I'm Alicja. My clients usually speak English well. They come to me when a meeting or a presentation in English still takes more effort than it should, or when an exam date is getting close.
I'm a native speaker of English and Polish. I work one-to-one and with small teams, online, on whatever you're dealing with at work that week.
People understand every one of them. The corrected version is what a colleague in London or Dublin would say.
In a session we do the same with your material, like the email you're about to send.
We start with a free 20-minute call. You tell me what's coming up at work and I check your level. By the end of the call we've agreed on a goal and a date.
Sessions last 60 minutes and take place online, usually once a week. We work with whatever is on your desk, such as a pitch you're giving on Friday.
You keep the recording of every session, and as we go you build up a vocabulary list for your field. I call this the Real Work Method. Everything we practise comes from your job.
I also prepare people for Cambridge C1 and C2, IELTS and TOEFL. For an exam, the plan works back from your test date.
Every programme starts with the free call. Sessions are 60 minutes, one-to-one and online.

If your first paid session isn't useful to you, you don't pay for it.
I train teams who speak English with clients and colleagues abroad. Typical groups are sales and customer service teams, and new international hires settling into an English-speaking office.
We practise on the calls and emails your team already handles.
You work with me directly, from the first call to the last session. Before we start you get a written proposal, and afterwards an invoice.
I grew up speaking English and Polish, and I've lived and studied in Poland, Ireland, England and Spain. I also speak Spanish fluently.
I have a double bachelor's degree in Business and Linguistics from Sopot University of Applied Sciences. During my Erasmus semester at the Universidad de Málaga I did an internship in the university's International Relations Office.
The business side of my degree helps. I know what a budget meeting or a difficult client call involves, and that's what we practise.
Switching between two languages is part of my life, so I know how tiring it is to translate in your head during a meeting. A lot of my work is helping people stop doing that.
Alicja prepared me for the Cambridge C1 exam, and I ended up reaching C2 level. She focuses on exactly the things you struggle with, explains them clearly, and knows how to push you a bit further. Her English is genuinely native. I'd recommend her to anyone serious about improving.
Before our sessions I felt nervous negotiating with international clients. After working with Alicja, I felt far more confident expressing my ideas and responding naturally during conversations.
I knew English well, but my emails and presentations never sounded as professional as I wanted. Alicja helped me communicate more naturally and confidently. Colleagues even commented on how much my English had improved.
Our team became noticeably more confident communicating with international colleagues. Instead of generic English lessons, every session focused on situations we actually deal with at work.
My confidence in meetings has improved dramatically. Every session was practical, relevant and immediately applicable to my work.
The lessons were tailored to my industry and helped me communicate more naturally with international clients.
You should be able to hold a conversation in English, roughly B1 or higher. If you're not sure, I'll check your level on the free call.
One-to-one, by video call. What we practise comes from your work, and you keep the recording of every session.
Yes. Let me know a day in advance and we'll find another time.
If your first paid session isn't useful to you, you don't pay for it. And you'll have talked to me on the free call before you decide anything.
Yes. Sessions are in English, but Polish is also my native language, so I switch when that's quicker.
Yes. Companies get a written proposal after the intake call, and an invoice.
If your question isn't here, ask me on the call or by email.
Write a few lines about what's coming up at work. I reply within 24 hours and suggest some times for a 20-minute video call.
