Educator-researcher in TESOL and classroom research.

I am an English language educator, researcher, and curriculum designer with experience teaching young learners across schools and educational institutions in Poland and Vietnam.

My work focuses on designing engaging learning experiences while investigating how classroom environments support communication, participation, and language development.

I believe effective teaching emerges from the dialogue between research and practice.

Each lesson is data — for both teacher and researcher.
