About me

Hi! My name is Marino

I'm approachable and patient, aiming to create a comfortable environment for you to practice speaking Croatian. I design personalized lessons and materials tailored to your level, ensuring you progress at a pace that suits you. I understand the challenges of learning a new language, and I’m committed to helping you gain confidence and fluency. I'm excited to support you on your language learning journey!

I have an MA in History and Croatian language and literature and 9 years of teaching experience, including 5 year of online teaching.

I offer structured lessons, but also conversational ones.

We can start learning language from the scratch (A1 level), or we can work on improving your conversation skills, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and make you a more confident and self-assured speaker. I can give you homework and provide you with literature (textbooks, workbooks), etc. 📚

I'll create a personalized and supportive environment for you to practice Croatian. Let's improve together!

After a month of working with Marino, I can confidently say he is an excellent tutor. He takes a flexible approach to our lessons, adjusting them to match my learning pace and needs, while addressing gaps in my knowledge. Marino consistently shares interesting and insightful information that enriches my understanding of the language and Croatian culture, which I'm really interested in. I have to admit that my confidence in speaking Croatian has significantly improved after just a couple of sessions with him. I recommend Marino to anyone seeking a patient and encouraging tutor. His easy-going, friendly attitude, combined with a touch of subtle humor and fun facts, makes learning with him a truly enjoyable experience.

I nearly finished my first month of classes with Marino and I have learned so much already! The sessions are always with a lot of detail and structure so that I leave each session with a lot to learn and to repeat. Marino adapts his teaching to my pace and my person. I’m really excited to see how much Croatian I know and can speak after a couple of months! The lessons are always fun, yet with a clear focus. ☺️

My specialties

Conversational Croatian

I have extensive experience in conversational Croatian and can help by adapting to each individual’s needs, enabling you to develop conversation skills and encouraging students to strive for more.

Intensive Croatian

I also have experience with students who need an accelerated and intensive Croatian course due to travel, work, family reasons, and more. The goal is to provide as much input as possible in a short time, preparing them for the challenges of using a new language.

Croatian for beginners

I have been teaching Croatian as a foreign language for beginners for many years. With extensive experience and a wealth of materials, textbooks, and assignments, I am fully equipped to guide you on your journey into the Croatian language. I tailor my lessons to accommodate various backgrounds, focusing on the unique aspects of transitioning from your native language to Croatian
