English:
I learned a powerful Spanish maxim: "Discipline, cleanliness, and punctuality are the keys to victory." This highlights the importance of discipline, cleanliness, and punctuality for success. I teach with this disciplined approach, essential for mastering languages.
Polish:
Nauczyłem się potężnej hiszpańskiej maksymy: „Dyscyplina, czystość i punktualność są kluczami do zwycięstwa”. Podkreśla ona znaczenie dyscypliny, czystości i punktualności dla sukcesu. Uczę z tym zdyscyplinowanym podejściem, niezbędnym do opanowania języków.

Teaching experience
2020 - Current
TutorSince July 16, 2020, I’ve been teaching on Italki, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Over the years, I've had the privilege of working with students from all around the world, helping them improve their language skills. The diversity of learners has broadened my teaching methods and deepened my understanding of different cultures. Each lesson is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I’m grateful for the experience and all the connections I’ve made along the way.
2023 - 2024
Teaching Practicum InternIn 2023, I began a 60-hour practicum as a teaching intern at a local school, where I developed and delivered language lessons. I worked closely with experienced teachers, honing my skills in creating engaging and effective lessons while adapting my approach to meet the diverse needs of students. Due to my performance, I was accepted again in 2024, completing an additional 60 hours, for a total of around 120 hours. This hands-on experience has significantly enhanced my teaching techniques.

Jhon is an incredible teacher with verve and compassion for the art of learning a new language. He employs different strategies to ensure I grasp each grammatical concept. I am excited to have my lessons with Jhon and have seen dramatic improvement in my abilities to speak comfortably in Spanish with strangers thus forging new relationships. My language goals have already been surpassed and I cannot wait to see my continued improvement. I'd recommend Jhon to anyone!

Jhon is truly one of the best teachers on Italki. He’s dedicated to improving his craft every single day and always takes the time to understand your goals and challenges.
When I first met him three years ago, he was still fairly new to online teaching. Since then, I’ve watched him grow tremendously as an educator — his ability to explain grammar, lead conversations, and introduce new topics has become both clear and effortless.
I highly recommend booking a trial and continuing lessons with him. He’s worth every penny.
