How can anybody survive in Poland as a teacher of English living on £200 a month
I know of several people teaching English as native speakers, and they do very well out of it.
Based on lessons at a rate of 50zł per hour, 6 hourly lessons per day, for a 5 day week, then the monthly income would be ........approx 6500zł.
Using an exchange rate 0f 5.2zł to £1, this gives them a monthly income of
£1250In addition to conversation with native speaker, they also provide listening sessions whereby the student will come and listen to text on a computer for anything between 1-2 hours - the rate for this is less.
I was a bit sceptical about students wanting to pay for such a service......ie. pay just to come and listen to someone speaking English via computer - but I have seen it with my own eyes. A friend of mine has set up about 5 computers in a room and while he gives a conversation lesson to one student, he has 5 other students listening to English via headphones on computer.
I know that pay for native speakers in schools is usually not enough to live, which is why most give private lessons.
