TRAVEL & TEACH ENGLISH IN RUSSIA

Russia - Level 4: Do Not Travel
Do not travel to Russia due to the embassy’s limited ability to assist U.S. citizens in Russia, COVID-19 and related entry restrictions, terrorism, harassment by Russian government security officials, and the arbitrary enforcement of local law.

Teaching English in Russia offers a unique blend of cultural immersion and professional opportunity. With a high demand for English language skills in business, technology, and education, cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg provide numerous teaching positions. Salaries are competitive, often complemented by benefits such as housing allowances and visa support, enabling teachers to live comfortably while exploring the country's rich history and vibrant traditions. From iconic landmarks like the Red Square to the cultural depth of Russian literature and ballet, teaching in Russia promises an unforgettable experience. Russia, the largest country in the world, encompasses a vast and diverse landscape spanning across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. The western region is characterized by the expansive East European Plain, home to major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, while the Ural Mountains serve as a natural boundary between Europe and Asia. East of the Urals lies the expansive Siberian region, known for its vast forests, tundra, and the frozen landscapes of the Arctic. The southern region borders several countries and features diverse terrain, from the Caucasus Mountains to the steppes of Central Asia. Russia also boasts a long coastline along the Arctic and Pacific oceans, as well as access to the Baltic and Black seas. The country's extensive network of rivers, including the Volga, Ob, and Yenisei, play a crucial role in transportation and resource management.
