I've been here in Warsawa for the past three years and each year keeps getting better and better! There is a HUGE market here for qualified English teachers so if anybody is interested in relocating to Warsawa but have some doubts feel free to ask!

Welcome, Emily. I know it varies from country to country so what does "qualified English teachers" mean in Warsawa?

Eric,
Typically most schools are looking for someone who has a degree and a TEFL/TESOL Certificate or an equivilant certificate. But, I have heard of schools who hire teachers without certification but with teaching experience, how many years varies from school to school. Then there are the schools who will hire any native speaker who walks through the door!
Here's the address of an online group of English teachers in Poland, they often have job listings and other useful information like Visa requirements and stuff: polang-jobs@yahoogroups.com
Good Luck, Emily
PS There's a bit of snobbery here about British English vs American English so if you're British you're in luck!

[Eric]

That's good to know though I might not have as much luck as others...

Also, thanks for the link. Very useful!

Hello Emily,

Are you originally from Europe? What is it like living in Poland? I'm from Canada, have never been to Europe, am getting a bit tired of Asia and your enthusiasm about Warsaw has got me interested...

Thanks,
Karen
