Teaches
Availability
Hi, I’m Ivor! I’m a native Croatian speaker from Zagreb and a student of Business Economics. I’ve always had a big passion for languages, people, and psychology, which makes teaching Croatian natural and enjoyable for me.
I don’t have formal teaching certificates yet, but I bring something equally valuable: 19 years of speaking Croatian as my native language, combined with patience, empathy, and a relaxed teaching style. My lessons are beginner-friendly, practical, and tailored to each student’s pace.
When I’m not studying or tutoring, you’ll probably find me at the gym, playing basketball, or enjoying sushi and pancakes. I also love sports like ping pong and football (yes, I support Bayern and Dinamo ⚽), and I enjoy exploring psychology and personal growth, which helps me understand and motivate my students.

The easiest way is a combination of speaking practice, listening, and real-life immersion. You can learn quickly by:
Taking lessons with a native speaker (like me!)
Practicing daily in real situations, like ordering food, shopping, or talking with locals
Watching Croatian TV or listening to music/podcasts
Using simple study materials and focusing on practical phrases
By combining lessons and everyday practice, you’ll start speaking confidently much faster.
It depends on your goals and practice routine:
Basic conversations: 4–8 weeks of regular practice
Everyday fluency: 3–6 months with consistent lessons and immersion
Advanced proficiency: 1+ year of practice and interaction with locals
The key is consistent practice and using Croatian in real-life situations, which is easy in Zagreb because you can immerse yourself in the language every day.
