BACK TO TEACHING AFTER A SABBATICAL! I have been living and working in an English-speaking country, South Africa, since 2011. I'm a native Polish speaker, but I'm also fluent in French and Italian and have a professional working proficiency in Spanish. I work as a multilingual researcher, and I do some writing on the side.

Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching Polish, French, English, and occasionally Italian, mostly 1-on-1, for many years. My experience in teaching French and English exceeds 15 years. I have a Master's Degree in English Studies, a TEFL certificate and a DALF C2 certificate in French.
I know how to teach, but as a multilingual person I also know how to learn. I've tested countless tools and techniques on myself. I aced B2 exams in French and Italian after fewer than 3 years of learning so I know a lot about effective language learning.

My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are interesting and engaging. I'll make sure that you speak as much as possible during our sessions. I use different teaching materials to help you progress faster. I also have many recommendations for resources that you can use between our sessions.

Magda is a truly incredible teacher in every way possible, seriously! I've been learning with her for about a year and in that time, I managed to climb from a beginner to an advanced level, gained confidence that I didn't have before, and improved my accent. The range of materials that Magda chose for each week was always engaging and fun while remaining relevant to current affairs and my personal interests. The few times I needed help in preparation for my university French classes, she was more than willing to help, motivating me to push myself further and achieve more. I sincerely cannot recommend her enough and to all the people who choose to buy a lesson with her in May, go for it! You're not going to be disappointed.

I am very happy with this first lesson with Magdalena. She puts you at ease and has an effective teaching method. I am sure that, thanks to her support, I will be able to improve my English.

I'm excited to work with Magda on my state exam - she is very knowledgeable and systematic with her approach, and her own rich experience with languages is a huge plus as well!

This was a good Polish lesson with Magdalena. She helped me to make a plan to learn some basic phrases for an upcoming trip to Poland

Magdalena provided a great first lesson. She gently pushed and supported me as I tried to regain some of my language, and though it was hard, it felt good. She did a great job of keeping track of the words and phrases I was struggling with so that I could review them between lessons.
