The concept of school work

The American Elementary School with English as a Language of Instruction offers the best tradition of American and international educational institutions. We ensure a safe and friendly school environment, with a focus on developing the habit of seeking solutions and information, discovering the truth and the real world, reflecting on the process of gaining knowledge.

Język niemiecki

Absolwentka Germanistyki Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego. Nauczyciel z wieloletnią praktyką, oraz licznymi sukcesami w przygotowywaniu uczniów do olimpiad językowych.

Urodziłam się w Gdyni, lecz dzieciństwo, oraz wczesną młodość spędziłam w Republice Federalnej Niemiec, gdzie rozpoczęłam swoją wspaniałą przygodę z językiem niemieckim, oraz kulturami krajów niemieckojęzycznych, która trwa do dziś.

Zainteresowanie moimi zajęciami sprawia mi wielką radość, oraz daje mi poczucie dobrze wykonanej pracy.

Edukacja wczesnoszkolna w języku angielskim

Jestem absolwentką Pedagogiki Wczesnoszkolnej z językiem angielskim oraz Logopedii na Uniwersytecie Gdańskim. Doskonaliłam swoje umiejętności i warsztat nauczycielski pracując przez ostatnie 8 lat w szkole międzynarodowej.

Pracując jako nauczyciel, najważniejszym jest dla mnie zbudowanie bezpiecznej, ciepłej relacji z uczniami, która stanowi fundament do stworzenia środowiska sprzyjającego wszechstronnemu rozwojowi dziecka. Staram się inspirować uczniów do nauki tak, aby stawali się coraz bardziej samodzielnymi, świadomymi i kreatywnymi osobami. Wierzę, że klasa szkolna może stanowić miejsce kształtujące postawę otwartości, empatii i wzajemnej życzliwości. Każde dziecko posiada potencjał, który warto odkrywać i pomóc mu go rozwijać.

Prywatnie lubię spędzać czas wolny w towarzystwie mojej kotki Goździka, czytając literaturę piękną bądź zwiedzając instytucje kulturalne.

Wychowanie fizyczne

Miłość do sportu zaszczepił we mnie mój pierwszy nauczyciel wychowania fizycznego. To za Jego namową zaczęłam uczęszczać na zajęcia tenisa stołowego prowadzone w szkole po lekcjach. Przygoda z tym sportem towarzyszyła mi w życiu przez kolejne osiem lat.

Jako nauczyciel wychowania fizycznego chciałabym, aby dzieci i młodzież poznały zalety bycia aktywnym oraz aby były świadome, jak ważną rolę aktywność fizyczna odgrywa w kształtowaniu naszego zdrowia. Jak mawiał królewski medyk z XVI w.: ,,Ruch jest w stanie zastąpić prawie każdy lek, ale wszystkie leki razem wzięte nie zastąpią ruchu”.

Nie wyobrażam sobie spędzania czasu wolnego bez aktywności fizycznej. Jazda na rowerze, bieganie, górskie wędrówki to zdecydowanie coś, co lubię. Ponadto w kręgu moich zainteresowań mieszczą się jeszcze: florystyka, czytanie książek oraz zagadnienia z zakresu kwalifikowanej pierwszej pomocy.

Język angielski

Człowiek orkiestra. Lider, twórca i szkoły językowej Say&Play Sopot School of English, od 12 lat współorganizatorka półkolonii językowych Sopot English Summer Camps.

Na swojej drodze w mniejszym bądź większym stopniu poznała angielski, rosyjski i francuski. Aktualnie uczy się szwedzkiego.

Śpiewa, tańczy, gra na fortepianie i gitarze, kocha przeróżne crafty: szydełkuje, szyje na maszynie i ogólnie uwielbia tworzyć coś z niczego. Jej pasją są escape roomy, które projektuje i realizuje sama. Od 2019 dzieli się swoją wiedzą podczas przeróżnych szkoleń, była prelegentką między innymi Kapeluszy Lektora PASE oraz szkoleń IATEFL.

Prywatnie mama trójki dzieci w wieku szkolnym, które od lat dzielnie testują jej nauczycielskie pomysły.

Our graduates about our school

  • My name is Zuzanna Gudyka, and I am a student at the University of Gdansk. I have just started working toward my master's degree, majoring in applied linguistics, in both English and German. I have been working as an English Language Trainer at the language school Talkersi for two years. There I am also responsible for hosting regular events called Social English Night, which revolve around the English language and communication. The American School in Gdynia was the beginning of my journey with languages: very quickly I found that one of my greatest talents is language acquisition. The school helped me learn the essential base of the English language, as well as gain enormous interest in it. In fact, English classes with Ms. Basia begot something more than just interest - it was pure passion for the English language, most of all phonetics. Learning other subjects in English broadened my knowledge of specialized vocabulary, thanks to which I had no problem graudating from one of the...

  • My name is Natalia Brzozowska, and I am currently studying Genetics at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. I love pursuing my degree, and I honestly feel like I wouldn’t have been here if I had not attended the American School in Gdynia. At the school I became fluent in English in no time. Thanks to the international community, I made friends with students from all over the world and developed tolerance and interest in getting to know different cultures at a very young age. What I remember most clearly is the warm and friendly atmosphere, and the amazing teachers who approached every student individually and made sure no one fell behind. Graduating from the American School in Gdynia built my character, enabled me to get accepted into some of the best schools in the country, and opened the doors to the world for me.

  • It has been 25 years since my earliest school-related memories. I remember sitting on a colorful carpet in a small circle of pupils surrounding a teacher who spoke English only. I was then a seven-year-old girl in 1st grade trying to repeat and pronounce separate English words dictated by the instructor. I especially struggled with the article the! The American Elementary School granted me many fantastic educational experiences and has certainly shaped my academic and professional life. Its international, liberal, and creative character gave me wings to reach as high as Harvard University and then to pursue the individual path of a creative writer. This school undoubtedly inspires free thinking! Martyna Sarnowska

  • Hi! My name is Karolina Zaborowska, and I am a student at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C, where I am double majoring in Finance and Marketing. The American School in Gdynia was the beginning of my journey with the States and gave me the motivation and the incredibly important language base, to pursue my dream of studying abroad. Whenever I meet new people at school, they find it hard to believe I'm Polish because of my American accent - and I know that is all thanks to the unique emphasis on English, that focused on both grammar and spoken English, at the American School in Gdynia.
