opportunities for teaching English in Russia

[Keith Langston]

I had a request to post a summary of the replies to my earlier query
about opportunities for students to teach English in Russia, so here
goes:

from Sheila McCarthy, Colby College:
Have your students look at an organization called PETRO-TEACH for
possibilities in St. Petersburg.  The House of Stankevich is a for-profit
institute for teaching English to professional people after work hours in
Moscow.

Our study abroad program is hosted by St. Petersburg Classical Gimnaziia
which also hires American and British students to teach English.  You can
e-mail the school at <svbur at gym.spb.su>

from Richard Gilmore:

BKC house in Moscow http://www.bkc.ru -- requires TESOL certification
or similar credentials
-----------------------------------
from Robert Hunter:

Russian American Exchanges, Inc., a New York State not-for-profit
corporation that conducts high school student exchanges between the
Rochester, New York area and the Novgorod Oblast and sends English language
teaching assistants to the Novgorod Oblast. Teaching Assistants
are volunteers and are provided home hospitality (room, board, and a generous
dose of gosteprimnost').

And don't forget the Peace Corps as another possibility.

Thanks to everyone who provided this information.
