KAT ELT Language Teaching & Teacher Development
Language. Thinking. Connection.
Language is a tool for communication, thinking and connecting with people — not simply a school subject. I teach English, Italian and Polish, and I work with teachers and schools on Project-Based Learning and learner engagement.

Hi, I'm Katarzyna
I'm a language teacher, ELT professional and teacher trainer based in Kraków. I have taught languages to children, teenagers and adults in Poland and the UK, working with learners from beginner to advanced and near-native levels.
Languages have shaped both my education and my career. I studied Italian, later specialised academically in teaching Polish to international learners, and English became the main language of my professional life. Having been both a language learner and a teacher of several languages gives me an unusually broad perspective on how learning actually happens.

Personalised language teaching
Rather than following a textbook from beginning to end, I select and create materials according to the learner's goals, interests and actual language needs. Lessons are available online or face-to-face in Kraków, individually or in small groups.

Beyond the Scroll: Restoring Cognitive and Social Engagement through PBL
Project-Based Learning
It is not simply a group of students making a poster.
A well-designed project creates a genuine reason to communicate. Students have clear roles and responsibilities, work towards success criteria, receive feedback, improve drafts and are accountable for the quality of the final outcome.
