I have taught through the medium of English for 15 years. In that time, I have tutored various age groups in private and public schools, finally concentrating on children ranging from ages 6 to 10.
I work hard to create authentic activities in the classroom to support the inquiry and successful first and second language acquisition as well as catering to differentiation according to learner readiness and learning styles. I ensure that the lessons are engaging through the use of a variety of methodologies, strategies, and activities. I am a strong advocate of pair and group work and am adept at encouraging inquisitiveness and guiding my students to generate knowledge and meaning from interaction. I try to leave no learning opportunity uncovered.
With a Master's degree in English Philology I have a full understanding of the methodology and pedagogy since the subject area of my studies was teaching.

On a more personal note, I love spending time with my two children, listening to good music, road trips, letters (those in envelopes and with stamps), any opportunity to read and write, Polish countryside and home cooking.
