Head of Programme at Maison du Cinéma in Cannes and an experienced acting coach focused on helping people overcome stage fright and master public speaking — ideal for professionals who want to elevate

Amazing person, with a mass of profound acquired knowledge from various sources, filtered with the ability to think critically.

Ivan will definitely change the way you see acting. He pushes you out of your comfort zone but never gives up on you. And as a bonus, he probably has the best jokes ever.
I’m really grateful I got to learn from him.

Ivan is an exceptional mentor and teacher.
It was a great pleasure learning from him. He shares his knowledge selflessly and uses different techniques and methods to develop the skills of the people he is teaching.
He is incredibly energetic and creative, he encourages and brings out the maximum out of his students. Devoted to his work, he persists in his own education and constantly passes that knowledge onto us. He taught me how to think in a different way, to live life more fully, enjoy art more and to approach it with more dedication.

I had the chance to learn acting from Ivan, and I can honestly say he’s a great teacher.
His approach is unique and really makes you see acting and films in a different way. He helped me understand performances on a deeper level and always knew how to guide me when I had questions.
I’m very grateful for everything I learned from him!

I’ve had the chance to work and learn from several actors, but only with Ivan was the approach really different. He made me pay attention to things no one else had even mentioned before. His classes give you the space to see what you’re doing well and what you’re not, and what small changes in your acting — and in the way you work on yourself can actually make a difference. He helps you break some performance habits that have kind of stuck over time and were stopping you from growing and getting better. The exercises and techniques Ivan teaches have really helped me in my acting.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ivan and I can confidently say he is an exceptional teacher. His sessions are always supportive, yet he knows exactly when to challenge you to push beyond your comfort zone. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to grow as an actor.

Very devoted person, highly educated and informed in the field of dramatic art.
Has a strict work ethic, gives methodical homework and always finds the time to give advice and feedback.
Have been working with him for a few years now, highly recommend!

I highly recommend this tutor to anyone serious about improving their acting skills. From the very first session, it was clear that they have a deep understanding of character work, emotional truth, and scene analysis.

What makes them stand out is their ability to create a safe and focused environment where you feel free to take risks and truly explore your craft. Their feedback is always clear, practical, and tailored specifically to your needs, which makes every session extremely valuable.

They don’t just teach acting techniques — they help you unlock something deeper within yourself as an actor. I’ve gained more confidence, authenticity, and clarity in my performances thanks to their guidance.

If you are looking for someone who will push you, support you, and genuinely care about your growth as an actor, this is the tutor you want to work with.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Ivan for a very long time, and I can genuinely say that his ability to transfer knowledge is something special. He has a deep knowledge of theatre and film acting and directing, and he explains techniques in a way that feels clear, practical, and instantly usable.

What I appreciated the most was how he helped me feel more confident in real-life situations. He notices the small details that make a big difference, and he gives feedback that is honest but always encouraging.

Ivan creates a relaxed atmosphere where you can actually experiment, make mistakes, and improve. He has a gift for helping people understand what to do, how to do it and why it works. His passion for the craft is obvious, and it’s contagious.

I highly recommend his online classes to anyone who wants to develop their acting skills, better understand film language, or simply gain more confidence in their presence and expression.

Working with Ivan has been a fantastic experience. He has a real gift for spotting what an actor needs and explaining things in a way that feels both supportive and practical. He can be strict, but never gives up on you. Every session with him leaves me more confident and excited about my craft.

Ivan is a teacher who will open a completely new perspective on acting and the approach to it. No matter what level you are at or how difficult things may seem, he never gives up on his students. Beyond acting itself, he teaches you the value of hard work, discipline, and what it truly means to be dedicated to your craft.

Very skilled actor and knowledgeable and patient teacher who really dedicates himself to his students. I would reccomend his service to anyone that wishes to be a better actor or public speaker.

A very good acting teacher. He is very dedicated to his craft and what he does. He works very hard with his students and gets the most out of them. He will not do things halfway, he will work until he reaches the goal with you. Until he teaches you and pays attention to every detail.

He will transform not only your acting but also the way you look at the world. You will be forever changed.

I highly recommend Ivan as an acting coach. His professionalism, passion, and deep understanding of the craft make him an exceptional tutor. Ivan creates a supportive, inspiring environment where students feel confident exploring their abilities.

For example, during one of his sessions, he helped a shy beginner perform a full monologue by breaking it down into simple emotional beats—something that completely transformed the student’s confidence on stage.

Working on acting with actor Ivan Ožegović is an extremely valuable experience because he brings a combination of professionalism, knowledge and sincere dedication to the students. Ivan approaches acting analytically, but also intuitively – he clearly explains the technique, while at the same time encouraging spontaneity, imagination and personal authenticity in each actor. His work is based on an understanding of the psychology of the character, the dynamics of the scene and a deep awareness of the body and voice, which allows the students to build a stable foundation of acting expression. Collaboration with Ivan Ožegović brings not only progress in acting technique, but also personal growth – self-confidence, expressiveness, creativity and the ability to truly connect with the partner and the audience. That is why working with him is a valuable experience for anyone who wants to develop their acting skills and discover new possibilities for their own expression.

Ivan is consistently well-prepared for each lesson, showing patience and a deep understanding of acting techniques. He has a remarkable ability to explain difficult concepts clearly and adapt his teaching style to suit each student’s needs and pace. His supportive and encouraging approach makes learning both effective and enjoyable, which helped me improve significantly.

Moreover, Ivan is reliable, punctual, and courteous — qualities that build trust and make him a pleasure to work with. I believe his positive attitude and commitment make him a great fit for any student seeking acting lessons.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ivan to anyone looking for a competent, supportive, and passionate acting tutor on Superprof. Should you need further information, I’d be happy to provide it.

Ivan is a truly inspiring and dedicated acting instructor who brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and experience to every lesson. As a teacher, he has a unique ability to connect with students at all levels, making them feel comfortable and confident from the very first class. Whether you’re a beginner looking to explore the world of acting or an experienced performer seeking to refine your craft, Ivan tailors his lessons to meet your individual needs and goals.

I am writing to you as a film director and the president of the Art Factory Association (Udruga Tvornica umjetnosti), as well as the author of the short film Picnic, for which I received the European Film Academy Award for Best European Short Film — the so-called “European Oscar.” In addition, I directed the feature film Mater, which won the Oktavijan Award for Best Croatian Film and received recognition at international festivals such as Taormina, FEST, and others.

In this context, I would like to express my strong support for Ivan Ožegović and wholeheartedly recommend him for any future collaboration, especially in the fields of film education, creative teaching, and youth development.

I have been collaborating with Ivan for many years on various projects. Within the programme “Express Yourself Through Film” of the Art Factory Association—where I serve as president—Ivan led acting workshops for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this work, he proved to be an exceptional mentor: patient, empathetic, committed, and highly engaging. He succeeded in creating a safe and encouraging environment in which participants felt supported and motivated to explore their own creative expression.

I would also like to highlight Ivan’s role in organizing highly valuable workshops in Bjelovar with Academy Award–winning filmmakers Asghar Farhadi and Danis Tanović, which I personally attended. These events were of remarkable quality, comparable to major international programmes—professionally organized, content-rich, and extremely meaningful for participants. Ivan displayed impressive professionalism, responsibility, and the ability to coordinate complex projects.

We are also currently collaborating on the project “Maison du Cinema,” where Ivan serves as Programme Director. In this capacity, he has proven to be highly capable, reliable, and proactive.

Throughout all our collaborations, Ivan has demonstrated qualities essential for a great educator: he is organised, responsible, communicative, and creative. He understands not only the needs of a specific project but also the broader educational and artistic context. I particularly value his initiative and dedication—he consistently strives to elevate the quality of any programme he is involved in and to provide meaningful learning experiences for all participants.

For all these reasons, I recommend Ivan Ožegović with full confidence as an exceptionally capable, reliable, and professional teacher. I remain at your disposal for any further information.

He is great! Really can teach you how to be truthful and honest in acting! Alao very funny and good guy! Love working with him!
