No, if you are in any formal English teaching position they will be angry if you use any Russian. In Russia, they prefer English teachers don't know any Russian. I knew a Russian girl who grew up in the US so was a native English speaker. She taught at a language school and they made her use a fake name and not say a single word in Russian.
Hello Sir, I come from Philippines, I'm a third year college student taken of Bachelor Early Childhood Education at Leyte Normal University were it is a college of education, can I ask something sir? Can Filipina women can be hired as a preschool teacher in the near future even though I'm not a native English Speaker? I hope you read and reply on my comment, Thank you and God bless
I have a Bachelor's degree in Engineering as well as a Master's degree in Energy Management. So can I teach English in Russia If I obtain a TEFL certificate?
In order to get a work visa, you need some kind of teacher training, a bachelor's degree, and a passport from a country that Russia recognizes as native English-speaking countries.
@@sayantanganguly8630 The Russian government will not issue a work visa. You could come on a student visa, or start a company in Russia and teach using the visa provided by that.
For a non native English speaker... How difficult is it to get a job as an English teacher in Russia... Is it easy to get a work visa as a teacher in Russia?
If you're just starting out, it's well above average. If you've got experience and you are likable, communicative and trustworthy, you should be making more than 100k rubles per month within your first year of being in Moscow. It does take a bit of time to get referrals and word of mouth is the best way to find new students if you're teaching private lessons.
Upper management at Russian bank's headquarters don't even make 750,000. If money is what you are looking for, most people would be better served by working at a gas station/fast food place in their home country over teaching English in Russia.
@@wanderinginrussia6813 Your comment makes no sense if you are giving private lessons to wealthy people. You're making more money with a far lower cost of living.
@@SenorJuan2023 Well, the majority of English teachers, even trained native speakers, are in Russia making 50-90 thousand roubles per month. Working full-time at minimum wage at McDonald’s gives you a higher salary. Some of those teachers are taking on private students who might pay more, but they are still at the mercy of the language schools that sponsor their visa, who might fire them if they know they’re taking on private students. They might just assign you a new class during a time when you have a private student, and by contract, you’re obligated to take it. Most private students pay approximately 1500-2000 per lesson, and require travel of up to an hour. The wealthy private clients are hard to come by, and you can’t expect to walk into Moscow, advertise yourself somewhere, and give conversation lessons to people for $40 per hour without traveling. When I lived in Russia, I met people who believed they could do this. Why? I don’t know. There’s a lot of very bad and/or outdated information out there about teaching in Russia. Working for language schools means the time that most private students want to study will be taken by your contracted hours at the language school, because that’s the time their clients want to study. Basically, if you’re in Russia with a sponsored work visa, you won’t have much time or energy after lesson planning and teaching at your language school to deal with teaching private students, much less finding them and dealing with the business side of everything. It requires a special visa type to legally teach private students, and it’s not an 8 hour per day job, where you’re making 50£ per hour, and usually requires a large upfront investment, along with monthly tax payments of 20000-40000 roubles (I forget the exact number now). And no, living in Moscow/St. Pete doesn’t mean you have a lower cost of living. Some things are cheaper, sure. Most things? No way.
@@wanderinginrussia6813 That's why you sign a good contract in the first place. Leave the private lesson time available and don't work with a school that has a problem with you giving private lessons.
Wow, please caffeinate the dude on the right before your next video. This felt like a 5 minute video that took two hours. Having said that, thank you for the effort, and sorry, bro.
In Marcus's defense, family and work obligations, as well as timezones make it very difficult to film at a reasonable time for Marcus. Many of our videos are filmed around midnight his time! Thanks for the positive comment too though!
@@TheExpatEdge you’re very professional. Good for you 👍🏼 it’s good to see. Might want to move to Moscow myself. No background in teaching language. But it’s helpful to know. Definitely have connections in Russia which would definitely help me if this is where I decide to go.
2-4k rubles an hour per lesson approx 60-80k per month language school. Max 500k if working with rich family. Quals matter if the students are kids. Business students focus more on ur business lingo Cant imagine this guy as my tutor 🥱🥱😴
Wow short but essential for students who are well versed with the English language.They can teach and earn money.
Thanks 👍
Great value video guys!
Unique video
Guys - What % of the dialog with your students was in English? Did you have to use a certain amount of Russian to explain things in more depth?

@@wanderinginrussia6813 What about the non native English speaking countries. Actually I am from INDIA 🇮🇳

@@wanderinginrussia6813 Ok, then I have to look for other countries 🙂👍

Fr especially after the war in Ukraine

I split the difference and 150,000 rubles is roughly only $2000 U.S., that isn't much! I wouldn't take less then 750,000 rubles a month!
For teaching English or working in Russia? : )
750,000 a month will grant you a lavish life-style in Russia, if you have the free time to enjoy it.
Upper management at Russian bank's headquarters don't even make 750,000. If money is what you are looking for, most people would be better served by working at a gas station/fast food place in their home country over teaching English in Russia.
