Living in Trujillo, Peru

I was born and raised in Poland, in a small city half an hour away from Warsaw and have lived there until I was 23. I got my MA in Social Sciences from the University of Warsaw. I also studied in American Studies Center. In 2013, I moved to Peru where I live now and work as an English teacher. I love learning new languages and helping others to learn as well. The thing that makes me happy is traveling and reading about other countries and cultures. I can say that I am an avid reader. I love the stories that make me travel through time and space. I am always smiling and try to take life with a dose of humor. I have been teaching Polish on Italki for almost four years. My students say that I am very patient and positive teacher. I think that I can create the positive atmosphere in which the students feel comfortable and are not afraid to make mistakes and ask questions. First of all, I like to ask my students why they are learning the language and prepare the class based on their needs. I like to keep my classes dynamic and interesting for the student. I don't want to teach you things you will never use in real life. I believe that it is important that you try to speak from the very beginning so that's why I put a lot of emphasis on the communicative aspects of the language. In my classes I use a lot of dialogue drills and audiovisual tools.

Great lesson tonight with Dorota. Getting me set for travelling to Poland next week. Each time I visit Poland Dorota gets me ready preparing me for any possible situation. I feel really confident now. Have been studying with Dorota for a few years now and she is an exceptional teacher. I highly recommend her for teaching Polish. Thanks Dorota

Dorota is teaching me Polish through immersion , which means the lessons are mostly in Polish. It is the best way to learn if you have a skilled teacher. Of course, I'm sure she could teach in a more traditional way, if the student wants that instead.

Another fantastic lesson with Dorota. Learning so much really encourages me to be better at revision and the time I spend practicing Polish. Always learning new things and checking my understanding. 🇵🇱👍💯

I have wonderful experiance to learn together with Dorota. I like the opportunity to do homework and receive this feedback on every lesson. And if I have a problem with some Polish word, Dorota often inserts it into next materials. This really helps me remember problem words =) The environment for lessons is also perfectly set up. I have link at Google Docs and I can see all the materials and all the remarks, during all our lessons. I can return and repeat it. Highly recomend!

Great last lesson before I fly to Poland. Every year Dorota gets me finely tuned for going to Poland where my family originate from. She’s an absolutely fantastic teacher and I can’t recommend her enough. Her teaching style and patience are second to none. I have learnt so much over the past few years with her guidance and support. I look forward to many more years of tuition with Dorota. 💪💯🇵🇱
