About Me
italki teacher since Aug 10, 2020InterestsFilms & TV SeriesReadingGaming
My name is Bartosz, I'm a native polish speaker and few years ago I gained my Master's Degree in Teaching Polish as a Foreign Language at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. Originally, I'm from central Poland but I moved south to Cracow seven years ago to study polish philology as my Bachelor Degree. I like spending my free time with friends, reading books (fantasy, biographies or classics), watching TV series (I love Friends, Glee and Drag Race) or playing games (Dragon Age, Hogwarts Legacy, Crusader Kings or The Sims).Me as a Teacher
I want to teach you how to use Polish in specific situations like ordering coffee, doing the shopping or booking a hotel room but also how to simply make a small talk or deeper conversations. No matter what's you level of proficiency I will help you improve your pronunciation so you will be understood be others. I'm really flexible as a teacher so knowing what someone needs and expects is important to me because it helps me organize my work better.My lessons & teaching style
My methods and style depend on students needs. We can:
- start a whole course on certain level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2),
- top up your knowledge on certain level (A1-C2)
- focus on specific element of language (e.g. pronunciation, orthography or grammar)
- mix Polish and English to talk culture, history and geography
- focus on certain vocabulary (e.g. economy, wildlife, law, anatomy, business)
These are just some examples of how our work together might look like.My teaching material

Every week I look forward to my Polish lessons because I enjoy them SO much! I learn a lot in only 60 minutes. I also love the pace: you never get bored in class! Bartosz is an amazing teacher: his explanations are very clear and he always asks me if I have questions and answers them.
Go ahead and book a lesson with him, you will not regret it!

As I have already written several times, I always enjoy my lessons with Bartosz. He is well-prepared and ready to answer any questions that I may have. Since I speak Russian, I see a lot of similarities between the two languages. However, the differences are more interesting. The instructor does an excellent job of giving me enough information to satisfy my curiosity without confusing me with unnecessary information. Bartosz is a superb teacher!
