Anna Sartanowicz
Polish Language Teachers and Tutors Online

About me:

I have been a teacher for over 30 years, and I gained experience in teaching Polish as a foreign language at the People's University (Volksuniversiteit) in The Hague (Netherlands). Since 2015 I have been teaching Polish to adults from different backgrounds at this university.

Moreover, children from Polish-Dutch families were or currently are participants in my private and group lessons at a Saturday school in the Netherlands.

Given my disciplined, reliable and professional attitude, I am happy to take up any challenge in teaching Polish as a foreign language.

I use simple yet effective teaching methods such as a focus on direct contact with the language, natural acquisition of vocabulary and grammar or frequent repetition of language material.

During my lessons I mainly use the tools and materials proposed/offered by Glossa and the e-polish.eu platform.

Being a teacher gives me great satisfaction, especially when I see students ambitiously continue their language learning and try to use and expand their knowledge at every interaction with the Polish society.
