Hi, 
)
over the years that I have lived in Krakow, I have become familiar with the problems Polish students encounter on their road to success.
I help people to enjoy speaking and writing English, and to advance technically.
My style, I am told, is very confidence-building. I have taught all age groups and all levels of English. I can do technical grammar lessons or interesting, conversation lessons on almost any topic. I can help both children and senior managers to get the most out of our meetings. My youngest student this year is six [Mr Men] and my most senior is an HR manager [ emails to America ]. Both are making progress and enjoying the lessons.
Every year brings new challenges. The experience I have built up through running businesses, teaching in many schools in the UK and Poland,and doing research for students, always proves valuable when planning courses.
