I am a native speaker and a professional teacher of the Polish language. I’ve been an enthusiast of online teaching since 2016 and today most of my classes (1 to 1 as well as the ones for groups) are held that way, but I also provide Polish courses in Warsaw, meeting with my students in places of their choice (usually in their homes or offices). 

Since 2012 I had a pleasure to teach people from those countries:

Since 2019 I participate in the Polish language certification exams.

I am also an admin of a bilingual Facebook page Polish language – more info, a collection of funny and helpful miscellanea for learners.

My teaching styles

I mainly use the direct method, which sets successful communication as its primary goal. To help achieve this goal, I speak Polish from the very beginning and encourage my students to do the same. Multiple visual aids, dictionaries, gestures and context allow us to understand each other well.

I can also provide more traditional courses or non-regular consultations for more independent learners (focusing on specific areas of language e.g. on Polish pronunciation, grammar, spelling or text composition) in English or in Polish, according to student’s specific goals and interests.

MY STUDENTS' OPINIONS

Not sure, if I’m the right person to guide you through complexities of Polish language? Check out how my students describe me in their satisfaction surveys:

MY TOOLS

For my Polish classes I often create new exercises, tailored to particular student’s needs. Here are four of my favourite tools that have proven useful for customising and sharing learning materials. There is one app available in each tab, so you can test them (none of them require registration to do that).

If you’re browsing on a mobile device, this app works best when your screen is horizontal.

 

Click on a picture to check if Google Documents work with your browser. The app will open in new tab. Try to move the items around.

MY QUALIFICATIONS

I have an M. A. in Polish Philology, I graduated from The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. During my studies there I finished a 2-year course in teaching Polish as a foreign language.

Since then I regularly participate in workshops and conferences to further develop my teaching skills. Detailed information on my education and experience can be found on my LinkedIn profile.
