Adrian

Adrian is the best Polish teacher you can find. He's always fun to talk to and he is very knowledgeable. In the very rare occassion that he doesn't have an answer, he will research it so he can explain any aspect of the language as best as possible. I'm still at a beginner level, but I'm feeling very comfortable during lessons with Adrian even while I'm still struggling with almost every Polish sentence. He makes learning Polish fun and thanks to Adrian I'm actually starting to believe that I'll be able to understand and speak this language someday!

Having attempted a few times to tackle learning polish and despite having some wonderful teachers on here I still found myself overwhelmed and frustrated by the language. It just seemed insurmountable. I never in a million year imagine'd I'd hear myself saying a polish lesson was "fun" or "enjoyable" or that I'd be laughing my way through but with Adrian's guidance, classes are just that. Not only does he have the skillset to present these tricky concepts in a way that is both simple and logical but he also has a sharp intuition in knowing where you need to go and what you should be working on and he tailors his approach accordingly. But most importantly he leaves you feeling inspired and enlightened to keep going which (esp. for a language like Polish) is critical. I think they're many good teachers on this platform who can give you explanations and examples but a GREAT teacher is one who possesses innately the ability to inspire, charm and educate. Adrian is one of those teachers! :)

I felt profoundly sad during today's lesson with Adrian because it was just so impossibly awesome that the lessons I've had with other tutors here on iTalki which I was once able to appreciate now pale so drastically in comparison that they now seem simply intolerable and lacking in value! Adrian is simply resides on a whole different plane of existence, an entirely different universe as a language teacher, and I wish everyone I met were like Adrian, teachers or others, and that all other life experiences were more like my lessons with him -- intense, linguistically productive, intellectually fulfilling and emotionally enriching. My lessons with Adrian are the greatest blessings I have in my life right now! I say this all the time but seriously, thank you for your time, for helping me so immensely, and for all the work that you do. It's hard labour teaching 1.5 hour long Polish beginner lessons every day and to do it with so much investment! You are extraordinary!

Great first class, looking forward to more.

Just finished a trial lesson with Adrian and it was the perfect mix of learning/speaking in Polish interjected with English. He was encouraging and patient and I'm looking forward to working together!

Great trial lesson with Adrian. He's very patient with my pronunciation, explains well, and does frequent check-ins to ensure I understand the dialogue. I'm definitely signing up for more lessons with Adrian!
