Kasia Jakielaszek - CELTA
Hello, my name’s Kasia. I’ve worked as a tutor on IH Wrocław CELTA courses since 2014. I started teaching English in the early 1990s and I’ve worked in Poland, mostly, but also in the UK, China, Georgia and most recently in Spain and Portugal. I also worked as Director of Studies at IH Bielsko-Biala, but after five years in management, I now divide my time between teaching and teacher training, as well as examining for Cambridge Assessment English.
Richard Mason - CELTA, IH CYLT
Hi there! Having gained my initial teaching qualification from Sheffield Hallam University in 2005, I have worked for International House in Poland pretty much ever since then. The main reason I started with IH was the reputation they have for providing teacher training and maintaining standards for both teachers and students. Since moving to IH Wroclaw in 2012, I completed my DELTA and can’t recommend the course strongly enough, and since then I have become the Director of Studies here, a Cambridge speaking examiner, an IHCYLT tutor, and a CELTA tutor. The things I try to incorporate most in training sessions, and indeed in lessons, are that they are practical, beneficial, and fun.
