Hi, my name's Yana :)
I was lucky to study in three universities, four specialities, in two countries. I have many certificates from various courses and volunteer programs. BUT I know people who didn't graduate, and they have more knowledge than any University Professor. I know people who didn't need a degree to run a successful business. I believe in human potential and that everyone, ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE, is able to learn anything, especially foreign languages. Therefore, I would like to be the teacher who inspires others to believe in themselves and their abilities.Me as a Teacher
My goal is to make lessons as interesting as possible and help you to break your language barriers.
✓ 8 years of experience in teaching Polish and Russian
✓ worked with adults
✓ Magister's degree in Applied Linguistics (Translations and Teaching Foreign Languages)
Therefore, I know everything about the specifics of teaching both from a theoretical and practical point of view. (For example, I know how to learn words so that they are most quickly remembered; what techniques are most effective in learning, etc.).My lessons & teaching style
Practice makes perfect :) I use communicative approach which practices different skills as speaking, grammar, listening, writing, reading, vocabulary and phonetics.

I have been learning Polish with Yana for the past 1,5 year on a weekly basis. She is very professional and organized, she can adapt her teaching style to the student's needs. She always asks for feedback at the end of each lesson. Overall I can say I improved a lot thanks to lessons with Yana from a complete beginner to understanding almost everything in Polish.
