The school employs around 150 Polish teachers and 25 full-time native speakers of English, concentrating on English, German and Italian tuition. We are currently looking for experienced and innovative teachers with the enthusiasm and creativity to present highly effective and original lessons.
All PROFI-LINGUA schools offer classes Monday to Friday beginning in the late afternoon and ending around 8.30 pm (and for some teachers Saturday 8.00 am ๑ 2.30 pm). Each 80 minute class has a maximum of 15 students, usually under-graduates and young professionals aged between 18-35. Levels range from Beginner to Proficiency level, although the native-speakers usually teach only higher and Cambridge examination levels in partnership with a Polish teacher. Photocopying and audio-visual equipment is freely available and there is a teaching resources library in each branch. The contract runs from mid-October to mid-June.
As a country Poland offers a comprehensive and cheap transport network (both nationally and internationally) with easy access to cities renowned for their architecture and history (Krakow, Wroclaw, Gdansk) and protected national parks encompassing lakes, mountains and forests (Tatry, Pieniny, Karkonosze, Mazury). Seventy-five per cent of our international teachers stay for a second or third year and are offered the option of transferring between branches.
Applicants who fulfil all of the criteria should apply by e-mail with a full CV/resume detailing professional experience and a cover letter outlining their skills. Successful applicants will be sent full details concerning the school, renumeration package (currently the most competitive in Poland) and further application requirements.
