Izolda Bombicz - Niemirska - Managing Director

I am a graduate of Jan Kochanowski University, Faculty of Psychology and Pedagogy. I also graduated in Management in Education at the Stefan Wyszyński University, Preschool and Early School Pedagogy at the University of Lodz and Foreign Trade at the Warsaw School of Economics.
I started my adventure with early life education many years ago in the Republic of Ireland, where for almost a decade I gained my experience first as a group teacher and later on as a director of educational establishment. I have been involved with TEQUESTA for 10 years. I love working with children and with people. I love watching our pupils grow up and acquire new skills, how they learn life, new languages and how they socialize.
I am characterized by the joy of life :) I have very versatile interests and passions :)

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.

Chaimaa Barri - English Native Teacher

My name is Chaimaa Barri, but you can call me “Ms Chaimusia” — my pupils started calling me that, and I really loved it. This just shows that the kids also came to love me. I am Moroccan, and I graduated from Moroccan University in Casablanca. I have 10 years of experience in teaching preschoolers and toddlers. After three years of working at the TEQUESTA preschool, I had availed of the opportunity to move to Germany for 5 years. Staying there made me gain even more experience with children.
Currently my home is Poland, and I love being here.
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.

With over five years of experience teaching English to young learners, I am passionate about fostering a dynamic and engaging classroom environment where children can explore and develop their language skills with confidence.

I combine creativity, fun, and hands-on activities such as singing, dancing, and interactive games to make learning English a joyful and immersive experience. My goal is to support children during their formative years by cultivating curiosity, boosting their confidence, and encouraging a lifelong love for learning.

Aneta Grodzka - POLISH TEACHER

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...

Lisa MAKAGNISE English Native Teacher

I am Lisa Makanganise,I moved to Poland in 2021 to attend Vincent Pol University in Lublin. I am originally from Harare, Zimbabwe. With more than 4 years of experience instructing young students in English, I have a strong desire to establish a lively, stimulating, and encouraging learning atmosphere where kids may flourish and gain self assurance in their language abilities. Every child is different, in my opinion, and I make an effort to modify my teaching methods to meet their requirements and learning preferences. Through the use of entertaining and engaging activities like games, dancing, and singing, I hope to make learning English engaging and significant for children to develop a lifelong love of learning, curiosity and confidence as a result of my efforts. Every child's stage of language development journey should be happy and enriching, and I look forward to support the children's growth and success.
