About

About Me & My Approach

Are you stuck at a C1/C2 plateau, feeling confident in grammar but hesitant during high-stakes business calls, negotiations, or informal networking?

Teaching and coaching in Poland since 2000, I have spent over a quarter of a century helping Polish executives, software engineers, lawyers, and corporate leads master real-world British English.

My Philosophy: Real Conversation in a Safe, Open Environment I don’t believe in rigid textbooks or intimidating drills. Real fluency happens when you feel completely relaxed and free to make mistakes without judgment.

My approach is built on transparency, warmth, and genuine human connection. I bring my own life experiences into our discussions to create a comfortable, low-pressure space. When the pressure is off, you naturally relax, open up, and speak with confidence—using your mistakes as stepping stones rather than obstacles.

What We Focus On

  • Executive & Professional Conversation: Current affairs, business news, industry trends, and leadership topics tailored to your exact sector.

  • Career Scenarios: Advanced negotiation techniques, handling challenging meetings, job interviews, and mock telephone/video calls.

  • Nuance & Diplomatic Tone: Learning natural phrasing, British idioms, and informal workplace "small talk" so you sound natural and fluent with native clients.

  • Written Communication Polishing: Guidance on professional email etiquette and presentation structuring.

Track Record

Over the past two decades, I have provided tailored conversational training for individual professionals as well as institutional clients, including:

  • IT Programmers, Software Architects, and Tech Lead Teams

  • Medical Professionals, Researchers, and University Academics

  • Corporate Directors, Lawyers, and Senior Consultants

  • Translation Agencies and Polish Business Chambers

Format & Rates

  • 100% Remote via Microsoft Teams

  • Rate: 100 PLN per 60-minute session

  • B2B Invoicing Available

I offer a free 30-minute introductory chat to assess your goals, get to know each other, and see how we can work together.

Why this addition works:

  • Validates the student's anxiety: Many professionals are afraid of sounding foolish. Framing your openness as a intentional technique shows them you understand their stress.

  • Sets expectations: It tells the client that sessions feel like authentic, peer-to-peer conversations rather than an interrogation by a strict teacher.
