SELF INTRODUCTIONHello dear new colleagues, wellcome to my profil page.
My name is Sinisa Kojic but you can call me KOJA (pronouncing: KOYA).
During my long professional career in Aviation I have been practicing English language. I had acquired Certificate for Conversation on English language at prestigious Institute for foreign languages in Belgrade. Knowledge of English language was helping me in profession, education and in life situations.
I was visiting a lot of Countries across many Continents and this is incredibly awesome experience for my whole lifetime. I met a lot of great people and beautiful countries and cities.
I have graduated on Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Belgrade University. I live in Belgrade, beautiful capital of Serbia. I am very interested to help you to learn and practice your English language. Also, I wish to introduce new friends around the world. I love to travel, reading books.
I really enjoy watching and participating in sport activities and, also, like listening the music.
TEACHING BACKGROUNDI had teaching experience as Professor at High Technical School in Belgrade. I was teaching a couple of years, it was great times for me working in classroom with my students. I was proud to help them becoming fully qualified for their technical professional career.
TEACHING STYLEI like to make conversation with people on different topics. You shall learn how to use
English language in daily communication, during air traveling, business communication and on technical subjects.
Lessons targets are:
- reading
- writing
- speaking and listening.
Also, learning includes: basics of English grammar, pronunciation and improving your vocabulary.
At our first session, we shall arrange following:
-Plan of topics for Lesson
-Plan of material used for Lesson
Recommended correspondence and transactions related to the lesson should be conducted through the Cafetalk system (emails via CAFETALK -MY PAGE)
Also, communications during Lessons shall be conducted via Skype chat text box.
If necessary, we could use Dropbox.
Our Lessons should be always pleasant and decent funny. Work should be always worthwhile and productive and focused on important and identified learning goals.
Lessons are highly interactive, meaning they are Student-oriented, not teacher-oriented.
Student during Lessons does not simply follow a textbook. Lessons take place in a very relaxed and cozy atmosphere, with fun and enthusiasm, and this will inspire Student and get the best of you!
LESSONS METHODS:a) Teaching through speaking -discussion about chosen topics, Speaking-discussion could be the best way to engage students on the process of learning as well as the best way for Teacher to get feedback.
b)Traditional lecture ( like classroom presentation)
- Lecturing is an oral presentation intended to present instructions relating chosen Lesson topics
- Questioning is asking most relevant question about Lesson
- Discussion between student-teacher through interaction about chosen topics
For first-time session Free Trial Lesson is my recommendation,
Trial Lesson can give you a chance to get to know with tutor and his teaching styles. At your trial session, you can discuss your learning goals and create a plan of action for future lessons. Also, we can check language level and define topics of interest.
According to Student`s interests we could arrange topics of Lessons and materials for Lessons and, certainly, methods of learning. We shall plan of sending materials for next Lesson via emails on Site: CAFETALK -MY PAGE, or via Skype chat text box during Lessons.
Straight after the Lesson or Trial I will send to my student via email or Skype very short feedback with summarizing our lesson and what we were talking about. It is possible to follow this up with a quick chat on Skype a few days later (if Student is online).
NOTE:Lessons may be presented via ONLINE WHITEBOARD (e.g. : Aww App with interactive collaboration online in Browser ) for collaboration in real time between Student and Tutor. Our voice and video online collaboration during Lessons will be via SKYPE.Of course, as alternative, lessons material could be presented by usage of magnetic memo whiteboard and drawing with pen in front of camera during lesson.Materials are flexible:
-Textbook, worksheets, homework prepared by students (recommended as best options) and sent to Tutor before scheduled Lessons (in JPEG,PDF format) Teaching online is work one-on-one with Student is interaction through verbal and written communication, by means of:
- Reading, writing, listening and speaking relating materials prepared by student, or

RECOMENDATION TO MY STUDENTS FOR USING WHITEBOARDAdvantage in Online Learning (e.g.: Aww App) with Interactive WhiteboardsSkype conversation is great for learning English or Mathematics online, supported with an online, interactive whiteboard ( for example:Aww App ) my students shall get significant benefit of using this learning technique and this help them for better understanding and retaining main tips of lesson. Tools from the whiteboard can quickly enhance our online lessons and take students to the level up.
-Drawing/writing and Shared Web Browsing
One of the best way to explain a concept is to show a picture. Students can use the drawing tools in interactive whiteboards to do just that, this way my students can draw/write anything they are trying to explain just simple way. Shared web browsing is another helpful feature of interactive whiteboards because they allow students to view the same article or image without having to save it on computer and then upload it..
- Students file upload for lesson discussion
Students can take pictures of their homework and send them by email, or they can email me the actual documents. In just a few minutes, so I can save them to my computer and upload them to the online classroom. This enables both of us to view the same documents and make changes on them.
-Highlighting important items
If student read a difficult text, we can highlight difficult vocabulary or let my students highlight words they don’t know. I can also highlight mistakes my students make if they cannot find them on their own. I could say, for example, “There is an error in this sentence of your text I have highlighted. Can you find it?”
-Text notes online
Writing on students’ work is a helpful way for them to see corrections to their errors. You can also write notes for them. Text features in online whiteboards also enable students to participate in the lesson by doing the writing themselves. Student can do online exercises in real time on material uploaded, take dictation, write paragraphs, or write sentences .that will demonstrate student understanding of expressions, words and enrich Student's vocabulary.
-Saving of Lessons
Online whiteboards are good in that you can save lessons so that no one can make changes. Some online whiteboards also feature recording options so you or your students can record entire lessons.
Teaching online is nearly as good as being face-to-face with a student in virtual classroom. With the interactive tools available in online whiteboards, our lessons will be interesting and engaging
NOTE
Students could make drawing/writhing with Pen. With use of finger to draw/write on a touch screen device or using the mouse/trackpad to draw/write on a computer.
Yours Tutor,KOJA
