See the Qualified RoutesHow package value is calculated
Planning assumptions: accommodation uses the monthly market value entered by the school. Private medical cover is estimated at 250 PLN per covered month. Multisport, fitness or an equivalent benefit is estimated at 300 PLN per covered month.
Only written guarantees count. Variable hours, attendance or discretionary bonuses, theoretical classes and the 5,000 PLN commitment security are excluded.

Clear English communication is part of qualification. The recruitment brief and all EW-managed recruitment communication remain in English. If a school cannot work with English Wizards in English, it is not yet ready to manage and care for a foreign teacher living and working in Poland.

School-Supported Graduate Route
EW may recruit a fresh TEFL or CELTA graduate with the right education, professional attitude and personality fit, but little to no classroom experience. The school, not EW, commits to train and develop them through documented, hands-on support.
- At least 48,000 PLN guaranteed annual net value across the full academic year
- Private medical and MultiSport / fitness cover included in writing
- School-led induction, lesson observation, mentoring and teacher development
- A named person at the school responsible for that support
- The same 5,000 PLN teacher commitment security

Fix the Risk Before Paying for Recruitment
Unstable hours, inadequate income and last-minute changes make withdrawal, early resignation and repeat hiring more likely. That is avoidable business risk, not a recruitment problem.
Use EW’s free platform and educational resources while the school strengthens the offer. Manual EW recruitment is not available on this path.

Commitment goes both ways
Schools Should Not Change the Deal. Teachers Should Not Disappear.
The School Commits
5,000 PLN is placed with EW before the teacher carries major travel, housing and immigration costs.
EW Aligns the Hire
Offer, contract, expectations, timing, immigration route and arrival are aligned before the move.
The Teacher Starts
The security becomes a potential completion bonus governed by the written commitment terms.
Teacher completion or teacher default5,000 PLN security – 375 PLN processing and currency deduction= 4,625 PLN to the teacher or school
Teacher completes: 4,625 PLN is paid to the teacher.
Teacher defaults: 4,625 PLN returns to the school.
School withdraws or materially changes the offer: The full 5,000 PLN commitment security is used to cover costs incurred by the teacher as a result of the school’s breach.
Read the detailed commitment conditions
A foreign teacher may commit money, documents, housing plans, travel and an academic year of their life. A school needs protection from a teacher who does not arrive, resigns or fails to fulfil the agreed contract. The exact trigger, evidence and recipient rules are governed by the written EW commitment terms agreed before recruitment begins.
A material change is any school-initiated change, omission or delay that could reasonably affect the teacher’s decision to accept the position, relocate, incur costs, begin work or remain committed to the role. This includes changes to guaranteed salary, paid months, hours, benefits, contract type, employing entity, duties, location, schedule, academic-year dates, probation, notice, termination, repayment, liability, exclusivity, immigration arrangements or any contract term that materially conflicts with the approved written offer. It also includes failing to provide a matching contract by the agreed deadline or delaying the start date beyond the tolerance stated in the written commitment terms.
A change is not treated as material when both the teacher and EW knowingly approve it in writing before it takes effect.
PIP and employment-contract legal review identifies issues in the proposed arrangement. Regulatory, immigration and employment outcomes remain dependent on the applicable facts, documents and authorities.
The bigger business decision
Recruitment Cannot Save a School Without a Business Strategy.
Growth, succession, acquisition or exit: choose deliberately. If revenue fails to outpace inflation and the business has no succession or exit plan, stability is an illusion. It is decline in real terms.
Approximately 14,000 fewer than in 2024.
Concerning proposed closure or transformation of public schools and preschools.
The closure figure concerns the public education system. EW uses it as a demographic signal, not as a private language-school closure count.
Free Business Strategy Guidance: Growth, Sale or Both
Growth strategy: Build clearer positioning, revenue growth above inflation, stronger teacher retention and operations that do not depend entirely on the owner.
Succession, sale or acquisition readiness: Create documented financials, transferable systems, reduced owner dependency and a business another operator can understand and value.
Growth and exit optionality: Grow now while preserving the ability to sell, acquire another school, hand over leadership or step away later.
