Kinga Skorupska
Magda is an excellent creative writer with vivid imagination and a language expert whose editing skills, and a sense of style are unparalleled both in Polish and in English.

She has also given feedback to other trainers, drawing from her extensive experience, both as a teacher, and a language professional. Overall, she is a dependable co-worker who exhibits great attention to detail and is ready to take on new challenges. She has never missed a deadline and her additional contributions to "The Varsovian" project were invaluable. She has provided social media updates and brainstormed fresh business ideas, while always keeping them realistic and practical. Her positive attitude, enthusiasm for the project and readiness to always delve in deeper make working with her a precious experience!
