Hello everyone,

I know this kind of post has been done to death, but I thought I'd give it another go for myself. I am interested in living in a major Polish city working in ESL. I have been working as an ESL teacher for almost two years, mainly at Berlitz and a little on my own as well. I have a TEFL and University degree. My first choice was Krakow but from what I've read already the place is filled with English speakers along with Warsaw. I don't know much about the job markets in Poznan or Gdansk. If anyone could point in the right direction or if they have a lead I could follow it would be most appreciated. I am also open to working as something else, though I have a humanities degree and I doubt that will get me far. Also: I've reached A2 proficiency level in Polish, but its been so long since I really used it that it might take a few weeks in Poland before it is near that level again.

Thanks for the advice/help

'Teachers, like students, are never too old to learn.' If you're thinking about teaching abroad, I would definitely recommend this blog.
