Former Soviet Union
The vast landscape of the former Soviet Union offers something for everyone: treasured museums, bustling bazaars, onion-domed churches, blue-tiled mosques, modern metropolises and wide-open grasslands. If you are looking for new adventures and challenges, then this is the region for you!
TeachOverseas serves in Kazakhstan, Russia, Southern Caucasus and Ukraine. Your students will be eager to learn, as their ability to speak English greatly influences their future.
Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is a wonderfully diverse country where Kazakhs, Russians, Uzbeks and Ukrainians mix in a unique community. Most Kazakhs speak Russian, which is the official trade language. While 70% of the population is Muslim, many express genuine interest in other points of view. Summer and year-long opportunities available.
Russia
The great bear of Russia defies easy explanations. Russia’s rich cultural heritage stands alongside widespread poverty and corruption. In the face of hardship, Russians show a wonderful zest for life and celebration. Come and spend a summer with high-energy youth. Or, spend a year making friends that will last a lifetime!
Southern Caucasus
Many years ago, Silk Road merchants traveled the beautiful valleys of the Southern Caucasus. Today, this region’s growing economy centers on vast oil reserves. Modern cities attract students seeking new ideas. Although they are predominantly Muslim, these students welcome cross-cultural friendships. Year-long opportunities only.
Ukraine
This summer, you have an amazing opportunity to teach English at a Ukrainian seminary. The seminary is located in eastern Ukraine, which is strongly influenced by Russian language and culture. The aim of the summer program is to reach out to the local community by providing a valuable service. Come, partner with TeachOverseas and help build the credibility of the church in Ukraine. |
