Sanja Zagorac
@sanjazagorac
German language teacher and founder building engaging courses through client-focused, multilingual communication.
What I'm looking for
I’m a proactive, people-oriented professional with a background in education, communication, and organizational development. I bring years of experience teaching German in international settings, and I run my own language training center focused on clear planning and strong client relationships.
I’m used to managing multiple tasks independently—from content creation and client relations to administration and marketing. I translate that into well-structured learning experiences, individualized learning programs, and smooth day-to-day operations.
On the teaching side, I design and deliver customized German language courses across proficiency levels (A1–C1), and I support learners with preparation for TELC, Goethe, and ÖSD exams. I’m also comfortable working with students from diverse cultural and professional backgrounds, using empathy and active listening to keep them progressing.
Beyond the classroom, I handle all aspects of business operations—strategic planning, course design, budgeting, client communication, and administrative tasks. I’m actively building a strong client base through digital outreach, project coordination, performance tracking, and continuous improvement to grow client satisfaction and business results.
