I have two teaching offers. One is with Regent College in Elblag and one is with ILS in Opole. I'd love to hear feedback on either the cities or the schools. I have seen slightly negative posts about them on Daves ESL. There are a lot of disgruntled teachers though. I'm sure there are many bad schools too. I'm just weighing out my decisions Any input on the schools or the cities would be greatly appreciated.

I have no idea about those schools but you should make between 4000 and 5000 monthly for 30 hours a week before taxes and ZUS (polish health care) or the school should pay it. Are they offering you a work Visa?

Regent College in Elblag is run by an evil, manipulative witch called Dorora Goerick. Stay away from there if you want to keep your sanity.

I used to work in Cosmopolitan school in Opole (late 90's). Decent wages and conditions.

I know that there are MANY schools in Opole (and no doubt elsewhere) who are paying crap wages. SHOP around! My wife's from there and we go there at least twice annually to visit in-laws etc. I'd personally move back there tomorrow (but my wife prefers Scotland...!). Alternatively I'd move to Warmai/Mazuri area - possibly my favourite area in Poland (though don't tell my wife!) - and where my Dziadek was from.

If you want to know about Opole, mail me back and I'll pass on my views etc.

The fact that they constantly advertise for teachers says everything.

I worked for her. This poster is correct. Stay as far away from Regent as you can.

Opole is rather small but a great student city. It is home to Itaka so any trips that you take abroad through them will have their buses located there.

I had to travel up there from Gliwice, only 1 hour, to get the coach to the Balkans.

It's a good place to cycle around.

Even better, it's not far away from Katowice-Pyrzowice airport.

Exactly, I can get there in 50 mins. It's about 70 from Opole.

That's funny because I have been offered a job at the Regent school in Elbląg too!! Did you go there and meet them? I was told that me and another person were being considered for a position... but... hmmm... I received the contract today and I have a few words to say about it. I have been working in Poland for 2 years and I think i know the country and t&c's of contracts quite well - send me a pm - it would be interesting to discuss this 'offer'.

Also, why do people think that Dorota is manipulative?
