TESOL Jobs in Slovakia

The Slovak Republic has often been overlooked as a teaching destination in favor of the neighboring Czech Republic. However, Slovakia is in its own right a promising destination for EFL teachers. Opportunities exist predominantly in private language schools, of which there are many in the larger cities.
