Ewa Drobek

Hi! My name is Ewa Drobek!

Let's start!

Od 25 lat zajmuję się nauczaniem. Jestem nauczycielką z absolutnego zamiłowania. Swoją pracę lubię nazywać hodowaniem skrzydeł, pomagając młodym ludziom w rozwoju ich pasji!

Contact me

I like challenges! I am full of ideas, but also open to new directions of development. Do you have an idea of what we can do together for the world? Just write to me and together we will change it for the better!

--- Word of introduction ---

I am an English and German Teacher.

Every day I try to improve my workshop through specific activities. First of all, through everyday work with students, based on authentic materials, so that my lessons are interesting, but also provide content that will be useful to students not only during tests, but above all - in life.

We work together so that they have open doors to all universities in the world, where they can make their dreams come true!

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world".

- Nelson Mandela

The wing farm

How do I work with my students? There is a reason I like to call my studio "The wing farm". Each of my students is unique. I want the "final product" of the school to be a sensitive, well-read, open and respectful person, who is not only thinking about the goal, but apart from all, appreciating the path that is needed to gain knowledge.

The shool above the clouds

The School Above the Clouds is a dream school that ensures the sustainable development of every young person. It is a place that not only prepares you to take exams, but also supports the development of passion and talents. I believe that schools should just make these dreams come true!

Żmichowska sings

If I were asked about the project closest to my heart, which was co-created from scratch with my students, I would undoubtedly say - Żmichowska Sings! It is a project that not only developed me as a teacher, but above all - as a human being!

Teaching in COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic is a new reality that we all had to adapt to. It revealed human weaknesses, but also the power that lies dormant in our adaptation abilities as humanity. It also showed how much we need to be surrounded by people.

Keating in a skirt

Probably the biggest award for me, was to hear my student saying that I was his "Keating in a skirt". And although such comparisons intimidate me, I think that John Keating and I actually have something in common. This common thing is the love for teaching.

Social activity

In my work, many times I have been involved in social projects and charity. With my students, we know that nothing is impossible and we prove every day how much can be done for other people.

--- TOWARDS THE DREAMS! ---

In my life, both private and professional, I have always put the most emphasis on interpersonal relationships. I think that man is by nature a truly social being and needs people around him. For as long as I can remember, I have been following the principle of "strength in numbers" because in this way we can gain more and achieve better results.

My job is about continuous learning, I still draw inspiration from cooperation with outstanding educators. Therefore, you can often meet me at conferences and congresses or hear me in the media.

Publications and media

I regularly speak publically. I am invited to radio and television stations and give interviews to the press. I am very happy that the projects I lead are so successful and therefore are spread further into the world!

Associations and conferences

Meetings, relationships and establishing interpersonal contacts are crucial for me not only at work, but above all, in my private life. New, inspiring people are an ignition spark for me to create.

Awards

My greatest successes are the successes of my pupils, because behind each student stands a teacher, who is curious, open and passionate. All the awards I have received are the result of our hard work.

--- THEY TALK ABOUT ME ---

Prof. Jerzy Buzek

Polish Prime Minister 1997-2001

Ms. Drobek is an outstanding teacher. Her passion, achievements as well as her social involvement in educational projects and in activities organized for young students, justify, in my opinion, the awarding of this prize to Ms Drobek.

Prof. Jerzy Hausner

Deputy Prime Minister 2003–2005.

All activities of Ewa Drobek lead to raising the aspirations of students, discovering new perspectives and opportunities. Ewa inspires her students to go beyond their limitations, to explore the world and develop themselves on many levels.

Ewa Czarnojan

General Manager Oxford University Press Polska

With simple tools but ingenious ideas resonating with young people from various countries Ewa promotes important values in the modern world: tolerance, empathy, sharing, sensitivity towards the needs of the weaker, ecology.

Jan Dziekiewicz

MSc, a graduate of the 15th Narcyza Żmichowska High School.

Looking at Mrs. Ewa's teaching approach from a distance of time, I think it was extraordinary. Goal-oriented (that is - the final exam) with amazing recipes to learn and pay attention to the most important issues. After her preparatory course, you were doomed to success!

Anna Sosna

Teacher of the Year 2011

The first association is the sound of music, and behind it, there stands a fairy who fulfills the musical dreams of young people. As she says herself - she doesn't sing, but her pupils sing and play wonderfully. Thanks to her commitment and perseverance, new, amazingly professional and artistically tasteful albums are created. Ewa's strength and her boundless support make the impossible completely real.

Monika Pawlicka

Airplane pilot, a graduate of the 15th Narcyza Żmichowska High School

I clearly remember our first classes together. Mrs. Ewa wanted to get to know us better and understand where we were from and where we were going. The question asked so frequently: what do you want to do after graduating from high school? Each of us said something about studies, dream universities, maybe about job opportunities. I was lost then, why would I have a plan? Mrs. Ewa told us: “Prestige is not everything. Sometimes it's better to do what you really want". And that's how my self-discovery has just begun.

Dorota Łoboda

Chairwoman of the Education Committee of the Council of the Capital City of Warsaw

Mrs. Ewa Drobek is an exceptional teacher. This is a person extremely committed to her work, full of energy and enthusiasm, which attracts students. I am very impressed with the project "Żmichowska sings", which she has been realising for many years now. In each edition, she gives young people a chance to show their talents to the world. The concerts of the youth organized by Ewa Drobek are extraordinary artistic experiences.

Zuzanna Domosławska

A graduate of the 15th Narcyza Żmichowska High School

Mrs. Ewa is a teacher and friend in one. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person. Thanks to such people, education becomes better. Mrs. Ewa to this day is an inspiration for me. As probably a future teacher, I want to be there for my students just as Mrs. Ewa is now for her pupils.
