Iwona Frydrysiak

I have 30 years of experience as a school teacher in the subject of polish language and literature. I graduated from Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities and Adam Mickiewicz University. I'm also a qualified speech therapist. 

​​

My passion is supporting individuals on the autism spectrum in developing better communication and social skills. Right now my work focuses on teaching polish as a foreign language. The participants in my courses come from across the eastern border, and their language level varies greatly. I help both those who have not had contact with Polish before and those who would like to acquire an appropriate level of language proficiency, improve their pronunciation, correctly accent words and intonate sentences.

​

Lessons are held on the Zoom platform entirely in Polish. I know from experience that the need to communicate in the language being taught, and thus constant exposure to the language, is crucial in learning. It not only adds variety to the lesson, but also has a huge impact on the pace and results of learning, allows you to learn different ways of communicating effectively and dealing with difficult communication situations. During the lessons I am patient and understanding, I do not leave the course participants' questions unanswered. I also greatly appreciate good humor in class, we create a cheerful atmosphere of partnership with the students, in which they feel safe and no longer fear language mistakes. 

I invite people who, for various reasons, want to quickly learn Polish at a communicative level. I use "Polski krok po kroku" textbooks.
