State & Private Schools
Simply English works with a diverse range of schools within Moscow — some are highly prestigious and located in the center of the city, others are in normal working class neighborhoods throughout Moscow.
At each school the classroom environment can be different. Some schools are very traditional with blackboards and chalk, others have smart boards, projectors, and computers in each classroom.
Regardless of the size or style of school, Simply English keeps its classes small. We never place more than 12 children in a classroom, ensuring every student gets the attention and opportunity to express themselves that they deserve.
"Working as a teacher in Moscow is a unique, fun and challenging experience. At Simply English you will typically work in both public and private school settings. I cannot say that one setting is better than the other — I have found that no matter what school you are teaching in, the students are genuinely interested in the lessons and are very fun to teach."
"The class sizes were smaller and I never had more than 20 students which gave me the opportunity to get to know my students personally. The Academic Directors at Simply English are also great and always work to help tailor lesson plans to meet the needs of my different classes."
Kindergartens
As with our schools, the locations, facilities, and approaches of the kindergartens we work with vary greatly. Some of our kindergartens are in large, stately mansions in the center of the city catering to children of influential and famous clientele. Others are located in suburban areas of the city.
Kindergarten classes begin at age three and continue until students are ready to start first grade. Teachers never have more than eight children in them, and all lesson spaces are brightly colored and roomy — great for the active games and fun physical activities that form the core of our kindergarten programs.
"Teaching at a kindergarten in Russia was one of the most rewarding and challenging experiences I have had. The children were typically very happy to see their favorite English teacher every day and were eager and enthusiastic to share the English that they knew with me."
"It takes a lot of energy and a positive attitude to be a kindergarten teacher here and the love from the children makes it all worth it. The smiles on the faces of the children and seeing their progress made teaching kindergarten in Moscow one of the more rewarding jobs that I have had."
