About me

Where I live


My name is Magdalena Wasilewska and I come from Poland - north of Poland to be precise, for those who don't know what the difference is, let me just explain you that it is the most beautiful part of Poland, often called the Masurian Lakeland as there are over a thousand of lakes there. Proof - just have a look:


Poland is a beautiful place, whole Poland:) and I do encourage you to come if you want to explore it: mountains in the south, The Baltic Sea in the north and the Lake District!

What I do

Professionally, I'm a DOS in a private school of English, a teacher and a manager. It takes me a lot of time but I love what I do. I specialise in teaching exam groups (Cambridge exams) and teenage groups, but in reality I teach all ages from 7 to 77 and all levels. I'm also Cambridge oral examiner and regular conference speaker both in my country and abroad. Since I love sharing my knowledge and experience with other teachers, I decided to do it professionally and have graduated Teacher Training Academy organized by DOS-ELTea - great people and experience - Marta, Greg thanks again! For the past few years I have been a member of Visual Arts Circle and have been attending the annual Image Conference, which gathers people whose passion is the creative use of images, films, videos, games and art in the class. It's a fantastic experience to deepen your knowledge and make new friends.

In my free time, I love travelling, I'm a licenced tour guide and I organize regular summer language trips and camps for my students and family. And now I have a blog....

What I love

Privately, I'm the mother of two: Claudia - 23 and Borys - 14 and as every mother I love them and spending every single minute or second with them. Most people who know me, however, will tell you that I'm the passionate teacher and that is also what I love. My policy in life - "happy mother means happy children". As a graduate of American Studies Center - I love American history, politics and above all its culture. I know how sceptical sometimes people are about America but I love it all. I love NEW YORK, it's the only city in the world that I could live in. And finally, I love eating in the restaurants - food is the best pleasure in life.

  1. Hello Magdalena. Your part of Poland is really beautiful. I have just attended your session at The Image Conference, in Lisbon and enjoyed it immensely. Could you share your presentation with us. You packed it with so much information it was hard to follow it all. Thank you so much.
