Learn English, German or Polish as a foreign language

From 34.58 $ /h

I am a PhD of Applied Linguistics and a fluent speaker of Polish (my mother tongue), German and English. I teach the three languages for general purposes (everyday life) and for exams (like Cambridge English exams, TOEFL, IELTS, Goethe-Zertifikat, egzamin certyfikatowy z języka polskiego). I also have experience with English for Medicine and am willing to assist you in your private needs.

I believe in teaching based on (con)text - as opposed to teaching the rules and the vocabulary per se. Let me put it this way: It is not enough to want to speak a language, you need to know what you want to speak about. So, what can you talk about with me? Apart from languages I am interested in arts (music, literature, painting, cinematography), travelling / geography, astronomy, physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, politics, religions/spirituality and psychology. I live in Poznań, Poland (quite a big city) and am privately a mother of four children - two of whom I've been homeschooling since their first grade. For me, education (also my own education) is a lifestyle.

About Me

My career in education took off as I started studying at Adam Mickiewicz University in 1996. As a student, I supplemented my finances by giving private lessons to children and thus gaining experience. I then continued teaching in various settings - both in mainstream public education and in academic setting, providing classes to students while working on my doctor thesis which dealt with teaching foreign languages to teenagers with dyslexia.
I like to think of the educational process as a tourist / hiker experience. Tell me what places you would like visit, what mountains you would like to climb - and let me be your guide. I will tell you what routes we can take to get there and will provide information on all the fascinating monuments, landmarks and wonders of nature that we will encounter on our way.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

German is often perceived as a complex language, but it is above all a logical and powerful tool for boosting your career or traveling with confidence in Europe. Whether you are a complete beginner or want to refresh your knowledge, I have designed this course as a practical immersion to break down the language barrier.

You will learn to construct correct sentences from the very first lessons, master pronunciation, and understand key grammatical structures without getting bogged down in theory. Together, we will work on real-life scenarios (daily life, professional settings) so that you can express yourself with confidence and fluency.
