It is an announcement of an opportunity for a native English-speaking
person to teach English at the Moscow College of Economics and Law.

  My name is Jennifer Howard.  I am an American Peace Corps volunteer
serving in Moscow, Russia.  The institute where I currently teach English
has applied for another volunteer for next year, but is unlikely to receive
one because Peace Corps has decided that no new volunteers will be placed in
Moscow.
  My school, The Moscow College of Economics and Law, needs a native
English speaker (no teacher certification is necessary) to teach 2-3
regular English classes (class size is typically under 10 students), host
weekly conversational sessions, and meet weekly with the other teachers in
the department for their instruction (mostly consultation about
pronunciation and cultural matters).  Although this sounds like a lot, it
is less than twenty classroom hours per week, leaving plenty of time for
private tutoring(current rate in Moscow is $10-$20 per hour) to earn extra
spending money, for visiting the theatre, going clubbing, etc.
  The native speaker would be provided with a furnished, one-room apartment.
  The school would also tutor the native speaker, if s/he so desired, in
Russian language, history, art and literature.
  Health insurance plans are available, they are considered to be quite
expensive by Russian standards, but are inexpensive compared to what a
university student pays for his or her student policy.
  Please write to me at grandmajennifer at hotmail.com   if you are at all
interested in this option for your students.  These details are by no means
written in stone and we would welcome your suggestions, too.
  Thank you for your attention,
                                Jennifer Howard
