WHAT MY STUDENTS THINK

I really enjoyed learning English with Jasmina and I will try to briefly explain why. I started preparing for IELTS exam last year and I prepared intensively for a few months. At first I had a lot of difficulties because I had never had the opportunity to speak in English so even though I could understand a lot, I needed some time to think about how to formulate sentences while speaking. Jasmina was really encouraging and patient. She never interrupted me, but wanted me to find my own way. Also, she always had new ideas and suggestions about how to improve and become more eloquent. I discovered a lot of exercises, tricks and tips that are not only useful for IELTS but for gaining general English knowledge and both speaking and writing skills. After sometime I discovered different Master program which didn't require IELTS test so I never actually took a test. Once i told Jasmina that I no longer wish to prepare for IELTS we started a different type of lessons which were focusing more on my ability to express my thoughts without any time restrictions or other IELTS rules. At the end Jasmina helped me writing CV and prepared me for the interview for the Master program I applied to. After I got accepted I continued having conversation lessons to gain some more confidence and improve my vocabulary. She then made some very interesting lessons during which I gained knowledge on various subject and and learned a lot of new words. So, I started learning about a year ago and had around 25 lessons in approximately 5 months. I started at a lower intermediate level and since 5 months ago I am leaving and studying abroad where I communicate in English all the time without any major difficulties. I am very pleased with the results. Jasmina's teaching techniques and her commitment to work had a profound impact on me. Since I had the opportunity to experience two types of lessons with Jasmina I can say that she is a great teacher, very well organized, creative and flexible.

Jasmina is an excellent teacher. I never had a lot of difficulties in speaking, listening or writing, but once I started to prepare for IELTS exam with her I realized how important it is to learn to be concise and articulate thoughts in a very short amount of time. Our lessons were simulating IELTS exam, and although Jasmina is not a strict professor, she was never willing to give me some more time when simulating IELTS because that was the only way to learn. She also gave me homework which I found very useful. Lessons were smartly organized. We never wasted time and we never spoke in Serbian. I even found it useful that it was via Skype because I could fully focus on listening and speaking without any distractions. I am also very grateful that she taught me how to write and express my opinion clearly on any given subject. Now I write a lot in English and I notice that my writing skills improved significantly since Jasmina's corrections and comments. At the end your improvement mostly depends on you, your diligence and time invested, but Jasmina is the kind of professor who knows how to challenge students and motivate them to never stop learning and improving. I am really grateful for that!

Dear Jasmina, We had only 6 weeks to prepare for Academic IELTS exam. Although I have never written any essays in my entire life (I'm 27 now), Jasmina taught me the principles of writing and after month and a half of preparing I scored 7 at academic writing. There were times when I would lose all hope for passing the exam, when I thought that taking IELTS in so short notice was insurmountable, but Jasmina was always there with positive attitude, kind words and sincere encouragement. Without her help and guidance I doubt that I could pull that of on my own. Thank you very much Jasmina for believing in me, your help, your worm personality and for doing ordinary job extraordinarily. Best wishes, Aleksandar

Dear Jasmina, It was my pleasure that I met you and that I was your student. On your classes I learned and improved many things and I am very grateful for all of that, because of many reasons. First of all, I would like to thank you because you accepted me, even though I did not have any previous knowledge of English. All I had was willpower. Later, you showed me how to be diligent, how to organize my learning and what is important and what is less important. I followed your advice and I succeeded, I passed Ielts exam and I achieved the score which was required. In a short period you taught me from some basic things to some things which are at a very high level. Also, you taught me how to write essays and letters, how to quickly find answers to questions, how to speak and how to answer even though I don't know the answer. Furthermore, your methods of teaching are good. Moreover, you are kind and you have a lot of patience and you are fully dedicated to your students. I am pleased and very grateful because you helped me to improve my English in every field. I want you to remember, that my success is also your success and great success is always a triumph of persistence. I like you as a person and as a teacher. Thank you Jasmina !

I had only a month to prepare my IELTS exam and I thought that it's impossible to prepare in such short time. Luckily, I met Jasmina who helped me, with all her kindness and positivity, to turn this 'mission impossible' into a great success! :) :) Without her I'm sure I wouldn't succeed. Jasmina, thank you for your support and knowledge you passed on me. You are a wonderful teacher!! :)

I did not know anything about how to write an essay or how to answer 40 questions in 1 hour (reading part). You taught me step by step how to write an essay, how to speak confidently and loudly. Despite all of these you gave me a moral support and I am very grateful for that. You know how to teach someone and you have a lot of patience You're always full of positive energy After one month I had the exam and I achieved the score which was required YOU ARE WONDERFUL TEACHER!!!

Jasmina and I had short but efficient collaboration couple of years ago. She was able to detect gaps and teach me how to improve my overall English skills. I have to mention her patience and enthusiasm as well as strong preparations for every session we had. Her enthusiasm and love for teaching can inspire even the laziest students.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jasmina!
All the best,
