Grunwald is My Home Base
Welcome to the only English teaching service actually based in Grunwald! Unlike teachers who commute from across the city, I live and maintain my professional office right here at ul. Sierotki Marysi 19 (near the border of Stary Grunwald and Marcelin).
📍 Serving the Two Worlds of Grunwald
Grunwald has two distinct vibes, and I cater to both:
- Stary Grunwald (Abisynia): For residents of the historic villas near ul. Promienista and ul. Włodkowica, I offer refined conversational lessons focused on culture, travel, and literature.
- Marcelin, King Cross & Business Garden: For the dynamic professionals living in new apartments on ul. Marcelińska, near King Cross, or working at Business Garden, I provide high-impact Business English focused on presentations and tech communication.
Because I'm local, I understand your lifestyle. I know the morning rush on ul. Grunwaldzka, the weekend peace of Lasek Marceliński, and the shopping convenience of King Cross Marcelin. I fit my lessons into your local rhythm.

Why Grunwald Chooses a Native Speaker
Grunwald is unique. It's home to Poznań's top professionals, academics, and international families. The demands for English here are higher than anywhere else in the city.
For the Professionals at Business Garden & Marcelin
If you work at Business Garden (ul. Kolorowa) or live in the new apartments near King Cross Marcelin, you're likely dealing with international teams daily. "Textbook English" isn't enough. You need to understand:
- The nuance of polite disagreement in meetings
- Small talk that builds relationships before the deal
- American vs. British business terminology
Since I live nearby, I often do lunch-break lessons at King Cross, Business Garden, or after-work sessions at a nearby café like Bezachu.
For Parents (International School & Marcinek)
Grunwald is the educational heart of Poznań. With the International School of Poznan (ISP) on ul. Taczanowskiego and I LO "Marcinek" on ul. Bukowska, parents here demand high standards.
I work with many students from these schools to:
- Support IB (International Baccalaureate) English requirements
- Prepare for rigorous exams (SATs, Cambridge)
- Ensure their accent and confidence matches their academic knowledge
For the "Abisynia" Residents
Residents of Stary Grunwald often travel extensively. My lessons here are often less about grammar drills and more about high-level conversation—discussing politics, culture, and literature over wine at Pod Czarnym Kotem or in your garden. It's about maintaining fluency and refining sophistication in speech.

Grunwald FAQ
🚗 Is parking available at your office?
Yes! Unlike Jeżyce or Centrum, parking on ul. Sierotki Marysi is free and usually very easy to find right in front of the building. This makes coming to my office a stress-free option compared to driving into the city center.
🏢 I live near King Cross / work at Business Garden. Can you come to me?
Yes. I frequently visit the Marcelin area (ul. Marcelińska, Wałbrzyska) and Business Garden (ul. Kolorowa). We can meet at your home, office, or at a café in King Cross Marcelin (like Costa or Starbucks). It saves you travel time and fits English perfectly into your day.
🍷 Can we meet at Winiarnia Pod Czarnym Kotem?
Definitely. "Kot" is a Grunwald institution! It's a great spot for relaxed, evening conversation lessons for advanced students who want to maintain fluency in a social setting. I'm also happy to meet at Parlé in City Park if you prefer a daytime coffee setting.
🌲 How do walking lessons work in Lasek Marceliński?
We meet at my office (Sierotki Marysi 19) or the forest entrance at ul. Leśnych Skrzatów. We walk for 60 minutes while conversing in English. It removes the pressure of "classroom eye contact" and stimulates natural speech. It's fantastic for mental health and learning simultaneously.
🏫 Do you help students from the International School (ISP)?
Yes. Since ISP is nearby on ul. Taczanowskiego, I work with many students who attend there. I can help with literature analysis, essay writing, and ensuring their spoken English matches the high academic standards of the school.
