Piotr Brynczka

Piotr Brynczka Piotr Brynczka is a dedicated teacher with many years of experience under his belt.

Piotr Brynczka is the first author in the history of Canadian literature to have a book published where the reader is the hero of the story. Piotr was inspired by the Choose Your Own Adventure collection published in the late 70’s – early 80’s by Bantam Books in New York. He got hooked to those books at a very young age when his mother introduced him to them. After reading over and over every Choose Your Own Adventure book he could find, Piotr wished that the books had more pages and the missions to accomplish be more challenging. This way every book would last longer. He decided that some day, he will start his own collection of books where the reader is the hero of the story… and he did, adding many incredible twists to his outstanding work!

Today, Piotr Brynczka is a dedicated teacher with many years of experience under his belt. He completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in French as well as a Master’s degree in French linguistics and translation from Carleton University, graduating with highest honours. While finishing his undergraduate degree, he became the second student in Carleton University’s history to complete seven full time courses in a single school year while maintaining an A average. He then went on to Teacher’s College at the University of Ottawa to complete his Bachelor of Education, once again graduating with honours. "I always knew I wanted to be a teacher", recalls the young man. "While finishing my Master’s degree at Carleton University, I taught a French course to first year students. I loved the experience, which solidified even more my belief that I wanted to become a teacher. I love children, and I find that every day, I am always learning something new from them. I belief this is one of the most rewarding professions."

After graduating from Teacher’s College, Piotr taught at in a Catholic High School before deciding to switch to the elementary level. "I missed the younger kids", he said. Since that day, Piotr taught every subject at almost all the grade level to French Immersion students. He also specialized in teaching Core French for many years. When he finished writing his manuscript, he read the first couple of pages to his grade 4 to grade 6 students. They became ecstatic, fascinated with the mission, and begged their teacher to keep on reading his manuscript. What was so special what about? Piotr made it lengthy, very challenging like no book before, full of traps and unpredictable scary creatures, but most of all, the reader has remarkable magical skills that he/she can choose from a list of powers. Piotr’s students got incredibly hooked are impatiently waiting for the book release ever since.

Besides being a very creative writer, Piotr is an accomplished athlete, a businessman, and an avid Chess player. He is a Martial Arts expert who got involved in judo at age six, and learned an impressive array of Martial Arts over the years. He holds a black belt in judo, is an expert grappler/striker, and got involved in many Martial Arts competitions where he won numerous medals. He also got involved in track and field, wind surfing, volleyball, rock climbing, horseback riding and many other sports where he excels. As well, Piotr enjoys doing business. He created a depilatory product for men and woman made only with natural ingredients that can be applied anywhere on the skin to remove unwanted hair. "Some athletes want to remove hair all the time", he says "so that’s where I got the idea." He is right now dealing with several companies in order to build more and more awareness about his great product.

When he has time, Piotr enjoys a nice Chess game with his personal computer or with who ever is available to play. "Chess is great way to develop great analytical skills", he says. "I also teach Chess at school and students love the game."
