Just my two cents...
Antonego: I'm currently finishing the full tefl course online at the moment. Oh why oh why did you waste your money doing this? It's very unlikely that most schools will recognise it - and while it gives you a good grounding in English grammar, it's pretty much seen as useless. I'm not one who thinks that qualifications are the be-all and end-all of teaching (they're not) - but this really is worthless if you're applying to any school which demands qualifications from their teachers.
Antonego: I've had some teaching experience This is good - the skills are transferable. The fact that you've done it in a 'real world' setting as opposed to a classroom setting is also good.
Antonego: He says I should make up some CV's and try to arrange meetings while I'm over there. Yup, go straight in and be forceful about arranging meetings.
Antonego: and what is the average kind of salary being banded around. You can aim for 50zl per teaching hour if you're preparing lessons - though it's by no means certain, especially as Wroclaw isn't lacking in foreigners who can teach. It can go as low as 30zl - though personally, I'd steer clear of such a low offer. Realistically, if you aim for 40zl an hour, you've got a good chance of finding employment.
However - hours are a different beast. Do not believe any promises - judge schools by what they actually give you.
