Information About Magdalena:

Personal Description:

I am native Polish who came to Scotland 18 months ago. I am an optimistic, friendly and passionate person. At present I attend College to improve my English and I teach French and Polish.

Teaching Experience:

After I graduated from French Language and Literature at Wroclaw University (Poland) I worked three and a half year in Polish-French Friendship Association, of which I was also a member. This job gave me experience in teaching at all learning levels and with various age groups (from teenagers to seniors). I was responsible for working out teaching programmes as well as marketing and administration of the association. I was also a co-organizer of cultural events which brought students closer to French culture.
I also worked in two language schools giving individual lessons to Polish management staff in French companies. For many years I have been giving one-to-one lessons to learners of all age groups (from children to adults), often helping them to prepare for various exams (DELF, university, etc.).
Since I came to Scotland I also have started to teach Polish in French and English answering to a great demand. As I am a native speaker it is a very interesting experience and gives me a lot of satisfaction.

Tutoring Approach:

Teaching a foreign language for so many years while being not a native speaker gives me this advantage that I understand better what problems and difficulties learners may encounter - in French as well as in Polish. Therefore, I can help them to overcome these difficulties because I dealt with similar problems before.
In tutoring it is very important to apply adequate teaching methods and materials, according to individual needs. To avoid boredom I tend to use not only the books but also to work on live language - songs, newspapers etc. For effective learning lessons should be interesting and varied and of course in friendly atmosphere :-)

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in French Language and Literature at Wroclaw University (Poland) - Teaching speciality
• Postgraduated studies in French Language and Literature at Wroclaw University (Poland)
