Dziękuję bardzo za wspaniałą lekcję! przedstawiłem się i pisała bardzo pomocne notatki dla mnie. Poprawiła błędy, o których inni nauczycieli nigdy mi nie powiedzieli! I pomogła mi dowiedzieć się dlaczego ludzie czasami myślą, że jestem z Ukrainy, haha! Dzięki!

I had a great first lesson with Diana, she is organised (we set expectations before the class, she had a clear plan and followed up with the class materials straight away), very knowledgable and her teaching method flowed in a way that was natural and comfortable. I now know some key Polish words and phrases, as well as some pronunciation rules which she explained brilliantly. Looking forward to the next class!

Another great and funny lesson for my boy. He's quite shy and was at first afraid of this lessons. But with each lesson he is more and more at ease. The teacher provides various learning materials, presents teaching objectives before lesson and gives us feedback afterwards.

I’ve been learning from Diana for several months now and I’ve learned so much. It is hard to remember where I started with almost zero knowledge of Polish. Diana is patient, empathetic, extremely professional, and overall, a pleasure to work with. She has a deep understanding of what people go through while learning Polish especially for English speakers. There would be times where I would struggle with certain sounds and Diana knew exactly how to break it down to help me overcome any issues I had. I feel more confident after every single session with Diana, and if you want to learn Polish but find it daunting, Diana is the perfect teacher!

Diana is a phenomenal teacher! she professional, empathetic, and generally just very effective. All great things you would expect from a great teacher. But I think what sets Diana apart is her masterful knowledge of linguistics and speech. For those intimidated by Polish pronunciation, Diana is so skilled at breaking down those daunting Polish sounds many English speakers struggle with. She can pinpoint the exact problem you are having, whether it's grammar or pronunciation, and not only help you address it but help you understand why it's difficult. As a bonus, I've never met someone with such knowledge of linguistic origins. I have a long way to go learning Polish, but I can safely say I come out of every lesson with Diana feeling more confident
