Information About Kamil:

Personal Description:

When I commenced my studies in the Teacher Training College in Toruń I decided to devote myself to it. I knew that there are thousands of people studying English and, in order to achieve more than the average, I have to do my best. Fortunately, I realized that studying English is not only interesting but also pleasing, and I have made a distinct progress. In the summer of 2006 and 2007 I worked near Birmingham and this was the time when my eagerness for continuing the studies in the UK was established. Afterwards, under the agreement with the Nicholas Copernicus University I became an extramural student of the aforementioned institution (one-year BA seminar in linguistics). Both in the Teacher Training College and at the University I always achieved very good grades. Therefore, I gained a place at Aston University of Birmingham (Ma in Translation Studies), which was a realization of my ambition.

Teaching Experience:

I had a one-year teaching practice (120 hours). I was teaching two different groups of High School students. The members of the first one were in the first year, whereas the members of the second were in their final year (preparing to pass the polish equivalent of A-levels). Their English language proficiency level was suppoused to be B2 and C1 respectively. Fortunately, these were mixed ability classes so I got the experience of dealing with the problems related to mixed-ability. Furthermore, I had to write a diploma project, in which I used the British media as a study aid and an incentive to self study. As a result, I learned how to collect and incorporate the authentic materials into the lessons of English.

Tutoring Approach:

I consider teaching to be a very complex process which is rewarding. I feel responsible for the success of my learners and gain a lot of satisfaction by watching their progress. A good teacher has to be a comic (to amuse the learners) and a policeman (to keep the discipline), a fortune-teller (to predict what they want and anticipate problems before they arise) and a good observer of what is happening in the classrom. I aim to be a good teacher.

Qualifications:

• Teacher Training College Graduation Dimploma (grade: very good)
• BA in ELT (grade: very good)
• One year of teaching practice
