Teaching English in Russia?

[Josh Wilson]

The market leader in Moscow is a Sweedish company called English First.

I would recommend that your student take a look at some material on the site
of the School of Russian and Asian Studies - there are some nuances and
pitfalls to teaching English here and plenty places whose business model
involves taking advantage of westerners who are used to working without
contracts and with understood ethics. So, good to know who can be trusted
and what to look out for:

Subject: [SEELANGS] Teaching English in Russia?

Colleagues,

One of my graduating students is looking to go to Russia after graduation to
teach English, continue to study Russian and learn about life in Russia.
Does anyone have any advice or, even better, the names (and contact
information) of reputable organizations which might help place him in a
Russian school that's looking for native English speakers?

Thanks,

Tony
