Teach English in Eastern Europe & Russia

While many people have come to consider Western Europe overly commercialized and entirely touristy, Eastern Europe is home to lots of different cultures and sites that are unique, well-preserved, and extremely localized. Detached from the economic powers that make up the EU, Eastern Europe is an affordable way to experience the lifestyle of a European adventure, while earning a decent living and working in a world often forgotten by U.S. History books. In general, teaching abroad is a great way to immerse in a new culture while making money and contributing to the global community, and this region does not fall short of any expectations.

A Guide to Teaching Abroad in Eastern Europe & Russia

Locations

Individuals can teach abroad in Eastern Europe and Russia in almost every country, although a few offer distinct competitive advantages and unique vantage points to launch an international teaching career.

Kazakhstan, while not a popular tourist destination, is an incredible hub for international education. Teaching jobs in Kazakhstan are available year round as well as in nearly every subject, from Biology and Chemistry to Algebra and Calculus, as well as nearly every grade from Kindergarten on up.

Turkey is also home to many English teaching jobs for those hoping to work with ESL students, although other subjects (such as economics) are also available. Turkey can also be a very flexible destination as contracts range anywhere from two to four months to a few years depending on the school.

Russia offers lots of ESL teaching jobs as well. Most individuals who teach abroad in Russia end up being located in the capital cities, where most ESL students are. While the political climate of Russia in recent years has made it difficult for Americans to enter the country, due to both financial and governmental restrictions, Westerners can occasionally gain entrance for the pursue of teaching English abroad.

Many other Eastern European countries have great jobs for teaching English abroad. Hungary and Poland have a high demand for TEFL certified teachers, while the Czech Republic has some of the largest TEFL certification programs in the world.
