Lilly Marie Lamar
Hello, I’m Lilly-Marie Lamar. I’m an American, here in Poland to experience the language and culture, and to have the chance to teach outside the US. Before coming here, I worked in American colleges and universities for three years, teaching some native and many foreign students. I’m patient, creative, and happy to tailor each class to the individual student’s needs. The part I love most about teaching conversation is getting to know people. This helps me to design classes that are relevant and interesting to each student. I am a good listener, a good communicator, and create a relaxed and fun setting for learning with tea and good conversation.
