Daria

Certified Tutor

I have completed MSc in Experimental Psychology at the University of Bristol, BA in Journalism and Social Communication at Jagiellonian University, and I soon will complete BA in Creative Photography at the Institute of Creative Photography in Opava.

I believe that knowledge has great power and I love teaching subjects I feel passionate about. I have years of experience as a private tutor as well as a lecturer, teaching languages and photography. I have worked with children and adults, adapting my teaching methods to individual expectations, abilities, and personal preferences. I do my best to create a safe space for expression, learning, and experimentation where everyone feels welcome, making sure that my student makes the most of our time together and leaves my class inspired and empowered.

I am passionate about photography, being an artist using this medium myself. I consider it a powerful storytelling tool shaping the world around us and defining the way we communicate with each other. Whether you are beginning your photographic journey or you need more specific knowledge, I'll be glad to assist you in meeting your own artistic potential. Examples of topics you might be interested in include photography basics, composition, new trends in photography, the history of photography, methods of self-help through photography, or more specific types of photography such as documentary, studio, fashion, creative, and many more.

Learning another language provides a new lens through which we see the world, and as Ludwig Wittgenstein famously stated, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." As a native Polish speaker, I also teach the Polish language, making sure that my students gain knowledge and confidence in all its aspects, such as grammar, vocabulary, writing, and speaking. Knowing the impact inspiration has on learning outcomes, I also do my best to ignite a passion for the language and the culture it is connected to, choosing engaging materials individually for each student.

Outside of academia, I love to travel, camping, martial arts, music, and films.
