Our Schools
The schools may be throughout Russia. If you request a specific city, there is an additional fee involved. We primarily place Teacher’s Assistants in private language schools. We believe that teaching in the private sector will benefit our participants more than public schools because there is more motivation to add cultural diversity and incorporate native speakers. Each school we work with will be happy to help our Teacher’s Assistants integrate with local Russian teachers and students in order to promote an active social life.
There is an orientation session for every Teacher’s Assistant given on the first day at school. That is followed by three days of job training with the lead teacher. Local office support is also available 24/7 to ensure your safety.
