Hello! My name is Krzysztof Płocha, and I am 48 years old and from Poland. My hometown is Szczecin. I have been a teacher of English since 2002, working with students of all levels except those younger than seven years old. I have also been a private tutor for numerous students and have prepared them for various language competitions. In addition, I have created a blog about interests with over a thousand posts, produced around thirty 5-minute dramas, and compiled dozens of language sets widely used with learning platforms such as eTeacher, Supermemo, Kahoot!, and Quizlet. To make learning more efficient, I have also created some Youtube videos about the 'matura’ exam.
My work experience includes preparing students for examinations such as the 'matura,’ 'egzamin gimnazjalny,’ and 'egzamin ósmoklasisty,’ as well as international certificates such as B2 First – First Certificate in English, C1 Advanced – Certificate in Advanced English, and IELTS – International English Language Testing System.
I have participated in numerous training courses and educational events, both in Polish and English. Many of these were organized by publishing companies that offer ESL materials, and others were organized by educational institutions.
From 2013 to 2015, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Oxford University Press on the development of new textbooks for teenagers.
