My teaching journey began in Arkhangelsk in 2011. I was a second-year student of Slavic philology and Polish philology. I went to Arkhangelsk for a conference and had the opportunity to conduct workshops for female students who were learning Polish. I met a wonderful lecturer there called Dorota, and thought that I want to work like that too.
I run Polish language courses for employees of international companies, these are both individual, duo and group courses at levels A0, A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1. I also teach Polish at an academic level (Polish language classes, an intensive Polish language course for students starting their first year of study, Polish Preparatory School). Twice I conducted classes for repatriates organised by ORPEG. Currently, I teach Polish online only.

I go for long walks with my dog and read books.
