Why me
ABOUT ME
I have taught Polish at the Sichuan University (China), University College London (UCL), University of Budapest (Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary) and University of Warsaw (Poland). I have worked for embassies of different countries and companies like Bayer, PwC, Medlife, WBK, L’oreal.
I have experience in teaching Polish business language – both at the Universities and in companies. I delivered lectures presenting contemporary issues, social and economic problems that are currently discussed in Poland and topics related to Global Education - ecology, environmental protection, multiculturalism.
I lived for two years in London and I was a member of the London Language Exchange group, where I taught the Polish language. I also spent one year in China, where I have taught the Polish language at the University in Chengdu and organized „Polish Corner”, where I introduced topics about Polish culture, art, literature, music, and film. There were, inter alia, lectures on Polish cinematography, Polish slang, colloquialisms, as well as different perspectives of life in Poland.

We work on selected materials from reputable textbooks and authentic materials developed by me. Individual lessons enrich vocabulary and grammar knowledge. In the first class, I check your language level, and we discuss your needs and goals – it makes classes personalized and substantive.
