A heads up here:

Shady little operation with an even shadier "owner" A horrible little husband and wife team.You can see the broomstick between the legs of the wife.

They ripped my wife off and didn't pay her the 1287zl she was owed for October.

Shady contracts and in general a place to avoid if you're living in the region.

People expect me to remain positive when dives like this exist to cheat good,honest people.

I've got my lawyer looking into this.

The funniest thing is that my wife was their best teacher and the "head teacher" but when she started up her own company last month,they took exception to this and refused to pay her salary even though she gave them 1 months notice that she was leaving!!!!

Dupeks!

Yes,it's a private little Callan knock-off school located in Sosnowiec down here in the Silesia region.Small place with 3 little classrooms.The "owners" run it as side job.

The sad part is my wife has been working there part-time for the past 2 years and she was the best teacher in the joint.I think there are about 8 teachers there in total.

She went out of her way to help these owners but taking last minute substitute classes,going out with 10 mins notice to business classes.Hosting one by one lessons in our house,changing her schedule constantly to meet their demands. etc etc.

Later she finds out a couple of new teachers with no experience, were being paid more per hour than she was!

The owner siad it was because my wife had the most classes...WTF?

In typical Polish fashion when it comes to money,expect no friends in the end.

Anyway........stay away from the place.The contract you will be expected to sign is not worth the paper it's printed on.
