I teach for EF English First Moscow and I enjoy it a lot. In any big city school system like in Russia, you have issues that you don't have much control on, e.g. extreme weather conditions, too many people around, , etc. On the other hand you spend less time lesson planning, and don't need to stay after school help sessions, and no more parent contact. Also there are heaps of museums, theatres and interesting places all over the place.. . . advantages that cannot be duplicated in a small town like where I come from. On the other hand if you want to teach where kids will excel in the arts, science, math, reading, sports and it's a given they will attend a good 4 year university, wealthy suburbs anywhere are for you, but the pay is by far less than what I make with EF English First. If you like the challenge of working with adults that NEED you to improve above all their speaking skills and save up some cash, then Moscow is the place to be and English First also allows me to take on private tutoring that pays out for my rent. It;s . Good Luck. JC.
