TEFL jobs in Poland are a great opportunity to live abroad whilst earning money. Since the country entered the EU, in 2004, the demand for English has been on the rise. There are multiple international schools, language academies and a great focus put on teaching English to business staff. For instance, a student that wants to go into a business career is required to first pass an English test mandated by the government.

If you want to enjoy the beauty of Poland, with its historical monuments and stunning landscapes, you can do so whilst earning some money on the side. There are plenty of teaching jobs in Poland, from long term contracts with public schools and academies, to in-company training and jobs in summer camps.

How To Find The Best TEFL Jobs

Here are some basics about teaching jobs in Poland and what to expect. To start with, you are rarely able to complete a job contract online and most likely you need to travel there to have an interview in person. If you work for public schools, you can expect to follow the academic year from September to June, but more flexible jobs are available to teach English in summer camps or at business training programs.

The salary for teaching English in Poland varies between €450 and €1200 per month, which also includes some help with your accommodation costs. Since the cost of living in Poland is between €450 and €600, if you find some of the best paid TEFL jobs you could easily have enough to live in Poland and travel around.

With that in mind, how can you find the best teaching jobs? The answer depends on what you are looking for. Do you want the best paid job with a reputable school? Or do you want a flexible working timetable that pays for your travel but also gives you plenty of free time to explore your surroundings? Here are some opportunities for teaching English in Poland, for you to choose the best suited one.

Teaching Jobs In Public Or Private Schools

Teaching English in public schools in Poland is one of the best paid options. You get a stable salary for a commitment of 25 to 35 hours a week. Some schools will also cover your accommodation costs but in most cases you have to cover your airfare expenses. To get a TEFL job in a public school in Poland you need a TEFL certificate and sometimes a BA qualification.

Teaching Jobs In Summer Camps

You can teach English in summer camps in Poland. This is one of the most flexible contracts, usually lasting between 4 to 12 weeks (from June to August). This is great for language students or someone with a passion for travelling and teaching. You rarely get paid a salary for jobs in summer camps, however, the program will cover you food and accommodation costs and sometimes might also refund travel. You usually have one day off a week and get offered some spending money to explore the surroundings.

In Company Teaching Jobs

In Poland, English for business is very important. Many corporations invest into training programs to ensure that their working force is fluent in English. You can work with businesses either as a freelancer or as part of a language academy. This is a great opportunity if you want to work in the corporate world, rather than teaching young learners. Most classes are carried out in the evenings, so you always get time off during the day to explore.

How To Get The Best Teaching Jobs In Poland

As mentioned above, the best TEFL jobs in Poland depend on your preferences. If you have teaching experience and are looking to travel but also earn well, working in public or private schools with a fixed academic year contract is one of the best options. However, if you want a fun and short-term experience in London, enough to immerse yourself in the culture, but without a great commitment, jobs in summer camps are a great alternative. If you want to teach English for business and have the days to yourself to explore Poland, try to find an in-company programme. If you need more money, you can always try to earn some on the side by giving private lessons to students. You can help students with academic exams, preparing for IETLS or simply conversational English.

Get Qualified

If you want to find the best TEFL jobs for you, start with the essential qualifications – a TEFL certificate from one of the accredited TEFL courses. It will give you the knowledge you need to teach English abroad, and a certificate to open the right doors in Poland. You can find premium accredited TEFL courses here.

After you’ve got qualified, started searching for your ideal teaching jobs. The best teaching opportunities in Poland are found in major cities, such as Warsaw, Wroclaw, Krakow, Poznan, Lodz and the Tri area.  Most TEFL jobs are advertised between May and August, before the academic year starts.
