Polish

I am a graduate of the University of Gdańsk, Faculty of Polish Philology and postgraduate pedagogical studies at the Naval Academy in Gdynia. Both at work and in life, I am fascinated with challenges, movement, unlimited possibilities and a fresh perspective.

In my pupils I want to arouse love for the Polish language, provoke them to be inquisitive and searching, and release sensitivity, empathy and enthusiasm in the face of the beauty of the world. In echoing the Czech educator Jan Amos Komensky, I have faith in his words: "Science must start with sensual insights, not descriptions of things with words."

In my opinion, an open teaching model is the key to success in education. At the same level of importance as excellent, substantive preparation I put good contact with students, conversation on a variety of topics, the sharing of passions, listening skills, an emphasis on group activities, and taking care of the good spirit of the class team. I try to avoid boredom in my lessons, leading spontaneously and with a guiding idea. It is obvious that the success of my pupils is very motivating for me, but the biggest reward is the flash in the pupils’ eyes and their involvement in the class.

What does it mean to be a good teacher? For me, there can be only one answer: A good teacher is a creative and searching teacher, one who is active, open to anything new, and a partner in the teacher-student dialogue.

In my free time I relax by swimming and running, experimenting in the kitchen, picnicking with my family, and in the evenings enjoying a good book accompanied by the glow of aromatic candles. I love the purity and simplicity of the white Scandinavian interiors and watching the sailing daughters.
I consider myself a happy and fulfilled person; I live on the beloved sea, I have a fantastic family and a job that is my passion and a fascinating adventure.
