About Me
italki teacher since Jan 14, 2017InterestsHistoryMusicFilms & TV SeriesFoodTravel
With over four decades of teaching experience—including a decade in California—I specialize in transforming English learners into confident, fluent speakers through dynamic, conversation-based instruction. Holding a degree in linguistics from the University of Wrocław and dual Polish American citizenship, I offer a unique blend of academic expertise and real-world language application. My tailored approach adapts to diverse goals, whether exam preparation (TOEFL, FCE) or mastering conversational fluency across cultural topics like history, travel, and global affairs. Let’s collaborate to make English your authentic medium of expression.Me as a Teacher
I have extensive experience teaching English for various purposes and helping students prepare for Cambridge exams and IELTS.
I am very familiar with the latest resources and achievements in teaching English. I have extensive experience using the latest computer and internet programs, which makes my classes exciting and interactive.
I have traveled extensively abroad on many continents, which has given me a lot of experience and made me culturally aware. I convey knowledge holistically, pay attention to the language, and develop. My lessons & teaching style
About Halina's teaching,
I am a passionate Polish speaker of foreign languages and an English teacher from Poland. Teaching is a considerable portion of my lifetime. With that understanding, I am a lifelong learner.
Technology gives us many new possibilities. I prefer blended learning, which combines traditional face-to-face techniques with the opportunities presented by novel technologies.
My students learn to sing phrases and expressions, tell stories, and create authentic language situations. I have an individual approach to the client's openness to his needs and priorities.
Personal commitment and excellent understanding of the processes related to learning a foreign language.My teaching material

English TeacherIn the classroom, technology can encompass all sorts of devices from low-tech pencil, newspaper publisher, and chalkboard, to the utilization of presentation software, or high-tech tablets, online collaboration, and conferencing tools, and more. The new technologies allow us to try things in physical and virtual classrooms that were not possible before. What you use depends fundamentally on what you are attempting to reach.
