TESOL Gdansk

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.

TESOL St. Petersburg

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.
