Nataliia Petraniuk

Hello! My name is Natalia. I was born in Krakow into a family of Ukrainian artists. I am a graduate of East Slavic philology at the Jagiellonian University. I like cooking and writing poetry. I have been teaching for 5 years. In addition to Polish, I speak English, Ukrainian and Russian. I am calm, cheerful and direct. Over the course of two years, I taught Polish for free to about 200 refugees. I gained many friends and invaluable experience because I had to combine the role of a teacher and a psychologist. Most of the students were under enormous stress and needed to learn Polish as quickly as possible and find their way in a new environment. That's why I created my own program that allows you to quickly learn the language and communicate. My lessons involve a lot of language practice, but also grammar. I believe that grammar is an essential part of the lesson, even though it scares students the most. That is why, in addition to using classic textbooks such as "Krok po Kroku" and "Hurra po Polsku", I use my own teaching materials and games that have already proven their worth. Among other things, I use fragments of films, articles and songs during the lesson. I always adapt to the needs and interests of the student. Age of students: from 16 to 99 :)
