F.A.Q.

Welcome to the FAQ! ❓📚 Here you’ll find answers to the most frequently asked questions about my language courses, scheduling, payments, and more. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to contact me anytime! ✉️😊 I’m happy to help!

🏫 What is my experience with teaching?

I began my teaching journey as a Polish tutor at university, where I worked for two years. Later, I spent a year as a substitute primary school teacher. Although I passed the entrance exam to become a certified teacher, the assigned training center was too far from home.

During that time, I also started giving private French lessons. Since October 2024, teaching French 🇫🇷 and Polish 🇵🇱 has become my main profession, with translation work as a complementary activity.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with both beginners and advanced learners, adults and teenagers alike, helping them build confidence and achieve their language goals through personalized, online lessons.

🌍 What languages do I speak?

I speak English 🇬🇧, French 🇫🇷, and Polish 🇵🇱.

💳 How does the payment process work for the lessons?

You can pay for your lessons via bank transfer or PayPal.All the payment instructions and details are clearly outlined in the contract you’ll receive before the first lesson. This ensures a smooth and secure booking process.

💻 On which platform will the lessons take place?

The lessons will be held on Google Meet. You will receive a confirmation email with the lesson link and scheduled time one day before each session to ensure you’re ready to join easily and on time.

🎯 What can you expect during my lessons?

😊 I always start my lessons by checking in and catching up with you. Then, we review the vocabulary from the previous session to reinforce your knowledge before moving on to the new lesson.

📚 This can include revision, consolidation, or the introduction of a new topic. When introducing new material, we begin with an engaging text or visual aid, followed by reading and explaining the theory clearly.

🎯 Then comes my favorite part: practice! I focus on three key areas to help you progress:

  • ✍️ Written exercises
  • 🕹️ Interactive online games
  • 🗣️ Oral practice to build your speaking confidence

✅ I consider a topic mastered when you feel confident enough to use it naturally in conversation. I always take the time necessary to help you reach this level.

📖 For those who want to go further, I offer optional homework, as well as curated videos and podcasts to watch and listen to, so you can keep practicing the language anytime, anywhere.

🎓 What language levels do my lessons cater to?

My lessons are designed for both beginner and advanced learners. I always tailor the content and pace to fit each student’s individual needs.

📝 For those with prior language experience, I offer a placement test to accurately assess their level and avoid repeating topics they’ve already mastered, ensuring efficient and personalized learning.🚀 Whether you want to start from scratch or improve your fluency, I’m here to help you reach your language goals!

👶 Do I also teach children?

Yes! Thanks to my professional and personal experience, I am comfortable teaching children. If you want your child to learn French 🇫🇷 or Polish 🇵🇱, feel free to contact me and tell me more about them.🧒 My lessons are designed for children aged 6 or 7 and above, as they are conducted online and last no longer than 30 minutes per session to keep the learning fun and engaging.
