Tim Harrell

Hello! My name is Tim and I’m from Staffordshire in the heart of England.

I have a qualification in English Teaching and 4 years experience (3 in Poland). I speak intermediate Polish also. After travelling the world for around 2 years and after having visited 35 countries in total I decided to make my home in Poland

My original background is in Finance and Information Technology and I worked in the field of banking (Credit Risk) for several years in the City of London. During my earlier career I realised that the thing I enjoy most is training other people. I teach because I find it an enjoyable and rewarding vocation.

Now based in Warsaw, I have my own company and I work in the National Bank of Poland, the Ministry of Culture and for one of the top-rated language schools in Warsaw (an approved Cambridge ESOL centre) amongst others.
