Polish lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering polish lessons
You teach Polish, including pronunciation of consonant clusters, the noun cases and everyday conversation. Your listing should show how you teach the cases and the learners you help most.
What customers ask
- I cannot say the consonant clusters without tripping. Can you help?
- How many noun cases will I need to learn, and in what order?
- I am moving to Poland for work. Can you focus on what I need at work?
- Do you teach conversation as well as grammar?
- Do you teach children, and how do you keep them engaged?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask what the student wants Polish for and where they are right now.
- Offer a short speaking check, and explain how it will shape the cases and sounds you cover first.
- Show a sample lesson built on a real situation, such as a shop visit or a call to an office.
- Share a short example of a cluster drill so the student hears how you teach the sounds.
- Put the lesson count, case order, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Say what you do not teach well, such as a regional dialect, so expectations stay clear.
What to put on your profile
- Your Polish training, such as a degree, a teaching certificate or time spent living in Poland.
- Whether you are a native Polish speaker or a trained second language teacher, and the skills you teach.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as adults for work, families or students in school.
- Reviews that name the goal and what the student achieved, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a list of the case endings and phrases covered in each lesson so the student can practice them.
- Recommend a conversation group or a reading course when the student's goal fits, and let them choose.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Polish privately. Keep your degree, certificate or references ready, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
