Details
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)

Working with Wojtek was more than a pleasure. He spent with us longer than half a year. He taught English mostly to individual students. He was always well prepared for lessons, engaged, always punctual. The students loved the lessons with him. I got the impression that Wojtek is a very mature person.

Equally nice was having the opportunity to connect with so many motivated students wanting to learn English! My interactions with… 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.
