About me - English
Good morning, my name is Magda. I'm from Warsaw and lived in Italy for a long time, where I attended school. I graduated with my Master's in economics from SGH School of Business in Warsaw, Poland.
For over twenty years now, I have been living in the USA, first in California, then Colorado, Indiana, Ohio, and currently in Texas.
My passion is teaching foreign languages and exploring other cultures. As such, I always tailor my teaching to the student's unique needs. I've taught students in many different languages, each with their own goals and starting points. Some of my favorite experiences include helping an entire family who was moving to Poland for a parent's job become fully conversational in 8 weeks, or working with students and families who immigrated to the US to become conversational in English. I've also worked as an interpreter for Polish, Italian, and English-speaking business ex3cutives.
I'm excited to meet new students and help them achieve their goals!
Qualifications & Experience
I graduated in Economics from the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH).
I taught at the international Berlitz school.
I taught teenagers and families who moved to Poland due to a parent's job relocation, providing tutoring sessions tailored to their needs.
In Dallas, I teach English to newly arrived students from other countries.
Teaching Approach
After identifying the individual needs of the student, I adjust my teaching style accordingly. Depending on the requirements, from the first lesson, I can use only the target language if the goal is rapid basic communication. For those who prefer traditional learning, I introduce grammar along with vocabulary.

Mi sono laureata in economia presso la Scuola di Commercio a Varsavia (SGH).
Ho fatto interpretariato per la Camera di Commercio Italo-Polacca a Varsavia.
Ho insegnato alla Berlitz, a gruppi o persone singole. Mi ricordo una famiglia, che si trasferiva in Polonia, per il lavoro del padre.
Ho seguito questo ingegnere intensivamente e, dopo 8 settimane, si trasferiva in Polonia,con la capacita' di comunicare facilmente.
Ho impartito lezioni private.
Insegno inglese a ragazzi stranieri, di varie eta', che si sono trasferiti negli USA.
Teaching Approach
Mi adatto completamente alle esigenze dello studente. Per essere in grado di poter comunicare in modo basilare, posso usare esclusivamente la lingua in oggetto, dalla prima lezione. Qualora si preferisse un medodo piu' tradizionale, coniughero' la grammatica alla lingua parlata.
Preparo le lezioni in tal modo che lo studente ottenga il massimo delle sue richieste.
