Zuzana Trstenská previously worked as a Slovak and English teacher. She currently works as a translator of English fiction. Above all, she loves laughter and colors, which is evident in everything she does. She studied Slovak language and literature at the Faculty of Philosophy of Comenius University in Bratislava and has been working with Slovak on a daily basis ever since. She sees teaching as an activity that should not stress either the student or the teacher. She prioritizes a pleasant and stimulating atmosphere that helps build trust between the student and the teacher. As she herself says: My students are, above all, equal partners to me. In the whirlwind of her daily duties, she does not forget about her mental health and in her free time she enjoys reading, listening to audiobooks, and crocheting.
