About Me
italki teacher since Apr 16, 2023Interest topicTravelHealthReading
Hello! I'm a certified Polish and English teacher, traveler, polyglot, translator, and novel author. For the past 14 years, I have lived in 9 different countries across Europe, America, and Asia. I speak Polish, English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian. I currently live in Portugal. When I'm not teaching or writing, you can catch me kickboxing, dancing kizomba, finding my zen in meditation, or strolling along the Portuguese cliffs.Me as a Teacher
I have 14 years of experience in teaching both Polish and English to students all around the world. As for my education, I hold a master's degree in Philology, a university teaching qualification, and a CELTA diploma. When I teach, it is important for me to get to know you well and tailor my content to your needs. I place particular emphasis on the feedback I give you during the session, so you can improve right away. Most of all, I love making my students laugh and have fun with the languages so the experience is educational and fun at the same time. I currently have a lovely community of Polish learners on my social media channels, where I post entertaining and dynamic content daily.My lessons & teaching style
I teach individual and group classes, both face-to-face and online, and via self-created video courses. I use the communicative and task-based approach, where the focus is on the student and their ability to immediately and effectively apply the lesson content to their personal and professional lives. Having worked for many years in English language schools, I am highly competent in preparing students for the Cambridge exams: CPE, CAE, FCE, IELTS.
As a native Polish speaker and linguist, I emphasize in my approach both the understanding of the language system as well as its functionality in real life, incorporating colloquialisms and authentic current affairs material into my lessons.My teaching material

Elena jest świetną nauczycielką języka polskiego! Na naszej pierwszej lekcji przedstawiliśmy się i prowadziliśmy ciekawą rozmowę. Porozmawiałem z Eleną z wielką przyjemnością.
