About Me

I hold a bachelor's degree in ESL and I have a master's degree in linguistics. Except for English and Polish I also speak Russian quite well.Me as a Teacher
I'm a full-time teacher of English in a state and private school in Warsaw. I have been teaching English in a classroom for over 20 years, both to children and adults from levels A1 to C1.
I respect all my students and I try to encourage and motivate them first of all, giving them a lot of praise and showing them how easy English is.
I have a lot of experience teaching special needs children.
I demand from myself a lot first of all, trying to be very creative at the same time.
I prepare Polish students for Gymnasium Exam and Egzamin Omoklasity, which are state exams.My lessons & teaching style
Generally I use communicative approach which practices four language skills: speaking, reading, listening and writing. I stick mainly to Oxford and Express Publishing materials , but with more advanced students I like to tailor-made my lessons as what they need most is conversation. I believe that learning grammar and vocabulary goes far better through speaking rather than doing traditional written exercises in a workbook. With my learners we often retell stories for which we like to make funny drawings, we also act out everyday dialogues: in a shop, in the street, in a restaurant, at a party etc, or we talk about particular topic, eg. "my hobby", "my neighborhood", "my best day".My teaching material

wonderful lessons! Lucia is having a great time learning! Lu said she is probably speaking more Polish than French now even though she only started learning Polish with Margarita for 2 weeks and she took French for almost a year! Margarita knows how to deliver her lessons in a fun and effective way! We can’t say enough “Thank you” to such a wonderful and exceptional teacher!

This is 33rd lesson and I look forward to many more. Małgorzata intuitively understands how the human mind learns. How do I know? Because I almost always remember stuff, despite no rote learning involved! Genius.
So much, I am even considering taking leave at work or lowering my workdays, so I can focus even more with Małgorzata's lessons.
Folks, drop dull coursebooks already and sign up with Małgorzata! Specially you guys like me, self-motivated.

Super as always - Margarita had me ask questions about a story. Not being sure of how to ask a question sometimes prevents me from communicating with Polish speakers so this was very helpful. She is such a supportive and encouraging teacher who I would recommend to all looking to learn Polish or English at any stage. 10 stars!!

Margarita is always very helpful and encouraging. I never feel like i'm doing things wrong because she's so supportive. She structures lessons really well and tailors things to your level so you can learn at a pace that is comfortable to you.
