ESL tutors in Poland

4 tutors

English tutors working in Poland, listed free. Everyone on this page chose to be here and confirmed their own details, and you contact them through a form on this site rather than getting a phone number to cold call.

What tutoring costs

Private English lessons in Poland generally run somewhere around 80 to 150 złoty an hour, with business English and exam coaching at the higher end and conversation practice at the lower. Online lessons are often a little cheaper than in-person, and tutors in Warsaw tend to charge more than those in smaller cities. Those are rough market ranges rather than fixed prices, so treat a tutor’s own rate as the real one.

How to pick one

Look for a qualification that matches what you need rather than the most impressive-sounding one. A CELTA or DELTA is a serious teaching qualification. A 120-hour TEFL certificate is the normal baseline for language school work. For exam preparation, ask specifically whether the tutor has prepared students for your exam, not just whether they teach at your level.

Ask for a trial lesson, and ask what happens between lessons: the tutors who get results usually set something to do in the week and check it.

Online or in person

Most tutors here offer both, and the right answer depends less on preference than on what you are working towards. For exam preparation and business English, online is usually fine and widens your choice enormously, because you are no longer limited to people who can reach you. For young children, for absolute beginners, and for anyone who needs the appointment in the diary to actually turn up, in person tends to work better. If you are in Warsaw, Kraków or Wrocław you will find both easily. Outside the larger cities, online is often the only realistic way to find a tutor who specialises in what you need.

What we do and do not do

We check every profile by hand before it goes live, and we may ask a tutor to show us a certificate. That is a basic check, not an endorsement. JimmyESL does not vet, employ, background-check or guarantee anyone listed here, and we take no commission and handle no payments. You agree terms, times and prices directly with the tutor.

If you are arranging lessons for a child, sit in on the first one. Never send money or documents to someone you have not verified.

How tuition requests work in Poland

  1. A student or parent posts what they need. Level, goal, whether they want lessons online or in person, and roughly what they can pay.
  2. We publish it anonymously. The listing shows the level, the area and the kind of lessons wanted. It does not show a name, an email, a phone number or an address, and a request from a parent about a child says so without identifying the child.
  3. Tutors reply through the board. The reply reaches the person who posted; their address is never handed out, and they choose whether to answer.

What we will not do

We do not copy tutor profiles or student enquiries from other sites. Every person listed here asked to be. That means this side of the board fills up more slowly than one built from scraped profiles, and it means nobody finds themselves advertised here without having agreed to it.

Paying a tutor

Rates vary far too much by country, level and whether lessons are online to quote a figure honestly, and we would rather say so than invent a range. Agree the rate, the cancellation terms and how you will pay before the first lesson, and be wary of anyone asking for a large block of lessons up front.

Common questions

How much do private English lessons cost in Poland?

Generally somewhere around 80 to 150 zu0142oty an hour, with business English and exam coaching at the upper end and conversation practice at the lower. Online lessons are often a little cheaper than in-person, and Warsaw costs more than smaller cities. Those are market ranges rather than fixed prices, so treat the rate on a tutor’s own profile as the real one.

Should I choose a native speaker?

Not automatically. A native speaker without a teaching qualification is often worse value than a trained Polish teacher of English, particularly for beginners, grammar and exam preparation, where being able to explain a rule in Polish is an advantage rather than a compromise. Native speakers come into their own for fluency, accent work and confidence at higher levels. Pick for the job you need doing.

What qualifications should I look for?

A CELTA or DELTA is a serious teaching qualification and the DELTA is the harder of the two. A 120-hour TEFL certificate is the normal baseline for language school work. For exam preparation, the question to ask is not whether a tutor teaches at your level but whether they have prepared students for your specific exam, because Cambridge, IELTS and matura all reward different things.

How do I know a tutor is any good before I pay?

Ask for a trial lesson, and ask what happens between lessons. The tutors who get results set something to do in the week and then check it. A tutor who only talks for an hour and books the next slot is selling you conversation practice, which is fine if that is what you want and poor value if you needed structure.

Online or in person?

It depends less on preference than on what you are working towards. For exam preparation and business English, online is usually fine and widens your choice enormously, because you are no longer limited to people who can reach you. For young children, absolute beginners, and anyone who needs the appointment in the diary to actually turn up, in person tends to work better. In Warsaw, Kraku00f3w or Wrocu0142aw you will find both easily; outside the larger cities, online is often the only way to find a tutor who specialises in what you need.
