Work / Would it be hard to work in Poland if I don't speak Polish? [17]

It is not necessary to speak Polish to find work as a 'Native Speaker' at one of the English language schools. It can be used as an advantage, but you need to work with Intermediate level students/groups or above since you won't be able to teach English in Polish. The advantage is that you force the student to speak in English since you can't speak Polish. It does help to get some certification since some schools can only have a certain percentage of non-certified instructors on staff in order to maintain their accreditation.

It would also help if you have some experience as an instructor and like/feel comfortable doing that sort of thing. I didn't think I would (my background is Software Development) but I did! I am staying as busy as I want to be. WRT pay, you will be hired as a contractor, so there will be no benefits since you are not a company employee. As long as you file your reports on-time, you should get paid on a regular basis. Keep in mind though, that unless you also have private lessons, you will only get paid once a month. So you need to be able to live on a budget. Good lesson for me - coming from the US...

Double post... Sorry!
