Frequently asked questions

The pandemic popularized on-line learning, thanks to which I got the opportunity to cooperate with the Warsaw branch of James Cook Languages. I am very pleased with this, because I was looking for a place that would satisfy my need for professional development and ensure satisfaction with many years of teaching practice. At JCL, I teach French and Polish as a foreign language. What matters most to me is the fact that as a teacher I am treated seriously, in partnership, with respect for my time and work. I really appreciate the independence in building a direct relationship with the learner. On the other hand, the school provides excellent organization and organizational and methodological facilities, giving a sense of security and clarity about competences and rules. JCL offers me the opportunity to conduct really interesting and stimulating classes and participate in interesting projects. What I value most is the experience of co-conducting intensive courses in a team of teachers. This allows for intensive methodical training, developing your own working methods and sharing ideas.

The  atmosphere and conditions offered at JCL allow the teacher to fully enjoy the results of their work.

I am glad that JCL was the first school I worked with when I started my teaching adventure. The school offered me not only the support of an experienced teacher (Senior Teacher) with whom I could consult or ask for advice, but also additional training, workshops and interesting materials. What distinguishes James Cook Languages ​​on the private school market is the commitment to building relationships between teachers. The school managed to create a teaching community that supports each other by exchanging ideas, materials and methods. The team listens to our needs and tries to respond to them. This is what happened with the idea of ​​regular, informal meetings for teachers - Teachers' Corner - during which we can freely discuss the issues bothering us, share our doubts and successes. I am glad that JCL cares about teachers. After all, a satisfied teacher is a satisfied customer!

I started my adventure with James Cook Languages ​​at the end of 2018, running full-time  courses in companies. I have been an English teacher for over 20 years.

I worked with several schools but JCL captivated me and I decided to stay here for a long time.

The school has a friendly atmosphere. Everyone is very helpful, you can always count on methodological support, suggestions for materials and a great library. James Cook Languages ​​has also clear described methodology, from which each teacher, even with extensive experience, will gain something that will enrich his way of teaching.

JCL takes care of the teacher, ensuring the continuity of classes and full schedule as needed, so I do not have to worry about a fixed salary. This proved to be especially helpful during the pandemic when we switched to online classes and the school provided teachers

such courses, and the necessary support and tools for conducting classes.

What I really appreciate in working with James Cook Languages ​​is the freedom in relationships between me and the course participants. Individual selection of materials and topics for classes, determined in consultation with the students, makes the classes interesting for both students as well as for me.

JCL also offers great opportunities for professional development through participation in various workshops. For me, the observations of the classes and the feedback from the methodologist turned out to be very useful (it is great that as a teacher I also watched the classes.

and I was able to share my thoughts and learn a lot from it).

Working with JCL it is a pure satisfaction for me.
