Probably easiest to find a job once you're 'on-the-ground'. Present yourself well, up-date your CV (resume) and do the rounds of schools in the area. You are more likely to find work at certain time of the year than others - start of the academic year is best.


When does the academic year start in Poland? I think I'm going to try a two-pronged approach:

1. Apply to various language schools et al
2. Advertise as a private tutor for individual tutoring, group tutoring, conversation, etc.

there are a lot people on here that don't spell English words correctly... i'm curious how someone can teach English while they need much improvement themselves. i'm curious because i'm from Canada and am interested in teaching English in Poland but if they accept any kind of teacher, whether they know the language perfectly or not, than i don't think it is worth any of my time..

and thank you uk i'll look into it! :)

You are, are you? I'm curious about people who don't use capital letters correctly. Drop the 'tude, it's unbecoming.

i totally agree, i can't stand people who teach english that don't speak the language properly themselves. I have always been interested in teaching english abroad, Poland would be one of my first choices as i already teach a number of people basic everyday (what i would call usefull) english. I've always thought you have to be a teacher lik Seamus??? am i wrong??

If you set up on your own then the answer would be not neccessarily.

Private teaching work is down to reputation.

I've been headhunted twice and have no qualifications.

This is so true, as I have never advertised for a job in Poland, not blowing my own trumpet (well perhaps a little). :)

Once you start having private conversation lessons and if you don't bore them to death, it just snowballs, and in the end you have to start turning people away.

I have a question. This sounds like a great way to do it. However, how does a Non-EU person come there for any length of time? If I come there in a month and a half to look it would only be on a visitor visa. How can I come and job hunt and stay with out having to fly back to the US?

lowfunk99, the person to speak to on here is Harry, and although I have had one or two run ins with him, he knows his stuff and he is a OK guy really.
If you do a search through his messages on his profile or do a search in the top right hand corner, you should be able to find all the info you need, or send him a PM and he may help.
