TESOL Gdansk

/in /by

Gdansk Waterfront

Gdansk is very different from other Polish cities because it has a rich maritime history that dates back to the 7th century.

Poland has experienced many drastic changes throughout the 20th century, but its most beautiful sites remain the Town Hall, the Medieval Port, the Main Town (Reconstructed after WWII), and the Green Gate.

As Poland moved towards capitalism in the early 1990’s, Gdansk has attracted major IT and finance businesses to an economy that has been majorly dominated by industries in the energy and shipbuilding sectors. As a result, the demand for teachers with a reputable TESOL certificate has been on the rise. Poland is one of the few European countries that welcomes native-English speakers who do not have a EU citizenship, and is especially welcoming to TESOL graduates from Canada and USA.

Barcelona is situated near Spain’s border with France. Famous for its night life, beautiful architecture, friendly people, and beautiful Mediterranean beaches, Barcelona is a great place to teach English.

Experience the wonderful architecture of Antoni Gaudi. Seven of his eccentric buildings have been named World Heritage sites. La Sagrada Familia has been under construction since 1882 and it might take another 30 to complete. Park Guell, originally an unsuccessful housing complex, delights tourists and artists who take the afternoon to walk through the gardens. Casa Mila, Casa Batilo, and Casa Vicents are some of the imposing family mansions that Gaudi built for the local aristocracy between 1880 and 1912.

If you love the game of football, you cannot miss a game of the Barcelona Club of football, which has won the European Champions league 3 times in the past 5 years. Superstars like Maradona, Ronaldinho, and Messi have worn the ‘bluegrana’ jersey.

Barcelona is a popular destination for British TESOL teachers because of the lifestyle, warm weather, and especially because a EU passport is required work legally in Spain. Most schools ask for an advanced TESOL certificate such as TESL Canada, Trinity CertTESOL, or CELTA.

Constantly marching ahead, forward and forward, never to stop and just hurry; South Korea is a complex and yet a fascinating country with wonders at every nook and corner and technology spurting out at an ever-increasing pace. Energy and joie de vivre of Seoul, ancientness of Gyeongju, bustling port town of Busan, South Korea is an adventurous land set for ESL teachers to discover the rich cultural heritage and wonders of Renaissance and have a great experience.

The roads to the countryside are still less traveled by; for good or for worse. Composed temples, beautiful mountains, unspoiled fishing villages and endless hiking opportunities are still awaiting any Westerners that rarely ever come to this path. Travel to the unspoiled islands of Dadohae Haesang National Park or the charming Buyeo for its historic relics of Baekje and lively market.

High wages and great living conditions make South Korea the top destination for teaching English. Native speakers who completed their university degree and a reputable 100-hour TESOL course, but don’t have any prior teaching experience, earn $2,100/month plus accommodation, bonuses, and other benefits.
