About Marija
Learning should be an enjoyable, stimulating activity that validates the many skills you already possess! As a Sydney University-trained teacher of languages (English, French, Serbian), I have the pedagogical skills and the native speaker knowledge of both Serbian and English. As I'm now based in Belgrade, Serbia, I have easy access to the latest and best classroom resources available. My special strength is leveraging resources in new and creative ways, so your lessons with me will be time well spent. I simply love teaching and I accept students of all ages and levels. My current students are aged 3 to 53. Every lesson is carefully planned and adapted to you, personally. Together with you, I set realistic learning goals and help you progress to those goals and beyond. You will learn both Serbian language and culture, with options to specialize in particular areas if you wish. Contact me and tell me what you want to achieve. I look forward to meeting you!

Don't let anyone tell you that the Serbian language is hard to learn. It just requires commitment. And a teacher who gives interesting lessons. And I'll make sure you get both of these. With my students, learning is structured in 6-lesson units, with clear learning goals which we attain using fun learning resources. Every lesson gets you talking, listening, reading, and writing. Grammar isn't hard when we have lots of visual cues and quick exercises. Listening becomes less daunting when we practice together, using amusing skits, TV shows and commercials, or movie excerpts. Putting sentences together is easier if you can practice through an online game first. In fact, there are songs, drama skits, cartoons, comics, poems, puzzles, and many other resources I use to challenge you and connect you to real, contemporary Serbian language as well as culture. The dynamic lesson structure will keep you interested and motivated to learn more. Finally, homework! It's an essential part of language learning, so you will always have a 15-minute task to do on non-lesson days - but I will ensure this is a fun and meaningful part of your day, that gets you looking forward to your next class.

I wanted to learn Serbian to grow closer to my heritage, and Marija has been an excellent help. She is personable, patient, and a meticulous teacher. Her lessons are well-structured and thoughtfully tailored to my goals. She creates a supportive environment that makes learning enjoyable and effective. Thanks to her guidance, I feel more connected to the language and culture. I highly recommend Marija to anyone looking to learn Serbian.
Maria is a wonderful language tutor and I am so grateful to have found her on superprof. About 2 years ago my husband and I decided it would be fun to learn Serbian and eventually Greek to stay connected with our respective heritages. I searched high and low for the right fit, after the first online meeting with Maria we knew this would be a great match.
She is friendly and fun and very dedicated to our lessons - always taking pictures and remembering stories about her life in Belgrade and Serbia to recall to us in our lessons. This helps us learn the language by making it more personal and giving us knowledge that will actually help us in the real world.
Maria' s teaching style is versatile and she adapts to our learning style and speeds. She incorporates text book work, games, songs and general conversation into our learning and we look forward to every lesson. After 2.5 years, Maria believes my husband and I are at a B2 language level in Serbian and we feel that we are now able to understand and hold basic conversation. In the next few months we should be able to hold small conversations with minimal intervention.
I would recommend Maria as a language tutor to absolutely anyone of any age. She has a kind and caring nature, combined with fun stories and experience. Maria is a wonderful teacher and I'm very glad we found her.Maria is an exceptional teacher. She is kind, patient, passionate, approachable and organised.
Maria started teaching my sons in July 2020. They have since learned to write and read Serbian Cyrillic and have grown more confident in speaking Serbian.
I highly recommend Maria. The sessions are well planned, interesting and fun. We look forward to the class every week.Maria is an excellent, dedicated and well-organised teacher. As a beginner in the language, I feel her classes are well suited to my level of learning and ability. The lessons themselves are always enjoyable, and Maria has a great way of incorporating pieces of music, culture and history into the lesson - so it feels like not only are you learning the language, you are getting a better sense of the culture too - which is so important! I continue to feel appropriately challenged by her classes, but never overwhelmed, and I always look forward to them (and even doing my homework!) which is indicative of her great teaching ability.
Maria taught both my children Serbian for several years in person and continued online once we no longer lived in the same city. She has a wonderful way of catering the lessons to the individual child’s needs and interests and has always made lessons fun and interactive. One thing I loved the most is how she not only taught my kids the Serbian language but also a lot about understanding the Serbian culture and history and how it is all connected.
