Simon Porter

Hello! I’m an English native (originally from London) that has been living in Poland for the last 5 years. I am a Law graduate with honours from Cardiff University and I have years many years experience successfully preparing students for the following exams:
FCE, CAE, CPE, ILEC, LCCI, BEC (all levels), IELTS and Matura exams.

On top of helping students of all ages succeed with above exams I’ve worked with high level staff (Presidents, Vice-Presidents & Directors) in companies such as Play, TP SA, DAS, Bank PKO and Bank du Nord helping them with financial, legal, business and general English skills.

I work with a very prestigious British school in the centre of Warsaw teaching exam classes to a very high level with a very high success rate.
A few years ago I saw a gap in the market as traditional methods of teaching weren’t effective teaching modern English within the workplace. So I started my own company ENGlish Language Solutions (ENGLAS) to fill that hole and teach English using new ideas and methodologies which deliver fast, effective and memorable results. My current business clients develop their language skills faster and more effectively compared to blindly following a textbook and the results are there for all to see. Improved skill, improved accuracy, improved confidence and belief in themselves.
To deal with another area of English ignored by textbooks I co-founded Warsaw Weekday Nights English Workout (WWNEW) to help students of English develop their social language skills. Many people can speak English within specific areas, be it finance, marketing or human resources. Not many however, can speak casual, social English within a relaxed setting. WWNEW was set up to fill this gap.
