About Me

I am an adventurer and a bookworm so my interest in foreign languages came naturally. I lead an active life as a sailor and climber but I also enjoy spending time at home with books, films and music. My interest in psychology is satisfied in my job as all students are different and demand individual care. All in all, teaching is a perfect combination of working, learning and having fun because it opens up so many opportunities both for teacher and student.

Education

I am currently a PhD student and I specialize in linguistics. I hold B.A. in Business English and M.A. in British and American Culture and Literature as well as a certificate of completion of an intensive translation course.

Experience / Qualifications

I worked at University of Silesia for 4 years teaching students, attending conferences and organizing events. I also held a position of an English Language Coach and Translator for 8 years in several companies.

Reviews (1)

Paul is a professional with a high standaards and a deep understanding for the english language. He makes sure that the lessons are tailored to your needs and that you make progress. He has a comforting way of teaching, since practicing a foreign language can be a bit scary.
I specialize in tutoring English for university students and staff working in various industries. I use numerous methods and didactic materials depending on particular students and their goals. You can choose if you would like to speak American or British English.
Linguistics is fun and useful for students as well as professionals, schoolchildren and anyone who is interested in languages. Linguistics can be a real eye-opener and a hobby for life. The branches of linguistics I teach include: 1. Translation theory. 2. Pragmatics. 3. Dialectology. 4. Morphology. 5. Phonetics. 6. Syntactics/grammar. 7. Psycholinguistics. 8. Historical linguistics. 9. Geographical linguistics. 10. Sociolinguistics.
Literature in English language is a very broad term. The biggest number of popular English language texts comes from the USA and the UK, however, there are many other places where English is spoken as a native language and interesting texts are produced. You can learn with me the following subjects: 1. American literature (including native American literature). 2. British literature (including Welsh and Scottish literature). 3. Selected areas of literature in English from Canada, Australia, India and South Africa.

✅ COPYWRITER, ADVERTISING WRITER, DESIGNER-EDITOR: ENHANCE YOUR CONTENT TO OFFER IT BETTER
Copywriting is the art of selling with words. In short, it's written marketing. Concretely, a copywriter (or copywriter) writes content tailored for the sale of a product or service. And precisely, it is either: - to offer you concrete techniques, a clear methodology and pragmatic tools to learn how to write quality content yourself for your own needs - or to help you directly to promote the content of your product and design a text, a letter, a hook, a slogan, write marketing files, press releases, an internet page, blog posts, advertising banners and newsletters (...) in an impactful and optimal way. Choose the appropriate terms and format them in order to convey an idea, a message, in the most relevant, effective and persuasive way possible. So, how can you write writing highlighting a brand, a product, a person or simply a company... in order to promote it and gain visibility? This is why, to help you on the one hand, to create strong, attractive and synthetic messages but also on the other hand, to teach you to do it for yourself, it will be a question of precisely understanding your needs, your product, your strategy, the values you wish to convey (...). Objective: to be creative enough to capture the attention of your audience and make readers want it. With reusable writing, making your communication profitable, increasing your notoriety and achieving your objectives (...) allows you to make a lasting impression over time. Because always keep in mind that the writing remains. Develop your visual approach, compare the coherence of the text with the guideline but also the coherence of the idea with the graphic concept: it is also a question of assuming the tasks of coordination. If you also wish to train yourself to write other content yourself, the training can include deepening your writing skills to give personality to your texts, developing ideas, concepts and their implementation, creativity/presentation techniques... all anchored in practical exercises and scenarios. ➤ THE COPYWRITER TRAINER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-European preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field.

The Writer’s Toolkit: Essays and Creativity Combined
Do you want to become a stronger, more confident writer? In this class, we will explore the art and craft of writing through two major areas: essay writing, where you will learn to organize your thoughts, craft clear arguments, and write with purpose and precision, and creative writing, where you will unlock your imagination while practicing storytelling, character development, and vivid description. Together, these two disciplines complement each other and will equip you to create compelling, well-crafted work in any project.

English Articles in Social Science and communication skills
1. Academic Writing This course equips students with the skills necessary to produce effective, coherent, and persuasive academic texts. It emphasises critical reading, argumentation, and the proper integration of sources using citation standards (e.g., APA or MLA). Students learn how to craft research questions, structure essays and reports, and revise their writing for clarity and precision. The course also addresses issues of plagiarism, language accuracy, and academic style, preparing learners to publish or present their work in scholarly settings. 2. Methods Course The methods course introduces students to research design and methodology in the social sciences (or other relevant disciplines). It covers both quantitative and qualitative approaches, highlighting sampling strategies, data collection techniques, and methods of analysis. Students gain practical experience with tools such as surveys, interviews, and statistical software, while also discussing epistemological foundations and ethical considerations. By the end, students are able to design and implement independent research projects, analyze findings, and critically evaluate existing studies. 3. Communication Skills This course focuses on developing effective verbal, non-verbal, and written communication in academic and professional contexts. It emphasizes public speaking, interpersonal communication, and digital communication practices, with attention to intercultural competence and adaptability in diverse settings. Students practice active listening, persuasive speaking, and conflict resolution strategies. The course also integrates real-world applications such as interview preparation, professional presentations, and teamwork, ensuring that learners are able to convey ideas clearly and confidently in both formal and informal environments.

Creative writing. Screenplays, analysis and storytelling.
I write screenplays and have directed films for cinema that I wrote myself. I am currently working on my own screenplays and as a s ript do tor and co-writer on various projects. Im also working on a book on story capture and story structure. I would be happy to start a conversation with anyone who needs guidance on this topic.

Writing effectively in English is a skill that will benefit you throughout your career—and in your personal life as well. This course covers reports, emails, presentations, proposals and other business communications based on relevant samples as well as real-world projects you have to produce for work. The emphasis is on clearly saying what you mean and giving your audience the information they need, in vivid phrasing that keeps them reading and responsive.
