Years of teaching experience: 2
I hold a master’s degree in journalism, yet for the past eight years, I have worked in marketing as an SEO specialist and web developer. My daily work involves language from both a grammatical and a practical perspective—creating content and managing communication. For several years, I have been teaching Polish as a foreign language, and this is the area in which I wish to further develop my skills. My proficiency in Polish is confirmed by a state certificate at the C1 level. Thanks to my own experience taking the exam, I am familiar with its structure and know how to effectively prepare for its various sections.
I have been living in Poland for 10 years, so I am intimately familiar with the realities of daily life here. Over this time, I have gained practical knowledge regarding legal status, administrative and legal matters, education, language learning, job hunting, and navigating a new environment. During our sessions, I will share concrete tips and help you navigate life in Poland more effectively.
In my free time, I like heading to the mountains or even ticking off another peak from the Crown of Polish Mountains. In the evening, I’ll probably be at the gym, play The Witcher or read a fantasy book. I might even bake some cinnamon rolls.
Student reviews
I really love my Polish lessons! The lessons are engaging, the material is presented in a clear, accessible way, and the atmosphere is really pleasant. I'd tried learning at other schools before, but their approach didn't quite suit me. Here, everything feels much more comfortable and enjoyable. I particularly appreciate the support, the recognition and the motivation to keep learning the language. Another big plus is the flexible schedule: if I can't make a lesson, it's easy to reschedule. I'm really happy with the learning, and I'm so glad I chose this school! ♥️

The lessons are really interesting — there's always something new. Even though the learning happens in Polish, Mariana always explains everything and is there to help. She has a knack for explaining complex points in an accessible way, always supports me and helps me correct my mistakes, and the atmosphere in the lessons is brilliant. Thanks to her, I believe I'll manage to reach B1. Thank you!
