Description
Hi! I’m Joanna. I’m running a small education center in the south-west of Poland in Szklarska Poręba (near the Czech Republic). I’m looking for workawayers who would like to come and share some knowledge about their culture. I want my students to meet new people from around the world. From my personal experience I know, this is the best way to encounter the reality of life in a different country and learn to respect others. Kids come here every day and learn English. We are still developing. My center is located in the mountains and has a spectacular view. If you decide to come here, you will have an impact on children and their development. If you have a unique skill that you can teach, you are most welcome to share it with us. This experience is for people who love kids.
Currently, our main goal is to teach very practical English. Szklarska Poręba is a small city, where you can hike, ski and enjoy nature. If you want to explore the Karkonosze Mountain, you can do it in your free time.
I can offer an accommodation - a small apartment in the same building. Our cottage is 300 years old and it is considered to be a national heritage.
Additionally, if you have experience in teaching English, I can offer minimal wage for teaching independent lessons.
Requirements for teachers:
- clean criminal record
- outstanding review from your previous boss
- IELTS / TEFL certificate or equivalent
- reliability
Our offer:
- accommodation
- minimal wage / or higher if you have a lot of experience and provide high quality lessons
- catering - lunch will be provided
