The cost of living is reasonable in Poland

Expect to work 15 to 25 hours per week of classroom teaching, in addition to prep time and light administrative work such as marking written coursework. The schedule itself will be mostly afternoon and early evening hours, with the occasional mornings for teaching “in-company” classes. You’ll be paid a similar pay rate to your local colleagues, varying between 5000 and 10,000 PLN per month (€1,200 – €2,200), depending on the job and how many hours you’re teaching. The national average monthly salary for an English teacher is approximately 7,500 PLN (€1,700).
