Milica is so patient, but gently pushes me out of my comfort zone so that I improve my language skills. She uses interesting and relevant materials and is willing to respond to my requests to look at a particular topic or area where I am struggling.

Ha det gøy!
My name is Milica, and I am a writer and translator. Languages, words, and sentences have been very important in my life, and I enjoy teaching what I love. I have worked as a middle school teacher in Oslo. My main subjects have been Norwegian as a mother tongue, English as a second language and social sciences. I also worked at two different language schools, where I taught Norwegian as a foreign language. Currently I work as a translator for Scandinavian languages (Norwegian, Swedish and Danish), since I have studied both Swedish and Norwegian for many years. I speak Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Norwegian, Swedish, some German, and a little Spanish and Russian. I am passionate about languages, literature, history and culture.

Teaching Approach
My university and personal studies in languages, literature, history and pedagogy gave me the theoretical background to understand how languages work. The 14-year-experience gave me the practical knowledge and awareness of how people learn and begin to use a second language.
My teaching approach is supporting, motivating and positive. I have high ambitions for my students, and I want them to explore the language they are learning by using it often, actively and willingly. Everyone learns differently and for different reasons, and I always accomodate the way students want to learn.
