I'm living and working in south east Asia at the minute and wondering what's the possibility of working for around 3 months in Russia during the summer.Only 3 months and then back to 'Nam.Any ideas?

The problem is that there is pretty much no demand in Russia in summer. Russians live in cramped little apartments through loooong winters, and the last thing they want is to stick around and study in the summer. Demand is low, and supply is very high. You'll have much better chances in September.

Are you into teaching children?? Try BKC for working in Summer camps. It's likely you will be working in the oblast area,. The outskirts of Moscow.

But apart from that, pretty dead, Russians don't like to study in Summer period.

BKC uses the camps to keep their salaried teachers working over the summer, when there is very little else for them to do.

I don't think they have any need to hire anyone just for the summer.

I had a summer job in China once. Much closer to where you are now.
