Daniel Kołakowski
Polish Language Teachers and Tutors Online

About me:

Hello! My name is Daniel. For many years, I have been helping young people and their parents achieve concrete goals through the Polish language: fluent communication, studying in Poland, the Polish Card, and language certificates.

I am a native speaker of Polish, a humanist by education, and a practitioner by choice. I studied in Warsaw (journalism, philosophy, theology), and I gained international experience, among others, during an academic internship in Kyiv in the 2001/2002 academic year and through 11 years of living and working abroad.

In my work, the most important thing is the person - their goals, pace, and sense of security. Teaching Polish is not just a profession for me, but real support in important life decisions.

Qualifications and experience:

📌 600+ students now speak Polish fluently
📌 200+ people have obtained the Polish Card
📌 100+ students have passed B1/B2 exams (Polish and European)

I have been teaching since 2007. I worked, among others, at the private language school “Ekspert” in Kaliningrad, cooperating with academic staff of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University. I also completed a course for teachers of Polish abroad at the Pedagogical University in Kraków.

I have prepared students for:
Polish Card interviews,
certification exams,
studying and living in Poland.

I work with children, teenagers, and adults — both in-person and online, effectively also in remote formats.

Methods of teaching

I teach in a practical and communicative way. From the very first lessons, I focus on speaking, understanding, and self-confidence — not rote memorization.

✔️ clear plan and measurable goals
✔️ speaking from the first lesson
✔️ original materials + multimedia
✔️ preparation tailored precisely for exams or the Polish Card
✔️ stress-free atmosphere without fear of making mistakes

Case study:
Matthew, 16-year-old student, A2 level → after 8 months: B1 and fluent communication, now studying at a Polish school.
Claudia, 18-year-old student → Polish Card obtained on the first attempt.

I believe everyone can learn Polish with the right guidance and a well-structured plan.
That’s why I invite you to a trial lesson - we will assess your level, set a goal, and show you how to achieve real results.
