Małgorzata Migdoł - Deputy Director Mokotów branch, Teacher

My name is Małgorzata Migdoł, but you can call me Gosia :)
I am a graduate of the University of Opole. I graduated in Pedagogy of Young Children with Preschool Education and in Elementary Education with Pedagogical Therapy. I also started my adventure with children in Opole as a Preschool Education Teacher. I am currently interning as appointed teacher at TEQUESTA, for which I have been working since 2018.
I have a large and cheerful family! My family is real big - I have four brothers :), but also a few cousins and uncles, with whom I have very close relations. I guess, that’s how I became fond of being a teacher. As early as the 6th grade of elementary school I decided that I would be a teacher and it came off!
My mission as a teacher is not just to give kids love, heart and smile, but also to teach them to do the same. In today's crazy times of rapid change, it’s quite crucial to emphasize the essence of developing relationships regardless of people’s age, appearance, origin or religion. TEQUESTA provides the best evidence that it's possible, that this thing actually works.
I am cheerful, outgoing, open minded and creative person, with a zest for life, for acquiring knowledge and learning about the beauty of the world. I love dancing, singing and laughing!

Rasmita Palai - English Native Teacher

I come from India, a country that is a mix of different cultures, traditions, flavors and spices, with a long history and complex origins.
I am a very warm person by nature. My hobbies include singing, listening to music and gardening. My passion for singing led me to learn classical Indian singing, which I admired since I was 12.
Besides, I love cooking traditional Indian cuisine dishes, and whenever such opportunity arises — taste original dishes from other parts of the world.
I graduated with a master's degree in English, as well as Electronics and Telecommunications, which made me work in the IT sector. However, deep inside I was feeling all the time that what makes me the happiest is spending my time with children. Already in my school days, I gained a 3-year experience in teaching English and in caring for children and infants. I also completed an intensive one-year childcare course to expand my pedagogical competence.

I love children and spending time with them makes me happy.
Teaching is not just a job, it’s also a passion and infinite inspiration.

Jigger Gonzaga - English Native Teacher

Working as a volunteer in my hometown in the Philippines when I was a teenager is one of those memories I will remember for the rest of my life. We circled around in our community pushing in front of us carts with blackboards, books, paper sheets and exercise books. Our goal was to help educate those who were less fortunate and could not afford a proper education. That experience has largely shaped me.
Passion for teaching children made me working as a teacher at TEQUESTA an obvious choice. At TEQUESTA, I got my certificate for teaching with the Jolly Phonics method. I was extremely happy to be able to share my knowledge with these great kids!
My name is Jigger Gonzaga. Before I came to Poland, I was a team leader at the esteemed BPO company, where I mastered my communication skills, which I now am happy to employ with some great results while working with children.
I believe I don't have to be the best, but I try hard and want to be better every day.

My name is Aneta, for years I have been working among people "from the wide world", multiculturalism, diversity, and thus human orientation are my fascination. I have always been a humanist with an artistic soul with a tendency to create. Broadly understood care and orientation to people are equally my mission and passion. I have had a special bond with children for as long as I can remember, initially during school I looked after "makuszki" as a baby sitter, then professionally. Children have always been close to me for as long as I can remember. Following my heart and the persuasion of my sisters and teacher friends, a few years ago I also decided to complete a course for caregivers for children 1-3 and thus pursue my passion and love for children professionally also in younger groups. Today I know that this is the best choice I could have made and no other profession would bring me as much joy and satisfaction as working with children. It is above all a multidimensional profession, which combines many of my fascinations. Contact with children gives me a total sense of fulfillment, interaction and meeting with little ones, their unconditional smile, and this best time of childhood, which I can accompany and participate in, and which passes so quickly, is my everyday joy in its purest form. I am interested in psychology, pedagogy, floristry, hand-made, I like letters and words, long night conversations of Poles until dawn, music, dance, art, skiing in winter, cycling in summer, traveling...
