Polish Language Teachers and Tutors Online

About me:

Hello, welcome to my profile!
Would you like to learn Polish, but you are not sure if this method is for you? You also don't know if I am your "dream teacher"? If you have any questions or doubts, please take a free trial lesson! (details below)

Who am I?
My name is Magda and I have been teaching Polish as a foreign language for 20 years. But my teaching adventure began a bit unusual...

Although I wanted to be a teacher since I was a child, I became a Polish tutor … by chance :). After graduating in Polish Studies and Theatre Studies from the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, I left for Paris to continue my PhD studies in the field of theater. It happened that they were looking for a tutor of Polish at the Sorbonne. I applied and... was selected! This is how I started my adventure teaching Polish, which has now continued for 20 years.

Working with people is my passion, therefore - teaching is the best profession. I love sharing my knowledge with my students and seeing their progress. For me, being a tutor of Polish means exchanging positive energy with students from around the world - as well as making new friends everywhere.

Qualifications and experience:

Over my 20 years career as a tutor I have gained extensive experience in this area: I have worked for prestigious universities in France and Poland, as well as for private language schools and companies. I have taught general Polish and professional and business language skills at all levels and to all age groups, I have prepared many students for their state exams in the Polish language. I have also taught Polish history and literature – I have even directed performances in Polish!

At present, I live in Kraków, but thanks to the opportunities offered by online teaching, I conduct individual and group lessons for students from all over the world! I have been using e-polish.eu platform since 2013 and consider it to be a remarkable teaching tool – useful not only during the pandemic :)

For several years I have also been conducting methodological trainings for teachers.

Apart from teaching, I like learning new things and broadening my mind. I always keep raising my qualifications: I attend professional courses to keep me updated with the latest developments in language training and pedagogy. Furthermore, I'm also a personal development trainer with a specialisation in language coaching, which is now my new passion and gives me new tools in my work as a tutor.

Methods of teaching

As a language coach, I am fully aware that there is not one effective method for every learner. I believe it is important to tailor teaching methods to suit each student’s individual needs and preferences. For me, ensuring my students are motivated is a very important part of the teaching process and I always consider my students' expectations. We simply work together at a suitable pace with the final goal in mind. I like my lessons to be well prepared with a lot of inspiring teaching materials chosen for students individually. From the very beginning, we will progressively speak, listen, read, write, play games and sing... obviously in Polish! We will also learn Polish grammar – which is not as terrible as you might think :)

If you are looking for a flexible, empathetic, patient and friendly teacher, I invite you to join my lessons!
