Experience
I am a passionate linguist, traveler and language teacher. I am a native Polish speaker, graduated with major in Hungarian, living my daily life through English. Languages have been in my life for a long while now! Feel welcome to see my blog www.ecolinguist.com, where in a short video I explain more about my teaching approach. In my language sessions via Skype (I may consider other instant messaging systems too) I provide a live interaction with a student. I'm not talking here about speaking to a robot or filling up exercises online. Language learning is all about interaction with living people, using the language in real situations. Modern technologies make it easier for us. I provide all the materials in electronic form: pdfs, audio files, etc. Meeting online allows you to safe time and money on traveling and allow me to keep my rates more affordable. I offer a variety of curses, however, you don't have to commit to the whole course to learn. You can pay me after each individual session. You can book a session when you need it, combining it with other language learning activities. Have a look at some of my courses/individual sessions: Polish for Beginners - Introduction to Polish – let's start with Polish; Polish Conversation Class – practice your communication skills; Polish Culture Class – get to know Polish history, culture and literature; Polish for Children and Teenagers - This class may be of interest to Polish expats bringing up their children faraway from their homeland. This course purpose is to give your child an opportunity to learn or maintain their mother tongue as well as learn more about Polish culture and history. I work with both children and teenagers adjusting my methods according to their age, interests and language level. Courses for Hungarian language learners: Hungarian for Beginners (taught in English); Hungarian for Beginners (taught in Polish); Hungarian Culture and Literature Classes; I also run ESL classes - English as a Second Language for Polish and Hungarian Speakers. As an experience language learner and teacher I share my expertise during foreign language learning consultation sessions. Feel free to inquire for more details on that. Please, keep in mind that I can always design a special course just for you depending on your individual needs and interests. Just contact me so we can talk it further. My current rates: $15 per 1 hour of an online session (45/60/90-minute online sessions available) Let's get in touch! Norbert
