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.
French:

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.

I’ve had a great experience working with Jhon—he’s an excellent tutor all around.
He’s patient, engaging, and really knows how to adapt lessons to your level and goals.
I’ve noticed clear improvement in my Spanish, especially in my confidence and ability to express myself more naturally. Highly recommend.

Clase muy recomendable. El profesor explica de forma clara y hace las clases dinámicas y amenas, lo que facilita mucho el aprendizaje. Se nota que hay buena organización y que se adapta al nivel de cada alumno. Ideal tanto para empezar desde cero como para mejorar el nivel de inglés.

I have been learning Spanish with Jhon and I highly recommend him if you are interested in learning the language. His lessons are always well-structured and rigourous. The content is comprehensive and taught in a variety of formats (conversation practice, written homework and tasks etc.) that really helps the language stick. Jhon is also very knowledgeable and does a great job of teaching the cultural context behind Spanish alongside the usual grammar and structure.
