Meet our teachers

Malwina Zabawska

Master of Polish Philology,
Polish language teacher,
founder of the school

When I was little, I used to say that I would become a polyglot. So far, I’ve become an expert in breaking my own and my students’ language barriers.

Apart from polish, I also speak German and English. I learned both languages abroad, in countries where people use them every day. The experience from those years allows me to better understand the individual stages of my students’ learning. I observe how they deal with what I went through myself, learning German in Switzerland and English in England.

Teaching languages and being able to accompany students in learning Polish are my greatest passions and joys.

Zbigniew Zabawski

Master of English Philology,
completed the CELTA teaching
course at Oxford

English has been present in my life for as long as I can remember. That’s why no one was surprised when, after completing my degree in English Philology, I moved to England, where I further developed my teaching qualifications, working in Oxford with people from all over the world at EMBS Community College.

In my free time, I cook, play strategy games, and read books about psychology.

Ian Hatcher

Completed the CELTA teaching course
I grew up in a town on the outskirts of London, and for most of my life, my dream has been to live abroad and to experience life in another country. I spent the first half of my career working as a lawyer in London, and for much of this time I was a government prosecutor. 
 
In October 2023 I moved to Poznań. I’m really enjoying life here, especially the lack of rain! 
 
Helping students on their English journey is hugely rewarding. I’m currently learning Polish, which means that I understand the challenges faced by my students.
 
In my free time, I enjoy walking my whippet, cycling through the outskirts of Poznań and trying to make the perfect espresso.
