Hi, I teach English to all ages and levels. I have been teaching for the past 10 years in Poland, Turkey, and Czech Republic. I currently reside in Tartu, Estonia but I am available to give lessons via Skype, Facebook messenger, or Google chat to anywhere in Poland. I'm very flexible and can teach you evenings or weekends, whatever is convenient for you! I tailor each lesson for each individual and we can work on grammar, speaking, or specialized English.
I speak Polish and Russian and I like traveling and cats. Send me a message and we can get started!
