About me - English
Hi, my name is Lilanich, it’s nice to have you here.
I come from Zagreb, Croatia where I currently live. I’m a translator, language teacher and language consultant, I’ve been learning languages for most of my life, and I’ve been working with them professionally since 2008. Much of that time I’ve been teaching Croatian, English, and Chinese language to students from diverse backgrounds both in Zagreb and abroad which provided me with valuable teaching experience, and a profound insight into the field of teaching.
What I love the most about learning and teaching languages is to share my passion with others.
I hope you will find my language lessons educative and entertaining.
Qualifications & Experience
I have completed my undergraduate studies in Chinese language at the Central China Normal University in Wuhan and I have earned my Master's degree in World and Comparative Literature from Beijing Language and Culture University.
Since my graduation in 2008, I have worked as a teaching assistant where I taught a wide range of courses, including history of Chinese literature, as well as modern and contemporary Chinese literature and Chinese language. In addition to my teaching and administrative responsibilities, I have also worked as a translator for various institutions and publishing houses both in Croatia and abroad. I mainly translate from English and Chinese to Croatian, and I have knowledge of French language.
Teaching Approach
In my lessons students assume a much more active role in the learning process, I encourage students to follow personalized learning plans that are inspired by their specific interests and skills. This way students can advance at their own pace, moving forward or spending extra time as needed.
