Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]
From personal experience, I can second that. Although speaking Polish is an advantage, it is by no means a necessity.
Where it is useful is
1) some students appreciate it when you can translate a Polish word on the spot,
2) writing an ad, but you can get a Polish friend to do this, and
3) for more sophisticated corporate engagements - whereby as Jon357 said, you could hire an associate
Can't for the life of me think of another reason you would need Polish to build up clientele. Most have been to school and can speak English pretty well and will contact you to brush up on their speaking skills.
