Program Overview

Program Description:

Our Au Pair Teacher Program is a unique program which allows young adults to gain experience abroad in a wide range of capacities. Like a traditional Au Pair, candidates' costs are covered for them making it the most economical way to travel, experience a new culture and be engaged in a good cause. During the program, participants will be interacting with children of various ages up to adult students. Participants of our program are also teachers because they, as native speakers, immerse students in a foreign language and provide a comfortable environment to quickly learn a language through rich interaction together.

We look for individuals who have skills and talents they can teach and thereby the language that goes with it. Do you play an instrument? Let's use your musical talent to play and sing songs in English and give music lessons in English. Are you good at math, physics or other sciences? Let's use your knowledge to teach children who are preparing to enter educational institutions having English programs. Are you good at sports? Let's use your abilities to engage students in sports activities in English. Are you into acting and theater? Come see how you can use your training in acting and theater and become a successful teacher.

Our philosophy is to use language as a medium of communication rather than the focal point of study. We assist you, as an English teacher, in engaging your student(s) in activities that require the USE of language. Many institutions are not as effective as they could be in language teaching because language is taught in theory and without an adequate amount of implementation. We emphasize learning languages at a very young age, if possible, within the first year of life.

Setting Description:

We promote experience abroad among native English speakers through teaching in English and private education. We strive to break down stereotypes and open people's minds to other cultures. We invite native English speakers to come to Russia and share their gifts, talents and knowledge with Russian people who want to learn English in order to become more educated, improve their job opportunities and travel the world. This, in turn, enriches the lives of others with whom our students come in contact.
