Opinie studentów

Today was my first experience with the Polish language. Łukasz provided a wonderfully varied, interesting, challenging, and rewarding class. He has a very good, modular approach. We worked on greetings, sounds of the language + diphthongs, the alphabet, numbers, formal and informal greetings, pronunciation, basic listening comprehension, and a bit of Polish culture at the end. All of it was approachable due to Łukasz's friendly approach and very well-developed, fun, and engaging teaching style. I will definitely book another class with him. Dziękuję, Łukasz! Do zobaczenia.

Łukasz is a truly outstanding teacher - bright, fun, caring and very well-prepared. As an absolute beginner, I began this first session not speaking a single word of Polish. By the end of it, Łukasz had taught me how to introduce myself, greet people at different times of the day (both formally and informally), pronounce all the letters of the Polish alphabet, distinguish the subtle differences between similar-sounding words, and also to ask and answer some simple questions ("Co to jest?", "Kto to jest?"). In addition, we covered the words left/right and the numbers 1-10. He is enthusiastic and clearly cares a lot about his students. He tailors his explanations to suit you as an individual - for example he helpfully referenced the ways in which Polish is similar to other languages I know, like Spanish and French. And finally, he made the whole hour immensely enjoyable by varying the pace and using different methods, exercises and fields of reference throughout. Dziękuję bardzo! :-) Great session where we covered so much vocabulary and grammar, via engaging exercises and a lot of practice in asking and answering questions in Polish. As ever, Łukasz was dedicated, fun and explained everything in a clear and informative way with an abundance of useful examples. His post-lesson PDF homework materials are always rich and varied too. I would highly recommend Łukasz as a teacher to anyone wanting to learn Polish.

Positive atmosphere, well prepared, interesting mix of activities, understanding of pedagogy, very good explanations. One of the best teachers on italki – dziękuję.

Great first lesson! Dziękuję!

The lesson with Lukasz today was excellent. He is very methodical in his presentation of the material and able keep the lesson entirely in Polish. An excellent instructor for a challenging but beautiful language. I am considering the Polish state exam, and he walked me through several exercises related to the exam. The presentation was very organized and gave me a good sense of what to expect. Lots of difficult consonant clusters. That is the challenge (and the fun) of Polish.

Nice lesson, Łukasz is a good teacher. Heel goed! Goed voorbereid en ik vond het ook leuk.

If you're looking for a committed, professional teacher who can immerse you in Polish culture, ensure your successful development in all areas of linguistic competence, and tailor lessons to the needs of the individual student, then I recommend Łukasz in the strongest possible terms. No to za 70 świetnych lekcji. Oby tak dalej! Fantastic teacher, providing not only an immersive linguistic experience taliored perfectly to the needs of the student, but also immersion into Polish culture. Very thankful for the 50 great lessons so far, and looking forward to many more to come.

Excellent teacher!

Super! Original and very good in pointing out my weaknesses. This is very important for me since I am studying for the C1 certificate. It’s hard to find a polish teacher who teaches the B2+ C1 level in a strict and precise way. Polecam!!!

Great, felt like I was making good progress today. Thank you for your patience in exploring spelling and pronunciation with me and for getting me to read a story in Polish! I understood more than I expected to! Excellent, good pace, fun to work with.

Świetna lekcja! Łukasz explained the third Polish conjugation and we reviewed the previous ones. There were some exercises and also useful vocabulary related to hobbies. Dziękuję bardzo!

Lukasz is always punctual, organized, and knows when to go faster or slower. He will always make sure that you understand, and has no problem with repeating a topic several times until completely understood. Lukasz prepared a very good lesson with helpful materials that used after to prepare for the next lesson. The lesson was great. Łukasz explains everything really well and also sends lots of extra materials related to the topics covered in the lesson after the end of the class.
It was good to start the day studying polish with him. Dziękuję bardzo, Łukasz! Looking forward the next class!

Motivating introduction course, enrolling with confidence!

Łukasz was a pleasure to learn with, he started off with the very basics and explained the language in depth which is something lacking from many other teachers. He has a clear structure and he sticks to it ensuring the basics are solid right from day 1. I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Polish.

Good class. Left a very good impression. Very well prepared teacher. Can not wait to continue the classes.

Had a very good first lesson with Łukasz. He was prepared for the lesson and made me feel comfortable throughout the course of it. Can't wait to continue my studies with him as my teacher. I wanted to practice my pronunciation in polish. Since I have a lot of issues with it. A lot of new sounds to produce which are different than my native language. He prepared a lot of examples and tested my knowledge. Gave good feedback on my pronunciation and I felt really comfortable to make the sounds with the chance of failing. He gave examples of the sounds in languages with which I was familiar to make it a bit easier.

I've just had the first lesson and it was great! I'm looking forward to the next one!

Muito interessante. Será um desafio aprender a língua.

I believe that Lukasz is definitely a good choice for anybody trying to learn Polish. He's very in depth and he really seems to care about his students progress. I would definitely recommend him to anybody trying to learn Polish. Especially beginners. I will definitely be scheduling future lessons with him in the very near future.

Honestly, I can't recommend Łukasz enough. He is a gold standard in how to conduct an Italki class and engage with students. He is always well prepared for lessons, brings varied materials, adjusts pace.. He is very engaging and enthusiastic about Poland and Polish language which in turn enthuses students. On top of this, he follows up with his students weekly and you feel part of a learning club. Overall excellent and can't rate highly enough!

Dziękuję bardzo za lekcje! Zawsze świetnie :)

Subject: Łukasz Załuski Teacher of Polish for Foreigners
To Whom It May Concern:
Mr. Załuski has been chosen to teach linguistics and I am writing a letter of recommendation in support of his efforts. I cannot speak of his skill in teaching languages; however as a former student I can firmly attest to his abilities, efforts and preparedness as an educator. He always does whatever it takes to help any student understand and retain the material. His preparation is always extensive and when asked any question he would return with the correct answer as soon as possible.
He has always been an effective teacher and has utilized the class time effectively. His extensive preparation allows students to begin effective communication immediately. His cheerful attitude lends an air of spontaneity while his authoritarian control keeps the conversation directly in the learning plan. His years of teaching Polish for foreigners have given him extensive fundamental skills as a trainer.
His knowledge and use of technology in the aid and extension of his instruction is exemplary. He uses modern technologies (computer, tablet, video podcast) as well as traditional as an aid to training.
Łukasz's personal interaction in and out of the classroom shows a well-rounded charitable attitude that presents his 'a hand up! type of belief system. He gives so much in so many ways with his time. He will work with everybody who will work with him. He can see the end and works diligently toward it. He supports everyone who is willing to put forth the effort. His stamina and efforts are beyond expectation while his wisdom and understanding are expressed in gifts of friendship to those who will share their time.
Sincerely Yours
Dr. Viktória Kerć Director Chilean-Hungarian Chamber of Commerce

What a wonderful introductory lesson with Łukasz! He did a great job assessing my level in the beginning and we worked on grammar which is exactly what I needed. He spoke at a good speed that I was able to understand the whole time. I felt comfortable the entire lesson and he has no problem stopping to explain something I don't understand. He is very knowledgeable of Polish grammar/phonetics and did an excellent job explaining everything to me in a way that is easy to understand...which I think is the true difference between a great professional teacher and tutor. The 45 minutes went by so fast! That's how I know I really enjoyed the lesson :) Dziękuję bardzo Łukasz! I will definitely book my next lesson soon!

Lessons with Łukasz were fun and interesting. The way he interacted with us, his patience and the way he related with us was just amazing. I was able to catch up on time, understand the language and successfully passed the exams with good grades.

Very organized and structured. Łukasz adapted his speed to match me. Wonderful materials and a really engaging lesson. Thank you for the great lesson.

Good intro lesson. Felt comfortable and we quickly measured my level of Polish and my weaker points (cases grammar). Used multiple methods in Skype to test and practice.
