I was wondering how successful people were at finding high schools to teach at during the day? I taught one day a week at a high school last year but due to pay problems I won't be returning and was hoping to supplement my days with a HS or two. The last one I got through a girlfriends mom but I can't use here again. Any formal places to look?

Are you in Moscow? You may consider the Slavic American School. I know someone who recently accepted an offer with them. I thought the school was quite good. They offered me full package back in 04/05 for the following yr, but 1500$/mo to do the same thing I did in Alaska(HS ESL) was just not enough to motivate me. They offer shared housing or a housing stipend if you'd rather look for own digs, visa, and free lunches. If you go this route, you will have a full schedule as you would teaching FT in the US that you will only have to bust your butt to supplement. If they offered a better salary, I'd not mind working there. Also try Dom Stankevich. They offer about 70$/90 min and I've heard nothing but good things from ppl who work or have worked there.
