There might be a chance with a degree and some teaching experience if you're still interested. Ensure you go to a reliable employer who will give the whole package starting with a telephone interview in your current country, to accommadation, flight costs visa support etc. Those schools are Language Link and BKC. But forget BKC as they have the monopoly on CELTA courses for teachers and will only accept those with a CELTA certificate. But give Language Link a try, the income stinks everywhere for the employed, but it's a start. At least this school has stable reputation of paying their teachers.

I'd like to get some general info about teaching in Russia, specifically Moscow. I have a degree and will have a years experience, no certificate though. Will I be able to get a job and some privates when I get there or do I need to get a cert. first?
I'm also looking for some information on the visa process. How can I insure that I won't have to leave after three months? Can I get a full 12 month business/work visa? Someone on another site mentioned something about getting residency, how do I go about getting residency and is that the best way to take care of things? I'm planning on coming over there after the summer and would like to get as much information as possible.
What about wages and expenses? I don't imagine I'll make as much as I am now in South Korea, but can I make enough to live and save a little, or at least enough to have some extra money for paying bills Stateside when I'm working?
Thanks |
