Teaching Jobs in Slovakia

Most people think Slovakia is in Eastern Europe, but it is actually in the heart of Central Europe, so it is easy to get to both Western and Eastern Europe. English is a requirement for secondary students so private language schools are everywhere. As a teacher, you will love teaching in Slovakia because of the students desire to learn English. Since it is an extremely important language for them, they are attentive and interested in everything and anything that comes from English speaking countries. Make sure you know your native country's history because you will be quizzed about it!

Locations

Bratislava, the capital, is the best location for teaching in private schools. The largest and most cosmopolitan city in Slovakia, it has a population of over 500,000. There are many universities, museums, restaurants, and the well known Slovak National Theatre. Many Europeans come to Bratislava to hear opera because it is relatively inexpensive when compared to Vienna, but with the same talent and social acumen. Bratislava is best known for the castle that sits atop a hill overlooking the city. It was the residence of Queen Sissi, the Austro-Hungarian queen, and she loved to spend her time outside of Vienna in the castle.

Piestany. This resort town is home to 25,000 and is about an hour northeast of Bratislava. Piestany is a very popular town known for its thermal waters and was visited by wealthy Russians and German in its day. Today, it is less frequented, but the waters still flow and attract many visitors to its many spas. There are several English language schools and it is a good choice for teaching in Slovakia if you want a smaller town experience.

Insider tip: Stick to cities where you can get to larger cities fairly easily. 

Smaller cities, like Trencin, have less expensive accommodations and food; but they also offer less teaching opportunities, and options for entertainment and English speaking clubs. As a medium sized city of approximately 70,000, Trencin is home to the national army. It was the main target point in the invasion of Slovakia by the Russians in 1968. As such, it has many important historical monuments, but the main attraction is the 11th century castle. It is a good location for nature lovers because it offers easy access to hiking.
