Private language lessons - individually or in small groups

Dear Sirs! Dear Learners!

As an experienced lecturer and teacher of foreign languages I would like to share with you my knowledge and passion for foreign languages. Translation process can by characterised by a high degree of work individualisation, on the other hand teaching foreign languages implies an extensive cooperation between the teacher and the learner so that the latter can learn and use the language as effectively as possible.

Learning a new language means rediscovering this same reality surrounding us constantly, but this time by viewing it through new vocabulary stock, new language structures and expressions. Therefore I pay particular attention to learning by creating contextualized situations ("live" language dialogues!), using real-life expressions and reacting to the world around us by making use of newly acquired linguistic structures. According to Ludwig Wittgenstein's motto: "Die Grenzen der Sprache sind die Grenzen der Welt." (Boundaries of a language are the boundaries of the world.) It is worth crossing these boundaries, isn't it?

The offer below is aimed at everyone (each group) who wishes to speak English, German or French fluently. I am not indicating the level of your skills! It is up to the learner to make his/her decisions about their goals and how far he/she wants to work out language skills (Remember! There are no limits, we can only impose them upon ourselves!). My task consists in showing you the most efficient and quickest way of reaching that goal.

My way of teaching is based upon my long lingustic experience and language knowledge acquired both in Poland and abroad (German - and French-speaking countries), foreign languages teaching qualifications I gained during my work for various educational institutions (in private and state sector) in Opole and in Opole province (also as a state examiner for New Matura English). I am also a holder of ZOP (Zentrale Oberstufenprüfung) and DALF C2(Diplôme Approfondi de la Langue Française) European language certificates. Here is the offer:
