About Mira


Bio

My goal is to help you succeed learning a foreign language quickly and with less effort, efficiently, (I also teach writing, math and computer skills so I developed my own language learning "formula"). I speak English, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin at native level, Macedonian, French, German at a read/write level (certified Level C), reading and understanding other Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian and Polish.

My goal is to help you succeed learning a foreign language quickly and with less effort, efficiently, (I also teach writing, math and computer skills so I developed my own language learning "formula"). I speak English, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin at native level, Macedonian, French, German at a read/write level (certified Level C), reading and understanding other Slavic languages such as Russian, Bulgarian and Polish.

With 200+ hours tutoring on Wyzant, I am a full time language instructor and tester; I have a US college diploma as well as an overseas diploma. I am experienced teaching beginners as well as advanced students. I taught ESL students in Germany as well.

Please contact me to set up our first class. If we agree and we "click", we can continue with the program - whether you need just a couple of classes to help you, or you want to invest several hours a day or per week to make progress quickly, I am here to discuss your needs.

Some students book two classes per week. Others work with me all day-every day, for months, so that they become fluent.

Let's talk!

Thank you.

ESL/ESOL

I have a Bachelor’s degree in communication from the University of Texas (Dean’s list, graduated with honors); and 15 years in Corporate America. Currently I teach English as a second language and also Croatian language. I teach adults and kids, government students and businesses people. Due to Covid restrictions I would prefer that we work online for the time being. Let me know if this works for you. I will be glad to offer classes that you’re looking for. My online classes go via video conferencing; we can see each other’s gestures and I can help you with anything just as good as if we were together in person. Thank you.

Mira, a Great Tutor.

Mira showed patience, in assisting me with my goal, including assessing my level of knowledge and abilities when it came to speaking the Croatian language. She was able develop a training aid just for my situation. I'm so impressed with our first session, and now know it's possible for me at 69 years old, accomplish my objective of speaking Croatian. Fantastic Person!

Knowledgeable and engaging.

Mira was able to get to the grammar issues I'm struggling with in a very succinct manner. I will continue engaging with her to address my weaknesses. Thanks, Mira.

Introduction to cases

Mira began an overview of the seven cases in Bosnian. She provides guidance, easy to remember techniques, and examples. She is very helpful and encouraging. I look forward to more sessions.
