Poland is part of eastern Europe and it’s on the Baltic coast. It’s got a rich history and there’s plenty to see and do in your free time. There’s a high demand for TEFL qualified teachers in Poland.  But, If you decide to teach English as a foreign language in Poland and you’re not from an EEC country, you will need a university degree to get a work permit. The degree will have to be translated and notarised.

Salaries are about average. You probably won’t be able to save if you work in Poland, but you should be able to live comfortably. Wages are around $600 to $1000 a month. Most TEFL teachers find it cheaper to share an apartment with a colleague away from the centre of the city.

Poland is a large country, so there are various locations you can choose to teach English as a foreign language.
