I have taught English for seven years in three different countries; the United States, Thailand and Poland. Blue Pencil ranks among the top schools I have worked at in terms of camaraderie and having a positive workplace environment. There are lots of social events for teachers, so it’s easy to make friends and have a great time. You will also get support from the school when it comes to teaching your class.
If your an English Teacher and apprehensive about moving to Poland, I would absolutely encourage you to work at Blue Pencil and experience life in the Phoenix City - Warsaw.
I had the privilege of teaching at Blue Pencil for a year and a half, and I must say it was a fantastic experience!
The management team at Blue Pencil is highly supportive, fostering a collaborative and welcoming environment for both teachers and students. Whenever I needed assistance, whether it was creating resources or clarifying a grammar point, Marcin and Ola were always there to support me!
As a teacher, I had access to continuous training and valuable resources, which significantly enhanced my teaching skills and techniques. We had a week of training in September and I definitely saw a difference.
Furthermore, the sense of community at Blue Pencil is truly special. The school organizes events and activities that forge lasting connections among students and staff. I will miss our monthly Freaky Friday meet ups and the trip to the alpaca farm is now a core memory.
Blue Pencil offers a top-notch language learning experience. I highly recommend it to both educators and students looking for a supportive and enriching environment to learn and grow. Thank you, Blue Pencil, for a wonderful teaching experience!

The school owner and staff are extremely dedicated and show a high level of care for their teachers. The same applies to the students, who receive a very personal service. If you're looking for a trustworthy and professional school with a close-knit group of teachers, then I'd absolutely recommend Blue Pencil.
