What other teachers are saying about my training courses:

"I highly recommend Sylwia's training courses. I have participated in two so far. I liked both trainings very much, so I signed up for the next one without hesitation. As a teacher with 9 years of experience, I can confidently say that Sylwia's trainings have really contributed to my professional development. It's really worth it - money well invested."

"I love Sylwia's training because it's packed with advice that can be used immediately. I can always find something for myself there, even though I have been teaching for 20 years. Each training is packed with universal, very practical tips on how to teach. And, last but not least, her teaching ideas usually require minimal or no preparation on the part of the teacher, but great engagement on the part of the student."

"Whatever the topic, you can always expect professionalism, lots of ideas and a very kind and friendly trainer during Sylwia's training. That's why I recommend it wholeheartedly."
