Were all your answers positive?

Chances are we are looking for you

We believe that great and passionate teachers have a huge positive impact on kids and their future.

Would you also like to be part of that?

Before you answer, we want to be clear with one thing: if you are looking for a side hussle just to get some extra cash, then think twice. We have very high expectations towards ourselves and everybody who joins our team. Educating children requires a lot of effort and committment on teacher’s side. If you know that you will not be able to offer that – stop reading.

A few words about Effective English…

We decided to open Effective English School because we believe that high quality education is key for kids success. Our mission is to empower children to use English with confidence so they never have to lower their expectations just because they cannot speak English. The quote that we always have at the back of our heads when we teach is: „tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn”. We are always on the search for new ways of engaging kids so they achieve amazing results.

Mira Laskowska, the founder of Effective English, has been teaching kids for almost two decades. This gave her a great expertise in education which she loves to share with teachers that join the team. She has been very successful in delivering the promise of Effective English education. Many of her students (some of them still continue their journey with Effective English) already got a very good command of English even though they are still in elementary school!

What kind of team are we?

Passionate, goal driven with loads of positive energy. We treat one another like family members because we believe that great atmosphere at work influences our mindset and growth in a beneficial way.

What will be your responsibilties?

Your job will be to teach English during 60-minute lessons according to our motto: ‘involve kids and they will learn’. Of course, we will provide appropriate training to help you do that. You will read books with kids, sing songs, dance, act, play with kids and do different projects that we will plan for together. The groups are rather small, 5-6 kids which will help you to focus on individual needs of the students. Most lessons will be scheduled for afternoon and evening and all of them will be carried out in Radwanice, a calm village just 8 km away from Wrocław city centre.

We teach differently. What does it mean?

There are no coursebooks and no tests. Instead we want to involve kids in art and crafts projects, drama, cooking workshops and plenty of games. Kids will be immersed in English throughout the whole lesson in which case the focus of the lesson will not be English but the project or a song or a book. Students will acquire English as a side effect of whatever we do in the classroom, because each activity will require communication
