Hi! My name is Michalina (Mia), I'm Polish, and I've been living in Grenoble since 2021. I became a Polish as a Foreign Language (FLE) teacher in 2012 after studying at Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Since then, I've taught at various universities abroad in Poland, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and France. I've also created and led online Polish courses for individual students and students of French as a Foreign Language (FLE). I'm passionate about languages: I speak fluent French, good English, and a little Russian, Romanian, and Portuguese. As for Polish, I love its expressive sound and I'm even happier speaking Polish with foreigners.

I am a native speaker of Polish. I attended a Polish primary and secondary school and recently obtained a C2 exam.

During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and understand those complex noun cases and verbs. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary.

I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Polish, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels and with a variety of needs, mainly individually.

I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face).

During my lessons I use :
- Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you,
- Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep,
- sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc.
- books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc.
- pronunciation/spelling/grammar games,
- authentic materials were taken from websites.

I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding.

What can I teach?
- I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation),
- I can prepare you for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2,
- I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE).

I have been a teacher for over 30 years, and I gained experience in teaching Polish as a foreign language at the People's University (Volksuniversiteit) in The Hague (Netherlands). Since 2015 I have been teaching Polish to adults from different backgrounds at this university.
I am a teacher with language teaching preparation, which means that I am prepared to conduct Polish lessons as a foreign or second language

Moreover, children from Polish-Dutch families were or currently are participants in my private and group lessons at a Saturday school in the Netherlands.

Given my disciplined, reliable and professional attitude, I am happy to take up any challenge in teaching Polish as a foreign language.

I use simple yet effective teaching methods such as a focus on direct contact with the language, natural acquisition of vocabulary and grammar or frequent repetition of language material.

During my lessons I mainly use the tools and materials from various publishers.

Being a teacher gives me great satisfaction, especially when I see students ambitiously continue their language learning and try to use and expand their knowledge at every interaction with the Polish society.

My name is Marta and I have been teaching Polish to French speakers for ten years, first in Warsaw, then in Paris and Toulouse.

I use several supports during the lessons: contemporary textbooks, authentic video materials (advertising, cartoons, Polish series and films), songs, interactive games, modern adapted texts, worrying above all about making the sessions a pleasant moment!

Each course is well structured and designed to allow you to develop all the skills gradually, according to your desires and needs. I focus in particular on communication in everyday situations and understanding everyday language. No improvisation, the exercises are always designed so that you can develop increasingly sophisticated oral expression.

The important point: I graduated in Polish linguistics from the University of Warsaw, the State Diploma, giving access to the supervised profession in Poland, is not a trivial training :) I will never tell you "c 'It's like that!', I explain everything clearly. In the case of adults, it is important to understand how the language works in order to progress. I also have the training to prepare for exams certifying mastery of Polish.

In a friendly atmosphere, I will encourage you to speak, improve your pronunciation, and I can also teach you to write very well. If these are the skills you want to master first and foremost, I am the right teacher for you.
I can communicate in English at an intermediate level, so I prefer learning from English-speaking people or those who are comfortable with the lesson being conducted entirely in Polish.

Hello! I help adult learners speak Polish with confidence — whether you're moving to Poland, working with Polish colleagues, planning to study, or simply love the language.
I hold a C1 certificate in Polish, and I know the language not only from textbooks but from years of living, studying, and doing research in Warsaw. That means our lessons go beyond grammar — you'll learn the Polish people actually use in everyday life.
My lessons are calm, structured, and tailored to you:

We begin with your real goals — conversation, work, exams, relocation — and build around them.
I balance speaking practice with clear grammar explanations, so you make progress without feeling overwhelmed.
Every lesson includes plenty of real-life language: useful phrases, natural pronunciation, and practical situations.
I keep the atmosphere relaxed and pressure-free — mistakes are simply part of learning.

I'm a researcher and an experienced tutor, and I speak Ukrainian, English, and Russian too — so I can explain things clearly to learners from many backgrounds. This is especially helpful for Ukrainian speakers settling into life in Poland.
Let's start speaking Polish together — at your pace, toward your goals.

If you want to learn Polish step by step with a patient native speaker, I will be happy to help you.
