About me/ O mnie

My name is Ewelina, and I am a native speaker of Polish and a teacher of Albanian and Polish as foreign languages. I have over 10 years of experience in teaching languages, and I still truly enjoy sharing knowledge and supporting my students in achieving their language goals.

I also lived in Kosovo, where I worked daily with the Albanian and had experience in working as a Polish-Albanian translator in the Balkan region. Although I graduated a few years earlier in Balkan Philology, with Albanian as my main language, my passion for languages led me to expand my teaching expertise through postgraduate studies in teaching Polish as a foreign language at the University of Silesia in Katowice – School of Polish Language and Culture. It gave me the opportunity to learn from leading specialists in the field, including experts involved in state certification examination boards. As a result, you can be confident that whichever course you choose, you will be guided in a structured, professional, and pedagogically sound way, in line with up-to-date standards of language teaching.

I am particularly passionate about intercultural communication and different communication styles, especially the distinction between high-context and low-context cultures. This passion is deeply rooted in my daily practice, as I have several years of experience working in the international office at one of the universities in Krakow. There, I am constantly in touch with students from all over the world, which keeps me closely connected to academic language and international environments. I have completed several intercultural competence trainings, including “Preparing Students for an International Environment” (2024) in Bucharest.This background allows me to help my students not only learn the language itself, but also better understand how people think and communicate in different cultural environments — which is essential for real-life and professional interactions.
