2. But it is not just business people that come to the city that never sleeps. As international business grows, so does the need for English teachers to train the Russian staff. There is an ever growing demand for experienced and newly qualified teachers. Full and part time vacancies are added to job sites every day and while the main intakes are in September and January there are many advertised all year round.
The cityâs English speaking kindergartens and nursery schools are also on the increase and qualified and experienced teachers of young learners are in very high demand.

PLEASE REMEMBER!
- If you are planning to come to Moscow long term you are advised to look for a job that provides you with a long term (1 year +) work visa. Otherwise you will need to leave every 90 days.
- CHECK any companies before you accept a position and read your contract thoroughly.
- If your potential employer doesnât provide you with any accommodation support, try to negotiate this. Finding a property in Moscow can be a nightmare so some insider help is always very welcome! See "Real Estate" for further details.
