Description
We are a language school in Poland. We need workawayers who would be willing to teach conversational English.

We are located in Kolobrzeg (in German: Kolberg), a city in north-western Poland with some 47,000 inhabitants (as of 2014). Kołobrzeg is located on the south coast of the Baltic Sea (in the middle of the section divided by the Oder and Vistula Rivers). It has been the capital of Kołobrzeg County since 1999.
Kołobrzeg today is a popular tourist destination for Poles, Germans and Danish people. It provides a unique combination of a seaside resort, health resort, an old town full of historic monuments and tourist entertainment options.

We provide workawayers with:
- Accommodations: room, kitchen and bathroom in comfortable apartment
- Access to Internet
- Books, CD players and other aids necessary for teaching
- Teacher’s training
- Stipend (it will be enough to buy food and basic goods for yourself)

I worked here for almost 5 months and the experience was really good, they legitimately try to make you feel comfortable and integrated within the community.

The town is rather calm and tidy until summer arrives and not as cold as northern europe seems to be, but cold enough that it's challenging to go into the nice lock beach, with many stores… read more

Tom reached out to me through Workaway and asked if I would be interested in teaching English in Kolobrzeg. At the beginning, I was unsure as I wasn't confident being a non-native English speaking teacher. So I’m really grateful that Tom convinced me to take the challenge as it turns out to be a wonderful experience.

It has been wonderful to learn about Polish culture. I am leaving many friends there. They helped me from the first moment I got there, I felt at home. The work is very flexible, there are weeks that you have to work very few hours and other weeks that you have to work more. The students are generally very good and always want to learn more.… read more

I already knew Tom was a very reliable and kind person before we met. There was a delay on my arrival caused by an accident and he could still managed to pick me up at the train station very late at night.

I spend three unforgettable weeks teaching in Kołobrzeg. It felt like home away from home and I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful experience on my first Workaway. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure that I had an enjoyable time in Poland. Thank you to Tom and family/friends, Jowita and all the enthusiastic students.

Although I didn't have a position at the school per se, I was given an assignment that had me living with a student in her home. It was just the type of cultural exchange situation I had been hoping for. I basically chatted in English throughout the day with my host, who was looking for conversational practice. In exchange, I learned the gist of… read more
