Do you think teaching jobs are reserved for younger people? Do you find many English teachers at the ripe age of 30? How many years to people typically teach English? Could you do it as a "career', rather than a quick couple of years?
Russian students and parents value experience so a 30 year-old teacher would have an advantage over a 20 year-old. Many people go to Russia to teach during a gap year, after graduating college, but also as a longer-term job for up to 10+ years. Many expats who have settled in Russia find that teaching English is somewhat secure in that there is always demand. Even when expats move on to other jobs, they tend to continue private lessons on the side because it's flexible, pays well and in demand.
@@TheExpatEdge thanks, much appreciated. it would be really nice if you could do a video about the governor/governess avenues too - pros and cons, experiences, etc
Yes, unpredictability is my favorite thing about Russia! It makes you feel so alive 🤩 Where in the US it’s so easy (mostly) that you feel half asleep sometimes. That’s why I get out of the US any chance I get 🙈😂
Brilliant thank you, perfect timing
Can you please provide the links for schools where one can apply
