Hello everyone. I am a big fan of languages. I love visiting new places and wherever I go, I try to learn some local vocabulary and phrases. Moreover, I like music – listening and piano playing – that's why I really care about good pronunciation. I am able to talk about various topics, so don't hesitate do contact me. About Slovakia and Slovak language. People always argue if it's Eastern or Central Europe, so let's make a compromise: we'll call it the Eastern part of Central Europe.

In my private life, I am a teacher in a college, but not of languages... But I am quite creative and I think I can catch up with your needs and adjust my explanation to what you expect.

I really appreciate when teachers go out of their way to provide examples and charts for concepts I'm struggling with and Jakub is amazing at this. When I mention wanting to improve in a certain area he takes it to heart and makes personalized content to use for the next lesson. He's the best!

Jakub ist ein ausgezeichneter Lehrer. Für meine Bedürfnisse ein idealer Lehrer, dem es gelungen ist, durch seinen sehr abwechslungsreichen Unterricht das Interesse für seine sehr schwierige Muttersprache zu fördern. Seine Erklärungen dazu sind fundiert und aufschlussreich. Ich kann Jakub als Slowakischlehrer allen sehr empfehlen!!!!!
