position for English Teacher in Moscow

[Suzanne Daly]

The Moscow Lycee "Stupeni" would like to announce the availability
of a position for a native speaker of English for the upcoming (2001-2002)
school year and to extend an invitation for applications.

The Lycee, a private institution founded in 1990, provides comprehensive
education with a Humanities focus for students from the first through the
eleventh grades (ages 7-17).  Class sizes are limited to no more than ten
to twelve students, facilitating close teacher-student relationships and
individually tailored academic programs.

The school offers in-depth study of the English language, supplemented by
literature and audio and video materials.  The academic load for the
American teacher ranges from twenty to twenty-four hours per week.  The
salary for one forty-minute class period is $7.50 (US dollars).  Hourly
remuneration covers actual classroom teaching.  In addition to time spent
in class, the teacher's duties include the preparation and/or revision of
classroom handouts on the computer, which is paid at a rate of $6 per
hour.  Other special teaching-related tasks may include the transcription
of videotapes ($100 per three-hour cassette).

The Lycee's academic calendar runs from September 1st to June 15th, with a
week of vacation every sixth week.  Teachers are not paid for these
vacations.  Contracts are for one year (with possible renewal).

During the time of his/her employment the teacher will be provided with an
apartment in Moscow, paid for by the Lycee, located no more than sixty
minutes away from the school.  Transportaions to and from the school will
be paid for by the Lycee.  The teacher will be responsible for the costs of
electricity and telephone calls.

All costs for visa support in Russia, processing at immigration services,
registration, and medical insurance will be covered by the school.  The
teacher will be responsible for transportation to and from Russia, as well
as for cost incurred to obtain the Russian visa in the U.S.

The Lycee has a very successful record of working with American teachers,
and would like to carry on the tradition of inviting native speakers of
English to work with its students.  Your Russian colleagues therefore
warmly invite you to join them in a friendly and cultured atmosphere.
Interested parties should send (by fax or email) a resume, a copy of their
degree (if applicable), two letters of recommendation, and a brief letter
explaining the reasons they would like to work at our school by March 1 to:
