An ESL school in Moscow, building bridges between cultures since 2011.
Simply English School is an education organization located in Moscow, Russia. Founded in 2011, we have grown to become the biggest independent ESL school in Russia. Our passion, vision and mission have remained the same throughout our journey.
We connect energetic, professional native English teachers from around the world with young Russian learners — creating an experience that enriches both sides of the classroom.
This mission drives every decision we make — from the teachers we hire, to the programs we design, to the support we provide. When you step into a classroom in Moscow, you are part of something bigger: a genuine cultural exchange that benefits our students and enriches your own life in equal measure.
Everything we do at Simply English is grounded in three core values. These are not just words on a page — they shape how we treat our teachers, our students, and each other.
We believe that every person in our community — teacher, student, parent, and administrator — deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. We respect cultural differences, individual learning styles, and the unique experiences each teacher brings to our team.
We do what we say we are going to do. Simply English has built its reputation over 15 years by being honest and transparent with our teachers and clients alike. We honor our commitments around pay, housing, and support — and we ask the same of you.
Good enough is not our standard. We take pride in the quality of our programs and the effort our teachers put into their lessons. Excellence means working hard, always looking to improve, and delivering lessons that genuinely make a difference.
Simply English employs bright, compassionate, creative teachers. Our teachers work hard to make sure each of their lessons is engaging and useful to our students.
Our teachers collaborate with our programs director to choose the right program of study for each group. They engage in training seminars, share ideas with peers, and participate in an active teaching community.
Our teachers know how to respond to multi-level classrooms and navigate different age groups. In a single day, one teacher can start the morning with kindergartners, teach 5th graders, and head to a private client for a business English lesson.
Simply English teachers work at public and private schools throughout Moscow. We teach 1st through 11th graders in small, intimate classroom environments where speaking and conversation are the main focus.
Our kindergarten classes are bright, fast-paced, and fun. Our teachers are expressive and energetic, teaching young children through songs, games, and stories. We teach students from 3-7 years old, always in small groups.
Simply English offers one-on-one lessons to students of all ages. Our private students follow the same programs we use in schools and kindergartens, but we also offer business English and adult conversation classes.
