[Laura Little]

Dear Subscribers -

The Moscow Lycee  Stupeny  would like to announce the availability of a position
 for a native speaker of English for the upcoming (1999-2000) 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 7-16). Class sizes are limited to no more than 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 fourteen to sixteen hours per week. The salary for one
 forty minute class period is
7.50 $U.S. Hourly remuneration covers both actual classroom teaching and
 preparation before class. 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 operates from September 1st to June 15th, with a
 week of vacation every sixth week. Teachers are not paid for these vacations.
 Contracts are for 1 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. Transportation 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 costs
 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 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
