Our Polish teachers

I started out as a graduate in Polish Philology at the Jagiellonian University, dreaming of working among books. However, I very quickly discovered that teaching is my true passion! I have been teaching Polish as a foreign language since 1995 – with enthusiasm, openness and a smile. There are no boring lectures in my lessons – instead, there are games, scenes and tasks that motivate students to speak Polish. I immerse students in Polish from the beginning and introduce grammar naturally, in the context of conversation.
I love travelling, good books and ambitious cinema – and I try to convey this curiosity about the world to my students in every lesson.

I have been teaching Polish as a foreign language since 2009. I graduated from Polish Philology at Jagiellonian University, I work as an examiner and trainer, and for years I have been associated with GLOSSA School of Polish.
I specialise in working with the communicative method: from the very first lesson, speaking is the most important thing! In my lessons, I use a variety of materials and games, and I create tasks that help break down the language barrier. I love my job because through it I get to know people, their countries and cultures every day – and I learn together with them. I believe that a good atmosphere is the key to effective learning, so my lessons are always friendly, fun and active.
Privately, I am a mum, I love good books, cinema and trips with my son.

I am a Polish language teacher (Jagiellonian University) and I have been teaching Polish as a foreign language since 1997. For years I have been running group and individual courses at GLOSSA Polish Language School for students from all over the world. I focus on natural communication: in my lessons we speak only Polish from the first day! Grammar? Yes – but only as a tool, never as an end in itself. I always tailor my classes to the needs of my students, so every course is a little different.
Privately, I love travelling, photography, theatre and a good book – especially crime fiction. I love nature, cycling and winter skiing. At home, I am always accompanied by my cat Figa and music from RMF Classic.

As a graduate of Polish philology (UJ) and postgraduate studies in teaching Polish as a foreign language (UŚ), I have been teaching students from all over the world for years with passion and optimism – at the GLOSSA School, at the University of Economics, stationary and online. I also provide training for teachers in Poland and abroad. Communication is the most important thing for me in my lessons – students speak Polish from the very beginning, and I support them with gestures, facial expressions and… a good atmosphere. I use original phonetic exercises, games and scenes in order to adjust the classes to the needs of a particular person.
Privately, I love theatre, Ibero-American literature, I collect masks and I never refuse a batch of puns!

I graduated in Polish Philology from Jagiellonian University and did my internship at the University of Udine in Italy. Since the beginning of my work, I have been looking for ways to make learning not only effective but also interesting.
I rely on a communicative approach: conversations, games, simulations of real situations. Grammar? It is important – but only as a tool to communicate freely. I tailor each class to the students’ needs and goals.
The teaching profession combines many of my interests – I like to look at language as a detective puzzle – it may seem confusing, but you just have to find the right key and everything becomes clear. Exchanging thoughts and opinions is like discovering new lands. Putting the pieces of a lesson together is as rewarding as a well-played board game, but perhaps most importantly, you get to be the guide who helps students reach their chosen destination.

I have always been fascinated by foreign languages, which is why I have a great understanding of what my students face when learning Polish. I am particularly fond of Slavic languages and the culture of the Balkans, which has become my great passion.
I graduated from Polish Philology at Jagiellonian University with a specialisation in teaching Polish as a foreign language. I cooperate with the GLOSSA School and run courses at Jagiellonian University, teaching both groups and individual students at all levels. I also prepare for certificate exams at B1-C1 levels.
I focus on variety in my lessons – we write, read, listen and, above all, speak a lot of Polish.Every student is different – that is why I adjust my style of work to the needs of the group and build a friendly atmosphere in which learning becomes a pleasure.
In my free time, you can meet me in Krakow’s cafes or at concerts.

I am a teacher of Polish as a foreign language and have been working with the GLOSSA School for several years, teaching online at the e-polish.eu platform.

I am a graduate of teaching Polish as a foreign language at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. I have given lessons to students from almost all continents, at levels from A0 to C1, both children and teenagers and adults. I enjoy teaching, as well as meeting new people and talking about culture and foreign languages.

I graduated from Polish Philology at the University of Silesia, specialising in teaching Polish as a foreign language. I started my adventure with teaching in the Czech Republic, where I worked in a non-governmental organization, teaching children and adults, then I worked in various language schools.
In my lessons I focus on individual approach and good atmosphere. I am patient, I like to answer questions and I care about making everyone feel at ease. I use various materials and multimedia, and enrich conversations with additional inspirations so that it is never boring. I also share Polish culture – after all, language is more than words!
I love the Polish language and literature, and I also really enjoy various outdoor activities – walking in the mountains, cycling, walking, dancing, travelling.

I started my path with Russian philology at Jagiellonian University, graduating in 2010. I taught Russian for several years. In 2012, I started working with young people from Eastern Europe, preparing them for their studies in Poland – and that was the moment when I fell in love with the Polish language all over again. I discovered its logic, richness of meaning and unique beauty. In 2016, I completed a postgraduate degree in teaching Polish as a foreign language at the Pedagogical University of Krakow – and I have been teaching mainly Polish ever since.
I believe that in the teaching process it is essential to embed the lesson in a concrete situation from everyday life. Referring to the student’s experiences and interests increases their motivation and brings great results. At the initial stage of learning, I put emphasis on phonetics, which is a big barrier for many students. Although I always put speaking skills first, I also take care of grammatical correctness, the lack of which is often another obstacle to communication.

I have been teaching Polish language for 7 years.
I graduated from Polish Studies at Jagiellonian University with a specialization in teaching Polish as a foreign language.
I use a communicative and intercultural approach in my teaching.

I enjoy learning languages and sharing this with others – comparing how we look at the same phenomena in different cultures and describe them in different languages. I speak English, Russian, weakly French, and I study German and Hungarian, so I have a good understanding of what my students face.
I graduated in Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw, and started teaching in the 1990s – first at the Jagiellonian University’s Summer School of Polish, then at the GLOSSA School. I have worked with people from different countries and at different levels – from beginners to advanced. I value the individual approach: everyone learns differently and pays attention to something different. Therefore, in my lessons, the material can be anything – a film, a song, a dialogue, or a personal story. I believe that language is like our lives – unpredictable and changeable, shaped by what we experience. At the same time, it has strict, logical laws that help us navigate this spontaneous chaos. This is why, from the beginning, I have emphasised the importance of grammar as an aid, not a hindrance to learning.
