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!

I very much look forward to my lessons with Bartek. He maintains the perfect tempo in every class, not too fast to be overwhelming and not too slow to be boring. He also checks for understanding often which I appreciate. Bartek also ensures that I have a lot of time to speak, which is important for developing confidence and mastery of the notoriously difficult phonology of Polish. Overall, Bartek is an excellent instructor! I highly recommend him.

I always look forward to my lessons with Bartosz, and today's class was no exception. I am enjoying the challenge of studying Polish, and the instructor does a wonderful job of introducing new material and of giving me ample time to practice what I have learned.

I am really enjoying my lessons with Bartosz. Polish is a very challenging language, but under the able tutelage of the instructor, it doesn't seem as daunting.
