MAGDALENA Cieślak English teacher
“Learning a foreign language is much more than learning new names for the same things. It's learning a new way of thinking about them." There are more advantages to learning a foreign language than those known to many. It's a great asset to the cognitive process , it makes us develop and allows to gain a totally new perspective. It's a key point of any language class to provide students with guidance and make the lesson an intellectual adventure, a journey, a new experience for both the student and the teacher.”
Magda has over 15 years of teaching experience at standard courses, corporate trainings and EU projects. She graduated from the English Philology and Economics Department at Applied Linguistics Institute with specialty in Business English. Her hobbies are travelling and interior design.

BARBARA Staszewska Customer service
I am, above all, a mother – and it's this role that gives me the most joy and satisfaction every day. I derive immense happiness from being close to my children, watching them grow and discovering the world together. For some time I lived in London and worked in the hospitality industry. It was a time full of challenges, but also an incredibly valuable experience. I met many inspiring and interesting people there. Working in an international environment taught me openness, flexibility as well as consideration for others. I value simple pleasures every day – walks, cycling, and discovering new places. I relax by doing gardening and reading books. These activities allow me to pause, catch my breath and recharge my batteries.

I have been teaching English since I was a student myself in 2018 and I love it more every day. I get a lot of satisfaction from it. I strongly believe that the rapport between instructor and student is a significant factor in the overall learning process, that is why I respect and care for my students.

DOMINIKA Nowakowicz English teacher
I am a graduate of English Philology at the University of Silesia and postgraduate studies for simultaneous and consecutive interpreters. I have been teaching for over 20 years (yes, SERIOUSLY) and it always gives me great satisfaction to see my students achieve their language goals - be it passing exams or going on a stress-free holiday abroad. Because above all, it’s about breaking down communication barriers and speaking freely - it really does open us up to the world and other people. And this is what I try to support my students in.
Privately, I can’t imagine life without going to independent concerts (it’s loud and fast), books and travelling, I play board games, try to practice yoga and learn languages. Oh, and I have a cat 😉

GRZEGORZ Stańczyk English teacher
"Learning English is like walking through a door into a new and huge world that has always been there. Do you want to be able to see it and get to know it?"
A graduate of English philology, passionate about traveling and exploring the new and unknown in life. After graduation, he went to Scotland for 7 years, wanting to immerse himself in the language and culture of this English-speaking country, to be able to come back and share his experiences and knowledge with others. He has been dealing with English from an early age.
For him, communication is the basis for building everything, which is why he emphasizes the understanding and correct pronunciation of verbal messages.
Self-improvement is the only and right way forward for him.

ADAM Ptok English teacher
I am a second-year student of English philology, and I have been teaching English for the past two years. I’ve worked with students of various ages, some of whom have been with me since I began, and they are still with me now! I always create a positive atmosphere during my lessons because I believe that learning can be both fun and incredibly useful. I feel destined to help others, as I derive great pleasure from it. In my free time, besides studying languages, I try to gain knowledge in various fields of study. I'm also into football and regularly visit the gym. Most importantly, I inspire others to gain knowledge!

KATARZYNA Redding English teacher
” Language is not a genetic gift, it is a social gift. Learning a new language is becoming a member of the club – the community of speakers of that language.”
I've been inviting people to join the English speaking club for over 15 years now.
In my free time, I love reading biographies and go snowboarding. Sailing is my passion – I am a sailing instructor as well, but what I do most often, is long walks with my family.

JOANNA Wiśniewska English teacher
Joanna Wisniewska, a graduate of the University of Silesia in Katowice, is a teacher with many years of experience in teaching English.
Outside the classroom, she likes to feel the wind in her hair while cycling, and spends her evenings most happily with the sounds of The Beatles' music…..and if you ever hear a Spanish accent in her pronunciation, it's because she loves to improve her Spanish language skills.
As for her sense of humour, she loves dad jokes. This ensures that the atmosphere in her class is always relaxed and friendly, and that learning goes like clockwork.

RADAN Jovanovic Italian, Spanish and English teacher
As a world wanderer with a nomadic soul, it was a challenge for me to settle down in one place. This is why I feel that teaching the languages I've learned during my travels is like a way of keeping myself on the road, yet with both feet still on the ground. It gives me enormous satisfaction to be able to pass on the cultures and languages I've absorbed in my lifetime. Seeing my students' interest, enjoyment and progress makes me re-experience those adventures once again. What’s more, it's more than just personal satisfaction, it feels like it's passing on a legacy.

MARTYNA Lukowiec Spanish teacher
"I think the perfect voiceover is the one that follows the maxim of Immanuel Kant. This German Enlightenment philosopher became famous among others a living ethical principle to this day, formulated in many ways, which in this particular case should read: Teach only as if you yourself would be taught always and by others. "
Martyna is a graduate of the University of Silesia, where she obtained a master's degree in Spanish philology. Already at undergraduate studies, she began working as a teacher, teaching mainly children and youth. Twice she was on a foreign scholarship in Spain. She spends her free time reading crime novels and watching La Liga.

AGATA Sobolewska
German teacher
A philologist by profession. In my free time I support my children in pursuing their passions. I also love the mountains and skiing. The smiles of my students are priceless!
Oh, I also talk a lot 😉 selbstverständlich auf deutsch
PATRYCJA Stefanowska
English teacher
For me, a foreign language is like opening a door to a new world. And this is sometimes a completely different world, whilst at the same time so similar that it can be hard to believe. It’s an opportunity to meet new cultures, opinions and traditions. Language is a never- ending journey, an engaging adventure and sometimes also a big challenge.
I’ll make an effort to lead you through the wild mazes of English grammar and countless deposits of foreign sounding words, all in the company of good humour and without any fear of making mistakes, because it’s the only way we can learn anything!
