FORMER TEACHER - Zrínyi Ilona Secondary School

My name is Jim Leonard. I taught conversational English at Zrínyi Ilona Secondary School (AKA Zrínyi Ilona Gimnázium Miskolc). I was there from January 2024 to June 2024. The schools website is https://www.zrinyigimnazium.hu/.

I was placed here by CETP. I found an ad on Dave's ESL similar to the one below. If you are heading to Miskolc to teach at Zrínyi Ilona, please feel free to contact me. My email is jleonard518@gmail.com.

 

The Central European Teaching Program is continuing to accept applications to teach in Hungary.

All applicants must be native speakers of English and citizens of the US, Canada, Ireland or the UK. 

Immediate need, apply today!

Orientation begins August 23rd in Hungary and school starts September 1st!

1.  An excellent High School in Budapest with high achieving students.
2. A bilingual primary school (grades 1-8) in a planned city that has a fascinating history.
3.  An elementary school in a small lake town just outside of Budapest.
4.  A preschool position in Budapest working with ages 2-5. 
5.  An excellent primary school (grades 1-8) in the center of Budapest.

For those open to placements in smaller communities, you will be especially appreciated. Hungary is the size of Indiana, and with its expansive, inexpensive public transportation system, our teachers easily zip to Budapest and other fabulous locales for very few dollars. 

The Central European Teaching Program is a woman-owned organization. Established in 1990, we are the oldest and most significant provider of ESL teachers to Hungarian schools. We accept teachers of nearly all genders and ages as long as health and hearing are good. All placements require a bachelor’s degree as well as TEFL certification. If interested, please send a brief letter of introduction to teach@cetp.info, and include your teaching resume or fill out this short interest form. We can then set up a time to talk. All applicants MUST be citizens of the US, Canada, the UK or the EU, NO exceptions.

We do require a program fee to support our many services, as unlike many countries, though Hungary is diligent in providing our teachers their essential documentation, neither the government nor schools cover any of our many expenses. The program fee for your intitial year is $2500 for Budapest schools as well as high schools and univeristites. For all others it is $1900. I assure you these are NOT placement fees. We are a full-service organization offering:

1. All residence and work documents to live and teach in Hungary
2. Airport pick-up and transportation to your new Hungarian home
3. In-country orientation online and in-person in Budapest
4. Net monthly salary currently equivalent to roughly $1400
5.  A private fully furnished apartment with utilities paid as part of your salary package
6. Hungarian government medical coverage 
7.  Waiving of Hungarian income tax, which saves you over $2500/year
8. 24/7 service of our experienced, kind, and attentive Hungarian director, Hajni Vancsik and her staff
9. Facebook group for teaching tips, travel and assurances
