Anna

First at all, thank you for taking time to read my profile:-)
My name is Anna I am experienced, highly qualified and extremely patient teacher of Polish who really loves her job:) I've graduated from the University of Silesia in Poland ( Master Degree at Philology and Methodology of Teaching Polish )therefore I'm highly qualified to teach Polish on all levels - from Early Years to University.
While working in Poland I have taught Polish in primary and secondary schools, also have taught English as a foreign language. Teaching is my passion so when I moved to England in 2008 I've been teaching Polish as a foreign language to people whom cooperated with Poland within businesses, people whom work with Polish people in England, also with people who have a relationships with Poles. Apart from that I've also been teaching Polish children and helping them with English.
I am also certificated in The Core Foundation for Teaching and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL ) and I hold a Qualified Teacher Status ( QTS ). In a close future I am planning to provide TEFL and KS1 Maths/English/Science tuitions.
For the last 15years I've been working as a primary teacher therefore have an experience working with Autistic Spectrum and Special Education Needs settings.
If you choose me as your tutor you won't have to pay extra for textbooks as all handbooks are included in the course price. The textbooks are designed for students that want to learn Polish as a second, third or fourth language but everyone has a different needs and my lessons are tailored exactly to my student's current language level.
I offer group tuition as well, if you interested, please contact me for pricing details.

Tutoring Approach

Teaching is my passion and I always assess my students to tailor the learning to student needs' - you will not waste your time with me, I will teach you exactly what you would like to learn and what you need! You will not need to get any textbooks for my lessons because I will provide you with all the resources needed to match level of your skills. The resources provided are high quality resources suitable for non-native speakers of Polish. When appropriate I will email you our recordings (listening to dialogues) from the class so you can practise your pronunciation and grammar wherever and whenever you would like to. If you are not sure, yet, please read some of my students feedback :

"To whom it may concern,
I have used Ania as a Polish tutor for the last month. I have found her a very good teacher and very, very patient!
I can recommend her highly.
regards,
Chris"

"I was very nervous about having one to one tuition, as i have never done so before but Ania was very welcoming and put me at ease immediately.

The lessons are well structured and are at a pace that suited my learning. I had the option of doing lessons via Skype but decided on face to face lessons as Ania was local to my area and i felt i could get more from the lessons that way. However, it is good to know that should i not be able to travel, then the lessons can still go ahead online! :-)
I have really enjoyed my first few lessons and look forward to many more to come.
Ania is very enthusiastic and approachable which makes the lessons fun and learning easier. I would recommend to anyone wanting to learn the foundations of the Polish language. Jon. "

" It's my first experience to have classes via Skype, I was not sure how this could work out and was not sure what the results could be, therefore felt quite nervous at the beginning.

Ania has an easy-going, friendly and welcoming way of teaching, always with a set of activities which keep the lessons interesting and challenging at the same time, but not stressful.

After 3 months I am quite confident on the progress with my knowledge of Polish, getting good understanding of grammar, pronunciation and fighting my challenges in writing.

What is also important for me is to keep flexible schedule for my classes, and this fits perfectly with Ania.

I would gladly recommend Ania to all who would want to learn Polish. Tania."

"Anna is an inspirational teacher. She has excellent qualifications and she is very experienced in teaching languages. She is very friendly and her enthusiasm gives you the confidence to develop your pronunciation and grammar. She is patient, understanding and very warm with her instruction. If you do your home work you will progress quickly and enjoy your journey. I have no hesitation in recommending her. Tim."
