Lessons with Livia are always fun, and always give a sense of progressing and moving onto new areas of language. Homework set - when I remember! - helps consolidate learning, making the most of the lesson time itself.

Livia puts a lot of thought & preparation into lessons; there is a really clear structure & relevance, with a good balance between written / grammatical and conversational. Mix of lessons in person and Skype has been good, and they are always fun!
About me - English
Czesc,
I am a creative person with an artistic nature and passion for teaching. The love for traveling and languages has led me through many paths, living in few different countries opened my eyes on the diversity of the world and cultures. I have always loved working with people.
My family and I live in Indonesia, after many years of working in hospitality we have finally opened our own business.
I have Few years of experience in tutoring via Skype. I am a Montessori certified preschool teacher, I love working with children. In my free time I freelance writing, started doing translations.
I am native Polish and after many years of living in New Zealand and Scotland I am TEFL qualified with fluent English skills and have passed the IELTS test . Also I speak French (I have a bachelor in French language teaching)
I know that learning a language through Skype can be challenging and can seem limiting. However I believe it can be utilized as a tool, a window of opportunity to meet someone from the other side of the world, to see into their life, culture, and to experience something truly unique.

Teaching Approach
My students are mostly Scottish or English, with relatives or partners who are Polish. They are looking to move to live or work in Poland.
They are either beginners, Or a bit more advanced, looking for business/ conversational lessons.
My teaching approach really depends on student needs and goals. My lessons are tailored to everybody's preferences.
I focus on conversation as it's the key to archive fluency in any language and grammar which seems to be the hardest part of Polish language.
I have a book that I use to explain grammar but other than that I focus on a connection and contact with a student.
I have experience in working with children, mostly teaching English and am open to working with younger students also.
