Our team is comprised of genuinely gifted minds
I am a CELTA-certified English teacher with over four years of experience and a Master’s degree in American Studies. My two biggest achievements are surviving a year-long trip from Poland to Australia by land and sea in late 2017 and early 2018, and founding Language Coop Reykjavík in September 2022. Throughout half of my teaching career I was involved with the Talkersi language school in Gdynia, where I was one of the go-to English Trainers for business clients and those working in the IT industry. I have also worked as a tutor for a number of students of various ages and nationalities, including children in Vietnam and Cambodia.
My students have usually described me as an open-minded, patient and kind person. With my help, you can be sure to become a proficient and confident English speaker within a matter of months (depending on your initial skill level). I will not bother you with needless and excessive theory. “All killer, no filler” is what I’m all about!
They call me Paula, though my real name is Paulina. I am passionate about many things, especially about languages. I started teaching English 2015 as a volunteer in Armenia and I’ve been doing it ever since. I have taught English in Chile and Poland, among other places. I have a TESOL certificate, which I received while living in Edinburgh in 2018. I studied cognitive science, but became a full-time traveler when I decided not to pursue a PhD. I love scientific trivia about learning and memorization (not just English vocabulary). The fact that I like brains doesn't make me a zombie at all. I recently heard "Paula! Thank you! I finally didn't feel like a fifth wheel during the trip, and I was able to participate in conversations during my vacation for the first time in my life!" after 4 months of cooperation. So, if you want to see what we can achieve together, sign up for a lesson with me!
Hi! My name is Martyna. I'm a nomad by nature and that's how I found myself in Iceland eight years ago. My restless soul carries me around the world to different countries. I rely on language and communication - I never forget to pack these two things in my suitcase and take them with me on any trip.
My love for languages started as early as school with English, through studies in Poland with Japanese, and ended up studying both Japanese and Korean at the University of Iceland. Any language can be learned, even if it seems impossible at first 🙂 Come, and you will see how the world is open to you, if only you want to talk to it.

I'm from Belarus, and I'm currently based in Poland. I've been teaching English for 7 years, both individually and in groups. I have worked with major companies such as the Olvi Group and Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide, helping people of different professions to integrate English into their daily work. I also lived in France and Hungary where I studied and acquired language skills. I'm also a full-time mother of two boys 🙂 Providing online classes at Language Coop Reykjavik brings me a lot of happy moments, especially my students share their lives and passions during our chats. This feedback brings me great feeling of joy and desire to continue doing what I do. See you at the lesson!

When do classes take place?
Lesson times are arranged based on your availability, which you can indicate in the sign-up form. As of 2025, on-site classes in Hafnarfjörður take place on Tuesday between 10am and 8pm. Online classes take place any day of the week, depending on the availability of the teacher.
How long is each lesson?
Each one on one class lasts 50 minutes.
How many lessons per week?
We recommend starting with one lesson per week – it gives you time to practice between sessions without feeling overwhelmed. Want more? We’re happy to offer more frequent lessons if it fits your schedule and energy – just don’t bite off more than you can chew 😊
How long does the course last?
That depends on your goals, level, motivation, and practice habits. On average, students stay with us for about 24 lessons, which is often more than enough to noticeably level up your English.
Are 2-2-3 courses available?
Yes! Just let us know your availability in the sign-up form and we’ll build a schedule that works for you.
What do I need for online classes?
Just a device with decent Internet connection (a PC, tablet or smartphone) and a quiet place where nobody will bother you! It is good to have a pair of headphones or earbuds, but they’re not necessary. The classes are held on Google Meets – no additional software needs to be downloaded before the lesson.
Do we also teach kids?
Of course! 🙂
How to receive educational grants?
If you belong to a trade union in Iceland (most legally employed people do!), you’re likely eligible for a grant usually covering 90% of your course cost.
To apply, you’ll need a paid invoice from us, and proof of payment (PDF/screenshot from your bank or a receipt). We’re happy to help guide you through the process if needed.
