My name is Ms Tomaszek and I’m a NET at St. Rose of Lima’s School. I grew up in Warsaw, Poland and spent a large chunk of my adult life in the United Kingdom, mostly in the Cotswolds, followed by moving to Hong Kong in 2019. I hold a degree in Applied Linguistics (BA) and Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (MSc). I have always been very passionate about languages; my childhood dream was to become a language teacher, which is exactly what I did! 

I’m a fluent user of three languages (English, Polish and French) and an avid book reader. Apart from languages, I’m passionate about animals. I admire them in all forms and shapes (apart from mosquitoes). I travel the world in search of the most unique creatures which my husband, a wildlife photographer, captures with his camera. 

I feel very blessed to work at St. Rose of Lima’s School, where I can contribute to designing an exceptionally creative English curriculum and planning exciting activities for our wonderful girls.
