Hi! I am a Polish native who is highly interested in languages and linguistics, and I would love to share what I know with others. I am currently based in Krakow, so I am available for online classes.
This year I graduated from UCL, I was reading Scandinavian Studies (with Swedish as my main language). Within the last 5 years I have lived in 4 different countries (US, UK, Sweden and Poland) so I am no stranger to things like dialectal differences of languages or the variety of cultural customs.

Availability: Depends on the day

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Currently I work part-time as an English tutor in a language school in Krakow. My teaching style is mostly based on conversations, as I believe that overcoming the fear of speaking is the most important skill to master while learning a language. While I was living in London I also used to teach Polish, mainly through Tutorhunt.
Other than that, I have always been interested in languages which is reflected by my academic achievements. I graduated from UCL with an honours degree and an overall classification of First. Before that, I finished the International Baccalaureate with a score of 38/45 points with 6 (7 being best) in both English and Polish
Moreover, I have a lot of experience in childcare - I worked as an au pair for a year and as a nanny for 3 - thus I understand the need for patience and empathy in learning (this is important both for adults just as much as for children!) and I am not afraid of challenges.
