Information about Lana
My name is Lana, I am a Croatian teacher of English (ESOL) and Spanish. I was born in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, where I finished both primary and secondary grammar school and where I studied to become a teacher. I have travelled extensively throughout the world, taught in England, New Zealand and Croatia. In December 2019 I moved to England and at the moment I work as a Spanish tecaher in a secondary school in east London.
Willing to travel: 1 miles
Experience: I have worked as a teacher with children, students and adults since I graduated in English and Spanish from the University of Humanities and Social studies in Zagreb. I have taught adults Croatian in Argentina, I have worked as a boarding and teaching assistant (ESOL and Spanish) in St John’s College in Portsmouth, England, taught Spanish in St Mark’s College in Wellington and English and Spanish in both primary and secondary schools in Zagreb, Croatia. I have taught General English, Business English, Technical English, FCE/CAE preparation English courses. I have taught Spanish in Ericsson, Zagreb, and have done 1:1 lessons.
Apart from my university diploma I have done a course in Mindfulness based living, I have an FCE, IELTS and TEFL certificates.
As a teacher, I hope to motivate students in ascertaining their inner strengths and abilities and discovering what truly inspires them. I aim to provide a stimulating learning environment that encourages students to trust their own opinions, while fostering confidence in order for students to realize their full potential.
All my previous job experiences have helped me develop good organization, communication and research skills. I am conscientious in my personal and professional life, I am always up to any task, I am open-minded, friendly, outgoing, confident, highly motivated, and I get great satisfaction from working with both children and adults and will continue to strive to be a positive influence.
DBS Check: Yes

Lana tutored my son for his GCSE Spanish and significantly raised his predicted grade, resulting in a really good GSCE grade for the final exams. More importantly, she helped him become more confident with his Spanish and even enjoy it! Lana was a very patient and supportive tutor, worked out how to bring out the best in my son and is a lovely person. I would thoroughly recommend Lana for Spanish tutoring.

Friendly and approachable, well prepared for the lesson. Focuses on weaknesses but not in a critical or judgemental manner. Knowledgeable and adaptable. A very good teacher

If you are serious about actually being able to speak Spanish this it the tutor for you. My kids were saying full sentences in Spanish from the very first lesson they had with Lana. She is kind, polite but to the point, she does not waste one minute of the lesson. Lana is always prepared, thorough in her approach to teaching. Lana has an amazing knowledge of methodology of teaching a language as well as the language itself. My children are always looking forward to their lessons.
