Most schools in Poland don’t “sponsor visas” in the way teachers expect. English Wizards exists to bridge that gap with a clear legal pathway + a job search system built specifically for the Polish ESL market.
Here’s what you do:
You can start self-guided with the platform, or add done-with-you support like Arrival Essentials, Orientation Week, or application-based placement services.
Search 8,600+ schools across Poland with filters for city, student ages, and school type, plus full contact details so you can apply with precision.
That means less guessing, fewer dead-end applications, and a clearer shortlist of schools that match what you actually want to teach.
Included inside the platform: database + outreach templates + hiring-season guidance so you know who to contact, when, and what to say.
No guessing. You get a clear job hunt system, legal pathway guidance, and step-by-step checklists so you can move forward with confidence.
You’ll know exactly what to do next at each stage: profile setup, outreach, interviews, offer review, then relocation steps based on your pathway.
It’s built for Poland, not generic “teach abroad” advice.
Not sure where you fit? Book a consultation first.
If you already know your goal, apply once and choose the pathway you want. After review, you’ll receive your acceptance decision, your recommended route, and the correct payment links.
Direct employment, JDG, and incubator contracts aren’t “pick whatever you want” options. The right choice depends on your passport, your timeline, and what schools offer.
Many teachers start self-guided with the platform, then choose the pathway that matches their offer and eligibility. Switching can be possible later, but only with real constraints. Details are in the FAQ.
Placement services are application-based. Partner schools have strict preferences, and places are limited.
You apply once. If you qualify, you’ll receive an invitation with the correct options.
We work with schools nationwide. Preferences matter, but flexibility makes hiring faster and smoother.
Most teachers come to Poland for a mix of Europe access, lower living costs, and a real work-life balance. The job market is active, but it’s not “automatic” unless you’re eligible for placement services.

Important reality:
Don’t guess. Use the calculator to sanity-check offers and build a realistic budget before you commit.
If you want the full breakdown, the Welcome Center also includes a detailed relocation cost guide: view the guide.
These are rough ranges and will vary by city, season, and store.
Yes. Installment plans are available for select packages. If you’re approved, you’ll see eligible options when you receive your payment links.
One of three: Direct Employment (you sign with the school), Direct B2B via JDG (you invoice as a sole trader), or B2B via an Incubator (you invoice through an incubator partner). We help you choose the correct route for your passport and offer type.
Sometimes, yes. It depends on your passport, your legal status in Poland, and what contract your school offers. We’ll tell you what’s possible for your situation and what steps (and costs) would be involved.
Yes, you can set preferences. If you use the platform-only route, you choose where you apply. If you’re eligible for placement services, preferences are considered but not guaranteed. Flexibility usually means faster results.
Krakow.
Yes. Schools always make the final decision. We prepare you and streamline the process, but interviews are part of hiring.
The guarantee is tied to the Job Guarantee package and its published terms. Schools still choose, and interviews are always required. If you meet the requirements and we can’t deliver within the terms, the refund policy applies. Visa and residence outcomes are never guaranteed.
Most roles are private language schools, kindergartens/preschools, and private or international schools. Public schools and universities often require additional credentials and sometimes Polish proficiency.
Many language schools run around 8–9 months. Year-round roles are more common in kindergartens, preschools, and higher-end schools. Contract length depends on the school type and offer. Those that do not have a full year of work can either enjoy European travels or take a summer camp teaching position.
Yes. Apply separately. If you relocate together, Arrival Essentials covers up to 3 people. Matching cities can be included, but the same schools are never guaranteed.
Sometimes, yes. It depends on your passport and which legal pathway applies. Some consulate and visa rules depend on where you’re legally resident, so we’ll confirm what’s realistic for you.
A bachelor’s is not the baseline requirement. You must have completed secondary education. Some schools prefer degrees, so it can affect competitiveness.
To be accepted, you’ll need a recognized TEFL/CELTA/TESOL (or equivalent). You can enroll and complete a TEFL with English Wizards; enroll here. If you’re unsure what qualifies, book a consultation and we’ll clarify what you need.
Yes. 1+ year relevant experience is required for acceptance. Strong transferable experience may be considered if you can clearly prove it.
All passports can apply. The difference is which legal pathway is realistic, and whether you can access placement services right away. Geo-politics for non-visa-free passport holders should be considered before making a decision.
There’s no single fixed age rule. Schools hire based on fit and professionalism.
Non-native speakers can be accepted if you demonstrate native-level fluency in your intro video. Proof of high-level English ability helps, but your communication matters most.
Summer can be slower for some language schools. Summer camps exist, but you must already have the legal right to work in Poland. Year-round roles are more common in certain school types.
It depends on your pathway. Direct employment means payroll taxes are handled by the employer. B2B routes involve invoicing and compliance. We provide the correct guidance for your route and add-ons if you want it handled. This isn’t tax advice. For more detailed information, see our work options comparison document or salary negotiation calculator. If you require even more detail, please book a consultation.
This program is built around ESL. If you have qualifications for other subjects, mention it in your application or consultation.
Possibly. Classrooms vary by city and school. There’s no single “typical” student mix.
You can still join the program. You can take Arrival Essentials instead, follow the self-guided arrival setup in the platform, or join a later Orientation Week date if it fits.
Some employers offer limited help, but most do not. Plan your move assuming you cover relocation costs unless an offer explicitly states otherwise.
Preferences are considered, but it’s not guaranteed. Flexibility increases speed and placement likelihood.
In many cases, yes. If your main plan is studying, a study-based route may fit better long-term. If that’s your goal, mention it in your application or consultation.
We review your application and intro video. You’ll receive an acceptance decision with the correct pathway recommendation and the correct payment links. If placement services are a fit, you’ll be invited to those options as well.
