ENGLISH TEACHING BY SYLWIA PIEKARCZYK: października 2010

About me

Hello ;-)

My name is Sylwia Piekarczyk and I've been actively teaching English for 11 years now. I started my teaching in a private language course where I gained my first precious experiences. I had an opportunity to work with students of various ages from toddlers to adults. I enjoed working with all of them.

In 2006 I started my work at Gimnazjum im. O.L.Wrodarczyka in Radzionków, Poland which is a public school. Here I teach English to students aged 13-16. I'm actively involved in international cooperation with schools - Comenius project and I've introduced innovation to our school - SCIENCE IN ENGLISH. More about it on www.spiekarczyk.blogspot.com
