The story of Ivan Polák: English as a path to self-confidence and success with Harmony Academy

Ivan Polák is one of those students who are proof that the right approach, quality teaching and a friendly environment can bring visible results. Our journey together started back in 2002-2003,when Ivan was one of the first students of Harmony Academy. Years later, we met again in September 2024 and it was clear to me that he deserved the best - best practice, top quality teaching and a supportive, stimulating environment. I decided to take on teaching him personally.

Meaningful progress and self-confidence

In 2024, Ivan decided to return to English in order to improve his communication skills. He sees his progress "in a meaningful way",focusing on the practical use of language: discussions, questions and answers that have helped him develop the ability to respond and think in English.

"The biggest benefit for me was just the free conversations. Not only did I pick up new expressions like apparently and admittedly,but I also gained more confidence in speaking, which is a huge step forward for me personally," says Ivan.

English in practice and work achievements

Ivan's job requires him to communicate with international partners, which is why the ability to speak fluent English is crucial for him. "Thanks to the classes at Harmony Academy, I have improved my communication with my German partners considerably and I feel much more confident in work situations."

Experience support and friendly environment

When asked why he decided to return to Harmony Academy, Ivan answers unequivocally, " The relationship with the teachers, the support, and the real value for the time and energy." He appreciates not only the quality of instruction, but also the human approach and stimulating environment that motivated him to overcome challenges and continually improve.

Improving skills in practice

Ivan has significantly advanced his skills in several areas:

  • Speaking confidently: "I have gained more confidence and can communicate more fluently."
  • Reading and comprehension: 'I now perceive texts more easily and with better comprehension'.
  • Reactions in the debates: 'Thanks to the free debates, I can react immediately and without hesitation.'
