Agnieszka Zatoń
After earning my master's degree in Applied Linguistics from the University of Warsaw, I entered the world of education to explore my passion for foreign languages and teaching. I started this adventure as a kindergarten teacher and a freelance translator, but I very soon realised that this was not a perfect fit for me. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait long to find my dream job, which was, and after 6 years still is, teaching English in CLV LO in Warsaw. In this relatively new bilingual secondary school, I have a unique chance to teach wonderful and open-minded young people, and I genuinely believe that this is my true calling. What I absolutely love about my job is that I can take part in various trainings, projects, exchanges and amazing initiatives like our EngLife project :) I'm an active person who likes travelling, learning new things, meeting inspiring people, and therefore I'm really looking forward to our cooperation!
