Subject, object and pronoun

Hello people,

I am working to improve my writing skills and I have a very basic question regarding subject, object and pronoun.

Can we use the object of a sentence as a subject of the following sentence by object's pronoun?

for example,

John likes his English teacher Jim. He is well-experienced.

Does he (pronoun) represents the teacher, Jim? or the pronoun is ambiguous, could represent John as well?

Regards

frazpk John likes his English teacher Jim. He is well - very experienced. The antecedent (reference) of a pronoun is the closest noun that makes logical sense.

In your sentence, "Jim" is closer to "He" than "John." Also it makes logical sense that a teacher is experienced. So the reader will assume
