Izabela Chmiel
I’m glad you’re here! You’re probably wondering whether I can help you achieve your goals and overcome your communication challenges. I’ll do my best to answer that.
On a daily basis, I work as a teacher of English and Japanese. I’ve created several programmes, courses, and learning materials that support people in reaching their goals across four continents. I also often take on the role of a trainer in intercultural skills.
What am I valued for?
In my collaborations, I focus on two things: relationships and effectiveness. I’m a practitioner who works in four languages today. The people I support in their development appreciate my energy, sense of humour, and training expertise.

My passion
My greatest passions are foreign languages and cultures, with a particular focus on Japan and Spain—I love contrasts. They have opened the door for me to better understand intercultural communication in social, ethical, and business contexts.
I’m also a huge enthusiast of CrossFit, football, and travelling to off-the-beaten-path destinations. My passion for sport not only allows me to meet inspiring people but also helps me maintain high energy levels in both my personal and professional life.
