Does anyone know of good places to place advertisements for teachers?
Dave's doesn't really fit with the kind of person that we want, and TES is hideously expensive - money that we would rather spend on equipment. |

| I have some experience of looking for self-employed teachers to work for/with me...and gumtree has been the best bet on my budget...which sounds similar to yours. |

| You can put it on my website www.teachingenglishinpoland.com if you wish, free of charge, it's getting quite a large audience at the moment. |

Just head down to the local watering hole and collar every native speakers you hear.
Make sure you've got plenty of shine on your shoes and fancy-pants business cards with them sticky-up letters on 'em to give out.
Make them an offer they can't refuse. Soon, you'll have yourself a fine specimen of a teacher by the short and curlies.
Oh, and tefl.com isn't bad. It's how I found my first job. Only two Poland jobs on there now so not much competition.  |

| I have been surprised at TEFL.com's consistency of late. They are fast-becoming the leading general place to look due to their organization and ability to set news-feeds. |

| I found the nativespeaker site to be extremely helpful. Helped me with two jobs at respectable schools, a voice-over gig and a small part on TV. |
