most of it online... what does that mean? They log into some software programme like Rosetta Stone or the students speak to someone on skype?

EF tend to have a bad reputation as employers in many countries,including Russia although I know that one member,not in Moscow though- would disagree as he started off with them quite well in the direction of the Rising Sun!
I also did on-line teaching work for a firm based here in Cyprus a few years ago and although it all looked very promising to start off with,the whole thing just petered out as they failed to recruit new students when short contracts with firms in Europe finished.
