Hello,
This is something of a follow-up to a post I made in the Czech forum, but I wanted to run it by the people with experience in Russia.
I'm a 24 year old guy who is seriously considering doing a September TEFL certification course in Prague in September. I have studied the Russian language for a few years (though you probably wouldn't know it from speaking with me!) and am hoping to end up working in Russia or a Russian-speaking area to strengthen my fluency. St. Petersburg is what I have in mind so far. I know schools in Russia generally start in September; will I be at a severe disadvantage if I don't arrive until October? Also, any thoughts on the necessity of a CELTA cert versus a more general TEFL cert in regards to finding work in the Russian speaking world?
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

I'm English and based in Saint-Petersburg. Me and some other expat friends got a bit tired of private schools messing us around - paying low wages, imposing rules, of thinking up dodgy contracts! So, we've created a teacher's collective to provide info, advice...and some extra teaching hours for EFL teachers. If you'd like to meet up and get involved then definitley contact me.

"....good English school that pays good...."
I love some of the posts from *English* teachers on this site.
Or more appropriately, perhaps you were interested in being a student at such a school? |
