Hey everyone, I'm looking for some TEFL schools in Krasnoyarsk. I recently attained my TESOL/TEFL certificate from Oxford Seminars and don't have too much experience teaching. I was just wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with a possible "Mcschool" in the city? Or other schools that possibly take teachers who meet my qualifications? Thanks in advance for the replies!

Hi Maratax, I've been living here in Kras for 7 years now. There is really only one school here that employs foreigners, and its Language Link. Most posts here will tell you to stay away, and I mostly agree. They do, however, pay somewhat fairly and on time. I didn't have a great experience there, and neither did two of my friends, as we've set up our own school. If you're really keen on coming to Krasnoyarsk, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to go through Link, but for any qualified teacher, I would strongly discourage it. Our school has more foreigners working for it, but recently we've been put through the wringer by the state, and it look like it's going to get worse with all the hoopla going on.
In any case... Good luck!
