JOB ANNOUNCEMENT: English Teachers Sought for Tuvan State University, Kyzyl

[Joey Taylor]

*Description of institution*

Tuvan State University (TuvSU) is looking for energetic and fun teachers of
English to teach a breadth of English language courses at the university
for students, professors, and staff, ranging from beginning English to
academic English and writing. Specialized courses may also be taught in any
discipline (mathematics, hard sciences, business, economics, agriculture,
etc.), depending on the teacher's comfort in teaching these courses as well
as expertize in the specific area.


Demand is high at TuvSU for native speakers of English and any teacher at
the university will find themselves quite busy.

Class times will mostly be held in the latter half of the day or evening
(beginning from 3:00-5:00 PM), though some classes may be taught during
regular academic hours. The university will work with teachers on
developing a schedule that is suitable for both parties.
