For as long as I can remember, I have been involved in working with children. The path to working in education began with me being a scout leader and au-pair. I grew up in Poland and came to England as a student of Poznan College of Modern Languages. I believe learning languages opens up so many opportunities, including the ability to communicate with others and have a deeper understanding of one’s identity and culture. I eventually decided to settle in England where I gained my BS degree. Throughout my working life, I have had opportunities to work with children and adults of all ages and abilities and I hope to put my knowledge and skills to good use in my local area. I enjoy tutoring students and helping them build confidence in their ability to achieve, both academically and socially. In my free time, I take pleasure in frequent escapes into nature and books, gardening, travelling and the company of my family and friends.
