Tomasz started his lessons without high expectations, but the dedication of our teacher and a personalized plan allowed him not only to learn the language but also to pass the desired glider pilot license exam.
Due to a new job in Switzerland, Tomasz had to find a French language teacher. That’s how he met Maciej, who became his guide to the new language and aimed to help Tomasz reach a communicative level of proficiency.
From the beginning, the main goal was to instill enthusiasm for learning in Tomasz. Naturally, the way to achieve this was not through grammar exercises or readings, but by linking learning to real problems Tomasz wanted to solve. Consequently, the three pillars of the program Maciej built for Tomasz were based on:
Tomasz not only mastered the French language to a level that allows him to work freely as a director. More importantly, he now has the freedom to develop his interests related to aviation among his friends in Switzerland, communicating fluently with them in their native language and continually developing himself by reading and listening to content in French.
“Unexpectedly for me, I got a job in the French-speaking region of Switzerland, which led me to start working with Maciej. His flexible approach to teaching someone with a very basic knowledge of French allowed me to communicate efficiently in a short time. He conducts the lessons in a way that does not cause a lot of stress and is varied enough to prevent boredom. Additionally, he possesses extensive knowledge not only about the language itself but also about France as a country and life in it, and he eagerly shares this knowledge.
During the lessons, we covered not only typical material about everyday life but also textbooks related to my hobby, aviation. These included textbooks on radiocommunication and operational procedures for VFR flights according to ICAO regulations.
I recommend working with Maciej because of his proper approach to the subject.”
