to speak. Therefore my lessons are mainly conversational, but you would need to do your homework at home :)
As a result, we can use your new knowledge during the lesson. Language learning is fun and a lot of hard work at the same time. But if you know what to do, than the process becomes much easier and enjoyable.
Here is the key information on the lessons/courses:
1. Lessons are tailored to your needs
2. All materials are provided
3. Before we start, during the trial lesson, I will test you level and we will develop a plan in order to reach your goal as soon as possible.
Any questions? Don’t hesitate to ask me!
All the best,
Yasmina
M. W.
Yasmina organizes the lessons in a varied, easy-to-understand and competent manner, is always punctual and attentive. She also incorporates information about the country (recipes, music, ...) and always thinks of something new - I like it when the learning is playful. Yasmina gladly and patiently answers questions, even those that concern the mentality or dealing with Slovaks (especially Slovakian mother-in-law ...). Clear recommendation!

Hi, my name is Elisa, I have a degree in languages and I teach Italian as a foreign language. Italian is my native language. I also speak English, French and German (this could be very helpful to understand us, in case you don’t speak a single word in Italian). I know what it means to learn a foreign language and what works to learn it.
My lessons are customised to fit your personal needs: probably you need to learn Italian as a beginner, or you need to improve your knowledge: speaking practice, or grammar corrections.
I love teaching, just book your lessons with me and I will help you to learn Italian in a easy and efficient way.
T. V.
Elisa is a very passionate and lovely teacher with great experience with students of different ages and nationalities. She dedicates a lot of attention to the students needs and wants, depending on their level and objectives, caring about their own interests.
This review was written by a coLanguage team member during a manual screening of this teacher profile.
