Read what another teacher published on ‘Getting a Job Abroad’

“... we headed off to a small independent school in Siberia which we found through the TEFL recruiter Babelfish.  Here we found ourselves working under the friendliest bosses we could ever have good fortune to work under, and who were generous almost to the point of absurdity.  As well as receiving L550 a month - a pretty hefty pay packet by Central Russian standards - we got free accommodation of very good quality with free bills, free Russian lessons (while most schools offer about six free lessons in the language of that country, these lessons lasted all year), free music lessons on piano or balalaika...” - Getting a Job Abroad

By far the housing is superior to most jobs that you would find at other Russian schools.  TV, VCR/DVD, single bed, bedding, microwave, toaster, dishes, sofa, table/chairs, desk, washing machine, iron, fan… are all included in the single bedroom, living room, and kitchen  apartment.  For those teachers that love to cook, this apartment has both an oven and stove!  With only a short five minute walk to the school the apartment is situated almost right downtown.  For those that worry about the cold of Siberia, both the school and home have great central heating which runs on Surgutneftegas and gasprom (Surgutneftegas and gasprom are Russia's top producers of gas, the town people are very proud of this fact) and because of the low humidity the Siberian winter does not feel as cold.

The school offers an excellent pay package of 800 Euro a month ($1200 US), which is well beyond the expected salary in Siberia.  Contract period is September to May, and bonuses include airfare, housing, health care, severance pay, sponsored visa, free Russian lessons and free music lessons.
