PhD student in international development at the University of Oxford, I offer two types of courses:

- Coaching lessons and exams: study and memorization techniques, help in understanding the subject (based on the student's questions), blockade management

- Coaching of research papers and dissertations: proofreading of dissertations, research assistance (research questions, qualitative methodologies, literature reviews, data analysis) and writing (structure, language EN / FR, bibliographies and referencing)

I start with the questions of the student or his work, and discuss possible improvements or explain the material points that cause difficulties. On request, I sometimes give in-depth sessions on particular chapters. To do this, I use the teaching method specific to the University of Oxford (the tutorial), which is based on a discussion between the teacher and the student and reading recommendations.

My courses are aimed at students of university education, from BAC to Masters.

May 2026: In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Hello! I help adult learners speak Polish with confidence — whether you're moving to Poland, working with Polish colleagues, planning to study, or simply love the language.
I hold a C1 certificate in Polish, and I know the language not only from textbooks but from years of living, studying, and doing research in Warsaw. That means our lessons go beyond grammar — you'll learn the Polish people actually use in everyday life.
My lessons are calm, structured, and tailored to you:

We begin with your real goals — conversation, work, exams, relocation — and build around them.
I balance speaking practice with clear grammar explanations, so you make progress without feeling overwhelmed.
Every lesson includes plenty of real-life language: useful phrases, natural pronunciation, and practical situations.
I keep the atmosphere relaxed and pressure-free — mistakes are simply part of learning.

I'm a researcher and an experienced tutor, and I speak Ukrainian, English, and Russian too — so I can explain things clearly to learners from many backgrounds. This is especially helpful for Ukrainian speakers settling into life in Poland.
Let's start speaking Polish together — at your pace, toward your goals.

Hello! I'm Ali, and I'd love to be your German teacher. I'm not a native speaker myself – I learned German from scratch and later passed the DSH-2 exam (C1 level). So I know exactly how it feels to struggle with a new language, and more importantly, how to overcome those challenges.

My lessons are for everyone: complete beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced students who need German for university, work, or exam preparation (Goethe, DSH, TestDaF). With my background in political science at the University of Jena, I also specialise in academic German – writing, presentations, and discussions.

I design every lesson around your personal goals. We use real materials like short articles, videos, and everyday conversations, so you learn the German people actually speak. Grammar is never scary with me, and mistakes are always welcome – they show us where to improve. Most importantly, you'll speak a lot and feel comfortable from the very first session.

I have several years of online teaching experience, especially with refugees, which taught me to be patient, calm, and encouraging. If you're curious about politics, society, or philosophy, I'm always happy to bring those topics into our lessons – they're my passion.

Book a lesson and let's start this journey together. I can't wait to meet you!
