ESOL Tutor: Born in Bosnia and Herzegovina
I am a Business English trainer, very fond of my sessions with my students, where we explore topics like Millennials in the work place, Work aspects of Social Media, Work place diversity, Democracy and all other aspects of modern society and work culture. I love the uniqueness (individuality) of each and every student, the flair they bring with them, and I am committed to help them expand on their potentials. My background is in engineering and IT but I am also very passionate about exploring literature and languages. In my spare time I write crime novels and film scripts. I was born in Sarajevo. The word “saray” in Turkish means “palace”.

Children and Young People's Lead: Born in Surrey
I have always been passionate about wellbeing and creative expression. During my own struggles and trauma in childhood/early adulthood I turned to the arts and it brought so much sunshine into my life. I followed the creative path and it led me to musical theatre and performing as a professional singer on TV, at festivals etc. So I know how beneficial it is to find creative community and through that, have some incredible experiences you previously only dreamt of! I wish to bring hope, optimism and practical ways for the children and young people in Nova to explore their identities and overcome any blocks they encounter so they too can continue to make their lives feel purposeful and fun!
