Magdalena Neumann.

My name is Magdalena Neumann. I graduated from Polish Philology at the the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and also completed postgraduate studies in Early Childhood Education and Preschool Education at the Univeristy of Silesia. I’m a holder of a Certificate of Proficiency in English. I completed the following Montessori courses: Montessori Preschool Teacher Diploma Couse and Montessori Lower Elementary Teacher Diploma Cours at the Polish Montessori Institute and Montessori Infant/Toddler Course at the North American Montessori Center. Teacher Effectiveness Training, organised by the Polish Gordon Training Center, was a valuable addition to my Montessori training.

I first stated to work as a Montessori teacher in 2011, at the English Montessori Preschool in Wspólna Street, Katowice, and when my oldest preschoolers were getting ready for school – they took me with them. This way, in September 2014, we found ourselves in a school building in Gallusa Street. My first students are already serious secondary school students. Meanwhile, I can be found at English Montessori School in a preschool classroom, a lower elementary classroom, or teaching Polish as a foreign language.
