About me ↗

Got any specific requirements?

I am committed to helping my students achieve their language learning goals. I offer a range of courses at different levels, from beginner to expert, and I am happy to work with you to create a tailor-made course that suits your needs and schedule.

Expert: This level is suitable for individuals who have a high level of proficiency in the language and are looking to use it for academic or professional purposes. At this level, students will learn advanced grammar and vocabulary, as well as how to express themselves fluently and accurately in a wide range of academic contexts. By the end of this level, students should be able to understand and produce complex written and oral texts, and be able to participate in academic discussions and debates.

If you are interested in booking a lesson with me, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to helping you succeed and achieve fluency in the language.

Testimonials

Katarzyna is a fantastic tutor. She made me feel very relaxed and confident from the get go. She’s very patient which was a big thing for me as it allows you to take your time to get it right. I also appreciate the breaks from studying as it allows my mind to reset and I always feel more focussed afterwards. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Polish!

Jacob

Kat has been absolutely fantastic! I have found learning Polish very fun and always look forward to the next lesson. Kat uses good teaching techniques including re-iteration on every lesson and it is then you really get a sense of how far you have come. Not only is she a fantastic teacher but a genuinely lovely person who is interested in why you want to learn the language which helps her to plan targeted lessons that keep the learning relevant and enjoyable.

Katarzyna is exactly the teacher I was looking for. Her teaching skills are excellent and she seems able to adapt perfectly to my particular level and requirements, even though it is probably atypical. She has given me some useful insight into Polish culture as well as teaching me the language, and is always forthcoming with praise, which is enormously encouraging. Kat manages to be very friendly and personable at the same time as being professional, prompt and reliable. I’m extremely impressed!
