Hey there, language adventurers!
I’m Darek Krajewski, your guide through the wonderful world of English, with 7 years of experience under my belt.
Picture this: a no-nonsense, energetic, and empathetic teacher with a penchant for holistic learning and a brain that’s part political junkie, part language enthusiast. That’s me in a nutshell!
I believe that my holistic approach entices people to co-own the learning process and makes them more likely to succeed in the modern business world of rapid change. It’s not just about learning English — it’s about preparing you for the dynamic global landscape.
With a B.A. & M.A. in Political Science, I’m here to shake up your English learning experience. My background gives me a unique perspective on language and communication in the global context.
When teaching, I focus on developing communicative competencies of my students. Grammar and vocabulary? — Sure, they’re important. But I’m all about those juicy sub-skills like avoiding repetition, extending ideas, and responding appropriately while listening. You know, the stuff that really makes your English pop!
When I’m not busy unraveling the mysteries of the English language, you’ll find me with headphones glued to my ears, binging on nerdy podcasts like “5-4” or “Morning Joe”. It’s my own personal political soap opera — think “Days of Our Lives” meets C-SPAN.
Music-wise, I’m a genre-hopping nomad. From shoegaze to post-punk, from lo-fi to slowcore, my playlist is like a United Nations of sound. Literature? — Oh, I’m just casually name-dropping Yanagihara, Berliner, and Rijneveld at dinner parties. No big deal.
Expect your lessons to be sprinkled with everything from obscure indie lyrics to Supreme Court jargon, and maybe even some psychological insights! From dissecting political speeches to analyzing dialogue in cult classic movies, every class is an adventure in language, culture, and maybe a bit of pop psychology.
I bet we’re going to have a lot to talk about! Ready to embark on this linguistic and personal growth journey together? — Let’s make some English (and life) magic happen!
