Information About Tomasz:

Personal Description:

I am a native Polish. I studied Physics and Astronomy at University of Wroclaw, Poland - speciality: physic teacher. During my studies I worked as a journalist for student's monthly mag and I was writing IT related articles for another title. I came to Scotland over two years ago. At the start I was driving lorries, but due to the demand for polish I becomed a polish tutor in my spare time. At the moment I study languages and Central and Eastern European studies at University of Glasgow.

Teaching Experience:

In Poland I had a work placements as a physics teacher in secondary school. I was also tutoring in various range of subjects: from physics and math through the engineering mechanics to Polish and guitar playing. After I came to Scotland people around me started to ask for a Polish lessons. I agreed to try and I found it really interesting, so I decided to go for that more seriously - I did some reading, bought books and contacted other teachers for advice. I am also doing some translations from time to time - from school and law documents to some specialized texts related to transport industry.

Tutoring Approach:

I find language tutoring really fascinating - I think it's not only about language but it's about way of thinking. I am studying French, where I learn things new for me, and Czech, where I have opportunity to observe what difficulties are encountered by English speakers when learning a Slavic language, and I find both experienced useful when working with my own students. As I was working for years as a journalist, I have more practical then philological approach to language. I am using few books as a base to work with my students (from some basic courses through classic university textbooks by prof. Miodunka to modern well recognized coursebook "Hurra!") but I tend to use also every-day language by working with the newspapers, books or even some movies. My goal is to teach not only the plain language but all cultural aspects which are going with it.

Qualifications:

• physics teacher with experience in polish schools
• polish journalist
• huge private tutoring experience
