Ewelina Toruńczak-Pawłowicz
CEO&Founder, educationalist and language trainer
I gained teaching experience in private language schools and at the University of Warsaw, where I learned that an innovative and practical attitude to foreign language teaching is indispensable nowadays. This is especially true about teaching German as a second foreign language – particularly now, when a knowledge of English is not a feat anymore.

Paulina Gabrel
Educationist, translator and language trainer
My German adventure started with music – because German music is not only Beethoven or Mozart but also Rammstein or Nina Hagen. What I felt captivated by was the unconventionality of way the German language sounds. Many people perceive it as hard and guttural, but it does not have to be true. There are many dialects, each of them is different and unique – not necessarily harsh!

Patrick Lüder
Native speaker
I was born and raised in Germany. Before I came to Warsaw, I had been studying mathematics as well as tutoring mathematics, German and English. At the moment I’m learning Polish and I believe this is much harder than mastering German. In my free time I like to occupy myself with art and culture.

Joanna Hołownia
German language trainer
I graduated from Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw. I believe that children are not the only ones who want to play a game from time to time and just have fun. Therefore, I can assure my students that my classes are always thoroughly prepared and tailored to the students’ needs, not only when it comes to their language level, but also to their interests.

Marietta Zagórska
Translator and German language trainer
I believe that every language, just like every human, has a unique nature. I was first acquainted with German very early – when I was seven years old. Since the beginning I have found this language to be very interesting and appealing. German grammar, rules and exceptions as well as order present in this language reflect my character. That is the reason why we – me and the German language – fit together perfectly!

Bogdan Czyż
German language trainer
I worked and studied in Germany for more than a year and a half – in Wiesbaden and Hamburg. I have been working as an accountant in large companies with international reach for a few years – therefore the German language accompanies me in my daily work. I always try to give my classes a practical dimension. Outside of work I am interested in history, politics, architecture and motorisation.

Adam Szymański
German language trainer
I graduated from the German Teacher Training College and the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the University of Warsaw. As a pupil and a student I had many different teachers. Some of them were able to encourage their students to learn, while others made them think. There were some who could teach through fun and games. After all, in the process of learning there is room for both analytical thinking and a lot of fun!

Dominik Owczarek
German language trainer
It is my belief that you learn a language, even the one you have been using since childhood, throughout your entire life. Learning languages broadens the mind, facilitates openness to other cultures and tolerance towards others. I work as a journalist in German-speaking media. I love sport – I also practise it myself. Bundesliga and the Saturday Konferenz – this sounds like a perfect weekend!

Why? Because DEUTSCH MACHT SPAß!

Aleksandra Makarska
German language trainer
I received my bachelor’s degree at the University of Warsaw, department of Applied Linguistics. My first foreign language was English and that was why I decided to take part in the Erasmus exchange programme in Heidelberg – to deepen my knowledge of German. I fell madly in love with the city of the oldest German university. Staying there made me understand the importance of communication in the process of mastering a foreign language.

German language trainers – who to choose?
A German language trainer’s main task is to equip you with a comprehensive knowledge of German and ensure that you can apply it in practice – confidently, boldly and effectively. In addition to being a “conventional” teacher, your trainer must also be a source of motivation and support – without these even the most engaged client can just… burn out. Obviously, crises have been and will be present in the learning process they are its natural part. It is up to a qualified German language trainer to keep their number down – and that the client will come out of such a crisis with new experiences and even more motivation for further development.
It’s also worth paying attention to a German language trainer’s education and experience. The universities the teacher graduated from as well as completed professional courses may be a proof of knowledge and proficiency in the German language. Studying at a university in one of the German speaking countries, taking part in student exchange programmes as well as labour market experience in Germany, Austria or Switzerland are additional advantages. A good trainer must be natural and spontaneous while using the language he teaches. If you want to experience practical things during the learning process – choose an experienced person!
German language is not enough
Successful cooperation is usually possible only if both parties like spending time together and understand each other. This is especially important in case of personal development as a student’s mental contentment has a direct impact on subsequent effects of the learning process. That is why choosing a right German language trainer matching the customer’s character is so crucial in order to create a tightly-knit team. This way each lesson becomes a valuable experience and pleasure.
There is still a prevailing conviction that knowledge and teaching methods are the only factors that matter while choosing a teacher. We agree that a German language trainer’s proficiency and ability to transfer knowledge effectively are of great importance, but German alone is not enough – after all, we are humans, not books. We strongly encourage our clients to pay attention to their frame of mind during classes with a specific German language trainer. If you feel you are not on the same wavelength – that’s ok, it happens. In such a situation take care of your comfort and don’t hesitate to ask for a change.
