Hey! My name is Przemek and I'm an English linguistics graduate with a specialty in teaching and a holder of Delta, which is the highest and the most recognized diploma in the field of teaching English as a foreign language. I've been teaching for over 7 years, not only in Poland but also around the world. Teaching English gives me great satisfaction and motivates me to keep growing professionally. I'm also the founder and teacher at UP2 Academy - a modern online language school. I help people learning English by offering:

• individual classes – personalized lessons; help with current school or university material; topics tailored to the needs, e.g. business or legal English

• conversations – classes with an emphasis on speaking: improving pronunciation, learning fluency techniques; eliminating the most common lexical and grammatical errors; gaining self-confidence

• preparation for language exams – classes focused on exams, such as: Cambridge A2-C2, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, BEC

• preparation for job interviews and self-presentations

Apart from that, my lessons are characterised by:

• Communicative approach: you learn through conversations, roleplays, discussions, without learning all the rules by heart.

• Immersion: all the classes and interaction are in English

• Practicality: the classes and the activities are set in a real-life context

• Customised approach: the way the classes are delivered is adjusted to the student’s level and interests

• All language skills development: apart from speaking, you will also practice listening, reading and writing, which are crucial elements of any language

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks!

My name is Maja and I am a CELTA certified teacher holding a Bachelor's degree in English language and literature. My teaching experience spans over 15 years and it encompasses work with both children and adults. Time flies fast when you are having fun, some might say. And teaching for me is exactly that – fun.
During my career, I have worked with all levels and ages, both in primary and private language schools and now in an online setting.
Working with the little ones must be the most challenging but also the most rewarding aspect of this job. In my virtual classroom, I strive to constantly engage and activate my students by using props, visuals and gestures. In addition, creating a child-friendly environment and catering for students’ needs are essential for learning to take place.
In my spare time, every now and then I get away from the city and spend a bit of time in the great outdoors, hiking or camping. Tai Chi is something that I have recently discovered. And I absolutely love it!
You will find that I am a hard-working, reliable and an adaptable person and I am sure we will get along well.
So, let’s learn and grow together. Come and join me in my virtual classroom where the magic happens.

Penny teaches to any level and age. If you are an adults, a University student, a teenager or for your kid, she adaptes her lessons with creative tools. She has great and structured homemade Greek courses : First she introduces you to a writing understanding by text, then to an oral one by audio or videos and finally you can practice your Greek by grammar exercises or conversations. Penny is involved and passioned in her teaching and has creative and attractive learning materials ! I recommend her !!

I graduated from pedagogy at the University of Belgrade. I've been teaching English online to people of all nationalities and all ages for over five years.
I am interested in music. I play the guitar, make funny little songs, but sometimes I try myself out in real poetry and song-making.
I like movies. Comedies are the best, but I also like good fantasy, sci-fi, and artistic movies. I love acting. I use acting when teaching English.
I am a science geek. Mainly physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and the related fields. I also love humanities and like to hone my critical thinking.
But most of all, I am easygoing. I like to talk and always find a subject to chit-chat. Video games or memes, pop-culture, and humor. Humor's good - you can't believe how much you can learn through humor.
