I was born in Gdansk, Poland in 1971. I emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1975 where I began my primary school education. Shortly after I moved to the beautifully situated and picturesque Pocono Mountain region of Pennsylvania in 1980 where I lived in the cities of Scranton and Hazelton. This region, not only renowned for it's majestic scenery and landscapes, is also home to a vibrant and sizeable Polish community. After moving back to Toronto I graduated from high school and contemplated entering the medical profession. Soon after, I began my medical studies at the Medical Academy in Krakow, Poland. Sadly, this experience only lasted two years. Finally, I embarked on my English studies at the University of Gdansk, where in 1997, I obtained my MA degree in English Philology. I have been teaching professionally in both Poland and Canada since then. In the early 2000's I was a teacher in the LINC program in Toronto, which provides free language instructions to newcomers to Canada. For 15 years my parents lived in the Canadian prairies in Brandon, Manitoba. The prairies became my new home. I cherish my experience of living and later visiting this region every year for the holidays. It's God's country as it is called by the prairie people, and, indeed, it is a special place. Since 2003 I have happily been teaching continuously here in Gdansk in various instituation of learning. I have a loving family. My wife Ola of 13 years and I are proud parents of three childern.
From the perspective of being an educator and a Polish-Canadian native speaker who is fully bilingual with 25 years ESL teaching experience, I am able to teach any level and age group. As an accomplished educator, I have always sought to demonstrate the ability to teach, motivate, and direct students while maintaining high interest and achievement. I am an articulate communicator able to effectively interact with diverse populations of students at a variety of academic levels, consistently seeking to maintain excellent relations with students, faculty, and administrators.
