Hi,

I recently got in contact with Accent Language School, Krakow. Does anyone have any info (good or bad) regarding this school?

Many Thanks

Good school, nice friendly people. As with most schools, you won't get rich working there.

Thanks for the above. I had an interview with Director of Studies who advised that I would be starting out on 20 classes per week. She advised of a pay rate between 45 - 60 Z per class (gross) depending on experience (I am a newbie!). No accommodation will be included. Is this a good/bad offer relative to other existing schools within Krakow?

Bad!! You should be getting 1/zl a minute net!

[maniak]

[lundjstuart]

Yeah!!

[maniak]

So how much are experienced teachers making, 80zl/hr? 100zl/hr?

[lundjstuart]

Maniak,

I was making 1/zl a minute when I was a fresh teacher here!

If you're a good teacher, then why not sell yourself for more? You are only limiting your opportunities here in Poland by not charging a higher rate!

lundjstuart have you always lived in Warsaw? Wages are a little lower in Krakow...

[lundjstuart]

Yes, I have only taught in Warsaw.

Who cares about Krakow's wages? The questions was about a new teacher, nothing about where you live!

Hi All,

Thanks for the above info.

I was however referring to wages relative to schools in Krakow. If Warsaw is 1 Zl net per min for a newbie then what should I be expecting in Krakow?

Many Thanks

About one and a third grosze per second gross is an average starting point in Krakow.

[Marquess]

When I worked in Poland in the nineties real wages were double that.

[socky]

So the average wage for a newbie starting out is 1 1/3 zl gross per minute??
