About me

I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Warsaw, within the Faculty of Applied Linguistics, where I specialised in audiovisual translation and working with specialist language, particularly medical English. I also completed a Bachelor’s degree in English language teaching methodology.

My approach to language has been shaped not only by formal education, but also by my experience with film. I took part in a year-long screenwriting course, as well as editing workshops at the Warsaw Film School. These experiences showed me how storytelling can be used as a powerful tool in teaching language.

I continue to develop my practice through training with organisations such as Cambridge University Press and International House London. That said, most of what I learn comes from working with people – from real conversations that naturally go beyond any lesson plan.

Outside of work, I tend to reach for literature, spend time learning Italian, and rarely go a day without a good coffee. I’m particularly drawn to British cinema rooted in realism – simple, attentive, and focused on people.

Early career

I have been working as a teacher and translator since 2002, supporting public institutions, companies, and cultural organisations.
A broad range of experience

I have taught in a variety of settings – from banks and insurance companies to military units and Polskie Radio. I also worked as a translator for the film distributor SPInka International.
Garden of English

Since 2007, I have been running my own language courses under the name Garden of English. I work mainly with adults and teenagers – preparing students for exams (including school-leaving exams and Cambridge Assessment English exams), supporting those planning to study abroad, and working with professionals in the medical field.
