I may start working for Berlitz Warsow and I understood that they cannot guarantee a minimum number of classes per month. Can anyone who works / worked there tell me how it normally goes? Can you earn enough every month to make a living?
And there is another question. As I am a non EU citizen and it takes a while to get the residence permit, where/how can I find cheap accommodation? Any help is appreciated! Thanks a lot!

Berlitz Warsaw teachers can (just about) make enough to live on. But they always look really tired. And as for the work permit thing, do I take it that they've said they can't pay you until it's arranged? That isn't strictly true...............

No, I haven't gone through their training but before I do I want to get the feel of what it's like to work for the school.

And we haven't really discussed the visa thing. Could you tell me more about how it goes?

I think the biggest problem for me would be accommodation before getting the permit. Is there any other option except hostels?

im also thinking of joining berliz warsaw! this september near mokotow! im not so much bothered about the training but the money they mentioned was almost comical! at least i think so! maybe warsaw is saturated with english teachers so the pay can be so low but im not so sure.
Im lucky and have accomodation in warsaw through a friend, but if you can manage to get hold of the newspapers while you're here there are always flats etc up for rent!
What i saw you can pay around 800pln a month

You don't need a permit to get accommodation. It ain't North Korea. You simply find somewhere and move in.
