ESL Teacher for Kids Native Speaker

Native English Teacher for Kids & Teens – Radwanice (Wrocław area), afternoons

From 85 PLN net per teaching hour · In person, afternoons Mon–Fri · B2B via business incubator (no need to set up your own business)

Many children in Poland study English at school for years and still freeze when someone actually speaks to them. They’ve done the grammar, the worksheets and the tests. Nobody gave them the chance to talk.

We started Effective English to change that. Children speak English. Not someday. Now.

We want children to love coming to English: to run into the classroom, not be dragged there. We want every child to leave every lesson having said something themselves: a full sentence, out loud, on their own.

We want to teach English so that it becomes a tool children use, not an obstacle — so they never have to shrink their dreams to the size of their English.

A language school for children and teenagers aged 6–18 in Radwanice, running since 2017. Small groups of 4–8 students. No coursebooks.

We’re a small, growing team that talks openly about what’s working and what isn’t, admits mistakes, and keeps getting better at teaching children.

We’re not looking for “the next teacher”. We’re looking for people who want to build this with us.

• You enjoy preparing lessons, and you keep asking yourself: how can I make this more fun?
• A child gives you one word and you hand it straight back as a full sentence for them to say.
• You look at a “difficult” child and see a child who hasn’t been reached yet. You look for a way to bring them in, not a label to put on them.
• You push children to do their best, and they can feel you’re on their side.
• You want to be a better teacher next month than you are today.
• You’d teach the same lesson with the same energy whether or not anyone’s watching.

• You want to teach from a coursebook, from behind a desk, or with minimal prep.
• Your main tool for managing a class is warnings and punishments.
• You’re looking for online or remote work.
• You don’t really enjoy working with children.

If you’ve ever taught privately, you know the lesson is only half the job. The other half is arranging things with parents, rescheduling, cancellations, chasing payments and doing invoices.

Here, your energy goes into the classroom:

• We find the students and build the schedule.
• Our office handles contracts with parents, day-to-day messages and payments.
• The business incubator handles your invoicing.
• Lesson plans are ready for you. No building lessons from scratch in the evenings.
• You’re never alone with a difficult group. Every Friday we go through students and lessons together.

• 85 PLN net per teaching hour to start.
• About 16–17 teaching hours a week to start, with more groups as the school grows.
• Team meetings (about 2.5 hours a week) and student feedback are paid on top. (pay is different than for teaching hours)
• In a full teaching month, that’s roughly 6,000–6,700 PLN net, for afternoon work only.
• We’ll be upfront: months with school holidays, such as Christmas or winter break, have fewer lessons.

Everyone starts at Junior, and your rate goes up with each level:

• Junior – everyone starts here.
• Core – you meet our standard reliably.
• Senior – you can train and mentor other teachers.
• Elite – you set the standard; your lessons become the reference for the team.

• Teach small groups in the afternoons, using our school’s lesson plans.
• Have your materials ready before the first child walks in.
• Notice who didn’t speak, and go back to them before the lesson ends.
• Take ownership of your students’ progress and raise problems early.
• Write short weekly feedback on your students.
• Come to our weekly Friday meeting.
