Teachers:

Our school employ only highly qualified native tutors with experience in the teaching of Serbian language to foreigners. All instructors are university graduates. Having spent time in other countries they possess a good knowledge of foreign cultures which help them better understand their students.

Home stay program / accommodation

All families are carefully vetted by our school. A host family can be a married couple or a single person, with or without children. If a student is unhappy in a host family, they will be moved, without question. The following is included: a separate room, access to all facilities (kitchen, bathroom, TV set, refrigerator, telephone etc.), bedroom clothing. As a rule a family became a good friend for the student.
It is very important to us that our students are happy in their accommodation, whether in host families, self catering shared student apartments (sharing an apartment with other students) or in private studio apartments.
