Katarzyna: Wood Dale tutor

Certified Tutor

I consider learning as exploring the world and it's opportunities!
We never know how something new may impact our life and why it is important to follow the dreams. Nevertheless, it is worth it! Learning gives us the opportunity to broaden the mind and learn new ways of approaching a subject of our interest.
I have had about 18 years of experience in teaching languages at various levels to different groups of people. It brings me a great satisfaction to see how my students grow and pursue their educational and life goals!
As one of my loveliest passions is travelling, I've lived on three continents (Europe, Australia, North America), in four different countries (Poland, Austria, Australia, the USA). It's been an adventure which gave me formal, cultural, and diverse education. My main scope of teaching experience consists of languages (I speak Polish, English, German, and a little bit of Russian) but I will eagerily explore the other subjects with you! So far, I have accomplished BA in English Studies (major) and German Studies (minor) in Poland, then MA in English Studies in Austria and Poland. I also did some additional courses in Health and Leisure, Aged Care and Dementia in Australia. At present, I'm learning UX Design and exploring new ways of problem solving and approaching clients' needs.
What I try to do is teaching through experiencing. While having a lesson, I find a good communication with students, get to know their interests and goals of studying, discover best learning methods, and present various materials and teaching techniques to get my students become successful. Besides, presenting the ways of brainstorming, mind mapping, and organizing pieces of information in structures is what I consider helpful for understanding even the most complicated issues.
