My decision to study English stemmed from a strong sense of purpose.
I knew I wanted to teach and help people learn languages effectively. I am one of those people whose years at university did not change their original plans. I still wanted to support children, teenagers, and adults in learning English—so they could speak naturally, confidently, and without stress.
Then an unexpected challenge appeared.
I moved to Belgium and settled in Brussels. Ironically, I found myself living in a place where English often takes a secondary role in the education system. Although Brussels is an international city and home to many global organisations, English is introduced in public education at a relatively late stage.
For the first time, I questioned whether my natural ability to communicate and my passion for connecting with people would truly have a place here. At first, I wondered whether there would truly be a need for my work in a city like Brussels.
Thankfully, I never gave up. I continued to believe that my work mattered. I felt that I could genuinely change someone’s life—helping them overcome the fear of travelling abroad, meeting new people, and speaking English with confidence.
So, I made a decision: I would teach English in Brussels.
However, I also remembered my experience working in a Polish primary school and realised that large classes—even those with 20 students—often make effective language learning much more difficult. This is one of the reasons why many learners complete language courses still unable to communicate comfortably and confidently in English.
That is how Green Door was created.
A small, welcoming language school where everyone has the opportunity to speak, be heard, and feel supported.
