Aleksandra Gosztkowska
class III
I graduated from the Higher School of Linguistics, majoring in Pedagogy, specializing in Early School Education and Preschool Education. Working with children is my passion. In my free time, I like to spend time actively with my family.
Agnieszka Szubiak-Galik
Teacher
I graduated in Theology at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn.
Additionally, I have pedagogical preparation and qualifications to hold a position as a school teacher.
I started working at the Polish Saturday School in Newcastle in the 2012/2013 school year.
Currently, I lead the second group with a basic profile. During my classes, children learn to read, write, use the Polish language skillfully and get to know Polish culture and tradition. Additionally, I introduce elements of history and geography.
I am very pleased with the students' progress in acquiring knowledge and specific skills in Polish.
My hobby is gardening. I love nature and that's why I love spending my free time in my home garden. I have roses, hydrangeas, peonies, sunflowers, fruit bushes and I am very happy when they grow and bloom. I draw a lot of positive energy from my green space.
Dominika Pyk
Teacher
He has been working as a primary teacher at a Saturday school in Newcastle for two years. I completed my diploma studies at Durham College in Canada, majoring in primary education. I have many years of experience with children aged 4 to 7 and I perfectly understand how important it is to arouse the willingness and enthusiasm to learn in every child. In my group, learning is fun, we learn the language and Polish culture through fairy tales, music, art classes and creative fun.
Karolina Zielińska
Teacher
I am a Polish language and art teacher with ten years of experience. I completed master's studies at the University of Gdańsk, majoring in Polish philology and theater studies, and postgraduate studies in Oligophrenopedagogy. Throughout my teaching career, I have worked at all educational levels. I was also a tutor of Polish as a foreign language. I worked in schools for adults, teaching special education and psychology classes. I completed a course preparing students for GCSE and A level exams.
At work, I follow the principle that approach is a small thing that makes a big difference.
