About me:

Hello! My name is Jolanta, and I have been living in the UK since 2008, although my British journey first began in 2004 when I came here as a student. Since then, the UK has become my second home, and the experiences I have gained over the years have helped me grow both professionally and personally.
Teaching is not only my profession, but above all my passion. I truly enjoy working with children, teenagers, and adults, helping them build confidence and achieve their language goals.
I am an energetic, positive, and open-minded person who loves travelling, sport, fitness, skiing, windsurfing, and discovering different cultures. I strongly believe that learning a language should be inspiring, enjoyable, and practical.
Currently, I work in UK high schools and serve as the Head Teacher at the Polish Supplementary School named after Squadron 303 in Norwich, where I teach Polish language classes, including GCSE preparation and GCSE-level courses. I have successfully helped many students achieve excellent GCSE results through modern, engaging, and project-based teaching methods.
I also work as a GCSE Polish Assessor in UK high schools, supporting and assessing students during their GCSE Polish examinations. This role allows me to fully understand the GCSE curriculum requirements and effectively prepare students for exam success.
Many people believe that Polish is a very difficult language, but together we can make the learning process simpler, effective, and enjoyable. Step by step, we build strong foundations that help students make real progress in speaking, reading, writing, and understanding Polish.
My lessons are creative, interactive, and always tailored to each student’s individual needs — because every learner is different and deserves a personalised approach.

Qualifications and experience:

I am an experienced and dedicated educator with many years of teaching experience in both the UK education system and Polish Saturday schools. I specialise in teaching Polish as a foreign and second language to children, teenagers, and adults at different language levels.
Currently, I work as a teacher in UK high schools and serve as the Head Teacher of a Polish Saturday School, where I lead educational programmes and teach Polish language classes, including GCSE preparation and GCSE-level courses.
I am also a GCSE Polish Assessor in UK high schools, supporting and assessing students during their GCSE Polish examinations. This experience allows me to prepare students effectively for exam success and understand the requirements of the GCSE curriculum in depth.

I strongly believe that successful learning happens in a positive, motivating, and supportive environment where students feel inspired to achieve their full potential.

Methods of teaching

My teaching approach is friendly, professional, and student-centred. I create a positive and supportive learning environment where students feel confident to speak, ask questions, make mistakes, and actively take part in lessons.
I focus on practical communication, confidence building, and steady progress. Each lesson is carefully adapted to the student’s age, level, learning style, and individual goals.
In my lessons, I focus on:
speaking Polish from the very beginning
practical communication and real-life language use
GCSE Polish preparation and exam techniques
project-based learning and creative tasks
interactive, engaging, and enjoyable lessons
natural vocabulary development
clear and simple grammar explanations
