English Wizards

When I went looking for teaching programs in Poland that would sponsor a work permit and visa for native speakers, the options were limited. I was fortunate enough to come across English Wizards, which was a newer teaching program at the time. The program does not charge for its services and allowed me to to find my own job in the city of my choice.

English Wizards provided a lot of assistance with my work permit, as well as all the documentation needed to apply for a visa in the US. Later, when I arrived in Poland, they provided a step-by-step guided for applying for a National ID number, as well as helpful day-to-day suggestions for where to sign up for a bank account, etc. Months later, they also provided assistance when I decided to extend my time in Poland and needed to apply for a Temporary Residency.
