Expats in banska bystrica.

Hi Matthew,

I am a South African born Aussie married to a Slovak living in Banska bystrica. I moved here in Dec 2007 and returned to Perth in 2012. I have now come back to be with my family and return at the end of April.

I was an ESL teacher here for 4 years and can introduce you to other expats in the town as well as advise you where and how to learn Slovak.

where are you from? and which part of the town do you Live in?

Hello

Thanks for getting in touch. I am living in podlaviće so really not far from banska  city centre. I work in the UK  so always trying to balance my home and work time. I was asking around for lessons and one person wanted to charge me 25e  an hour which has put  me off seeking help in the past lol.

Ps.  I've got family living down under . Must have been a big culture shock when moving from one place to another.

May I ask what work you do In England?

Good morning Michel,

Thanks for that info ill definitely look into it.

I work in the offshore industry as a chef working on oil rigs. You have them in OZ  as well as one time I was looking into moving down under and found my company Sodexo  operates there as well. 
I was looking at teaching English part time here in Slovakia maybe privately as I dint have any experience whatsoever. How did you get into teaching?

Regards.

Matthew.

Hello i live on and off in banská Štiavnica not  to far from  bb

Hi there,

I noticed your comments in this thread when I googled teaching English in Banska Bystrica. I'm moving there with my Wife in March and would be greatly appreciate any advice that you might have on teaching English there. I've been teaching English in Bratislava for the last 2-3 years and have really enjoyed it.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Steve

Good evening . Don't know if any of you are still in the town , but I moved to Banská Bystrica last month . Would love to have some advise ect on work or just a friendly chat.

Hi Lewis,

Snap. I've also just moved here and on the lookout for work.

Where are you from in England?

Best regards,

Steve

I'm in Prievidza, just down the road ( about 40 mins )

Can't say much for teaching in BB, I don't know about it there. But I've been teaching here for around 5 and a half years so far, and still going!

Hi Benny,

Sounds good. What's the going rate per hour with teaching over there?

PM if you like.

Thanks,

Steve

I'm from Cambridge mate. All completely new for me here but willing to give it a good bloody go. Give us a shout when you're free fella

Hi, I can come to any place to teach cooking, massage, martial art, as I am a master in these things among many many other subjects award from the princes of Thailand a lot of different awards as well. If anyone wants to arrange some courses for me to do of course we will split the profits= Example massage for neck, shoulder courses 4 hours learning from a master 50 euroes= 10 people minimum, or bigger profits for more people of course. In all cases, you would book the place, time, price, advertise and that would be part of your job?

Is this still valid?
