ESL certification

[Josh Wilson]

Unless it is a personal goal of hers, your student doesn't need to certify.
Professionally, it will not mean it will be easier to get work in Russia,
nor will she be likely to be paid more.  

I would, however, suggest she read the following article on our site as
there are still quite a number of scams in Russia involving English
teachers: http://www.sras.org/news2.phtml?m=283

Good luck to her!

Dear colleagues,

one of my students wants to teach English in Russia.  Could you please
suggest the best way to get TESOL/TEFL certification?

Thank you,
