How to effectively prepare for the B1 Polish language exam? A Vitas School expert explains
The B1 Polish language exam is an important step towards obtaining a certificate that confirms your language proficiency. How can you prepare for it to avoid stress and mistakes? We asked Aleksandra Dulko – an experienced tutor at Vitas School.
Which tasks are the most challenging for students?
First and foremost, grammar tasks! However, if I had to point to just one, it would be the task in which the candidate must choose the correct tense and write the proper form of the verb.
Grammar exercises can be a challenge even for those who are confident in speaking. On the preparatory course at Vitas School, we pay special attention to exactly these kinds of topics.
How to avoid common mistakes in the B1 exam?
I have a list of the most frequently made mistakes in the B1 exam, and I always try to include something from it during the lessons.
Thanks to practical materials and systematic work with the list of mistakes, students can avoid the most common language traps. This approach works particularly well as part of the preparatory course at Vitas School, where each session includes elements of exam strategy.
How much time is needed for effective preparation?
Please remember that each of us is unique, and it all depends on many factors! However, when it comes to group classes, 50 hours of study allow for both strategic and language-based exam preparation.
That is why the course at Vitas School lasts 50 hours and has been designed with real B1 exam preparation in mind.
How many people are in a group and why does it matter?
At our school, there are a maximum of 8 people per group. This number allows the teacher to take a more personalised approach.
Small groups are one of the hallmarks of Vitas. They enable better contact with the teacher and a more individual approach, which increases the effectiveness of learning.
What makes Aleksandra Dulko’s approach stand out?
I always say that I teach the way I would like to be taught myself, because that is extremely important to me. I focus on quality, support, and effectiveness. In addition to engaging materials, I also guarantee plenty of energy during the lessons.
This approach is reflected in the atmosphere of the classes and the high level of student engagement. Passion and positive energy are things that course participants often highlight.
Success stories – what motivates the teacher?
I’m proud of every one of my students and always keep my fingers crossed for them! I admire anyone who wants to learn Polish and earn a certificate.
Every student’s success is a reason to be proud. At Vitas School, we support you at every stage of your journey to B1 – no matter where you start.
How to cope with exam nerves and time pressure?
Make sure to join the course well in advance of the exam and work closely with your teacher.
Regular learning and contact with an experienced tutor help build confidence and manage stress effectively.
In what format are the classes held – online, in person, or are both options available?
Classes are held both online and in person. However, if you live in the Tri-City area, I warmly invite you to join the in-person course in Gdańsk.
The flexible class format – online and in person – makes the course accessible to everyone, regardless of where they live.
What makes the preparatory course at Vitas School stand out?
Learning at Vitas is distinguished above all by an individual approach to each student. The courses are tailored to the needs, learning style, and pace of every participant. Teachers offer modern materials and teaching methods that make learning not only effective but also engaging and enjoyable.

It’s a simple but effective strategy. And if you’re looking for a place where learning is focused, supportive, and effective – you’ve come to the right place.
