A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Russia
Locations
Dynamic for its blending of Western influences and traditional Russian values, teachers will find that most teaching jobs in Russia are based in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Whether it’s a teaching internship position with an international language school, or teaching English to a local family, Moscow and St. Petersburg are thriving destinations to teach English in Russia.
Moscow has long been Russia’s political and economic center, and the city’s historical architectural sights, like Saint Basil’s Cathedral, the more modern Seven Sisters skyscrapers, or the famous Tretyakov Gallery, make for plenty of sites to explore outside the classroom. Do keep in mind that Moscow has consistently made the list of the world’s most expensive expat cities for the past ten years, so keeping an eye on your budget is vital!
Further north and situated at the head of the Gulf of Finland and on the River Neva, teachers may opt to call Saint Petersburg home, where the demand for international educators, like foreign language assistants, is just as high. The Neoclassical architecture and hundreds of bridges are also worth getting to know firsthand while teaching in St. Petersburg.
For those seeking different locales, teaching jobs also exist in other locations throughout the country, from Siberia to Chelyabinsk and Novgorod, and to smaller towns. In terms of adjusting to climate in any of these locations, teachers should note that Russian winters can dip as low as -30 degrees Celsius, so pack accordingly depending on the time of year you plan to teach English in Russia. Hot summers will also be typical, and Moscow has been known to hit temperatures of 35 degrees Celsius during the month of July.
