Moscow schools- shady or not?
Posted: 29 Dec 2011, 01:44
I'm about to start my Trinity College TESOL certification in Prague and I'm in the process of applying for jobs in Russia, preferably Moscow, to start after my program ends on Feb. 3rd.
Google searching and intensive forum scouring has given me some good info on many schools in Russia (no thanks, Windsor School!), but others I'm having a very hard time finding any information about. Does anyone have any experience, passing knowledge, or even hearsay about any of the following institutions?
American Academy of Foreign Languages
British Business Language Centre
Sunny Plus English School
Benedict School (apparently based in Petersburg, but places in some other cities)
I've applied for a couple of places, one of which I feel the most confident about and prefer, but it's hard applying for jobs using a qualification I don't have yet, and I'm not sure they're gonna go for it. I can't afford too long of a gap between the Prague course and employment, so I'm hoping I can convince potential employers that I'm serious and will not be leaving Prague without a TESOL cert.
I'd love any advice anyone has to share about other schools in or around Moscow that I should check out, or any schools I should avoid.
