For anyone seeking a low-key place to work, someplace where you won't be exploited, overworked, living in a hovel, or fending off your students with a ruler:
Global Village in Kielce is an outstanding school. My directors are professional, personable, helpful, and speak lovely Queen's English. I teach about twenty hours a week, but I could work more if I so desired. I'm paid relatively well: 40 zloty per 45-minute lesson. My coworkers really enjoy their jobs. My only complaint thus far is that Kielce, as compared to Daegu, South Korea, is a sleepy town where there is little/no debauchery worth getting into. I might be wrong about that, though.
I haven't decided whether I'll be sticking around much longer, but if you're looking to take it easy, teach a bit of English, and read a lot of old Russian novels in your free time, Global Village is your school.

(This isn't an advertisement. I'm just very pleased with my dumb luck.)

Dobrze.

I described what I perceive to be a very positive working environment at my school in Kielce. I also implied (in kind language) that Kielce is a rather drab place. There you have it. There is a chance that I am some private language institute cyborg in disguise trying to con disillusioned twentysomethings out of their fleeting youth and, indeed, that sort of thing happens often enough. But why must we assume that two paragraphs of relative optimism are a commercial? And if we do assume that, what is the point of this forum?

In 1995 I came a cross the Global Village lot. They came to the International Teaching and Training Centre in Bournemouth and the rep was a Gosia something- or- other. I remember her offering me a job, which I declined because the town did indeed look sleepy. Heard then that it was a good school though.
