As I understood, the best Institutes for learning Russian are: 1. The Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (if you make friends who are studying there it can be quite possible to attend classes even for free). The school year costs about 4200 dollars, and after that you can study at any russian university. (PS this is the most experienced place on teaching Russian since soviet times). They provide visas and so on. http://www.rudn.ru/en/ 2. Pushkin Institute. It is a more expensive solution, but they have more personalized programs. http://www1.pushkin.edu.ru/publ/english/pushkin_institute_info/53-1-0-188 3. With the help of russian friends you can find a certified Russian teacher for individual lessons at really good rates (from 500 till 1000 per hour) in www.repetit.ru/order.aspx?PartnerId=38536 4. Join the group in vk https://vk.com/russian4 everyone There is there a big collection of audio, video and grammar guides to learn Russian, as well as people who are available to teach Russian for English classes and so on. And if you need more books... This is a wonderful collection of workbooks, grammar guides, audio books for kids (and for foreigners), audio courses and much more! Share it with friends! https://yadi.sk/d/EC7 xjAZWbPUbU I hope you like it !

Matthew R. replied:
I tried le CREF but didn't rate it at all. Awful organizational skills and administration. The classes themselves were good but not outstanding, especially for the price. I tried Derzhavin Institute too and they were great (although I studied at the St Petersburg branch - can't vouch for the Moscow one).
Anybody knows where to find a decent language school in Moscow to take the TEFL course + reasonable price??
Justin M. replied:
I see so you dont like best of british? (BOB) I am selling my nationality as a teacher from England as a marketing attraction. That is all. You seem not like TEFl at all and I cannot change your opinion nor do I want to. I am proud to have passed many TEFL courses and to have solid experince of teaching in a few coutries. TEFL.org.UK. I highly recommend it if you don't have the time or money for a CELTA course. You seem to be rather angry regarding TEFL etc. Good afternoon.

TEFL.org.uk
Ben M. replied:
I researched TEFL options ad nauseam and found tefl.org.uk to be absolutely the best option for me. Their courses are accredited by the NCFE et al. For me to take the CELTA, I would have had to drive to an authorized "testing center", live there for over a month, pay for the course, and pay for the travel to and fro. If I had that much disposable income, why would I be working at all? CELTA is like a religion with a legion of whining zealots, all convinced of an inflated self-worth, which you can see above. If you have the time and funds to spare, go ahead and take the CELTA, it will look good on a CV. If you are in need of another option, which is accredited, look into tefl.org.uk
Justin M. replied:
Daniel, TEFL is internet based and they offer many courses to include general, business, young learners, online etc that you have to do assignments and a final big assignment. Sure it's a business for them just as CELTA is a business! If you combine TEFL with years of real hands on English teaching experience, you have as good as a CELTA. In my opinion, CELTA is a snob appeal, as it's based on Cambridge and all that we think of with Cambridge! If you have the money and time do CELTA but TEFL is a good thing to have if combined with real hands on class time and experience of teaching one to one and small groups. You cannot just get the certificate by paying for a course, you must submit work and get it all passed or failed. You must prepare lesson plans as well as answer multiple choice questions. Sorry to shatter your suggestions that it's easy. TEFL is not so well known in Moscow but this will change soon. The best situation is to have TEFL, CELTA and experience! Daniel do you by chance teach CELTA in Moscow? ;-) !! CELTA costs thousands while each TEFL course, costs hundreds! I wish I worked for TEFL I could get sales commission! http://www.i-to-i.com/tefl/about-tefl/tefl-accreditation.html
Daniel B. replied:
Justin, TEFL is a generic term which stands for "Teaching of English as a Foreign Language". It is not a registered trademark like CELTA is. There are TEFL courses that are in person too, btw. I have found that with English teachers, there are plenty of us out there who have never proficiently learned another language and have never collaborated with other teachers or picked up any real certifications. There are plenty of English teachers who "have been doing it wrong" for 10 years and the longer they do it, the better it seems they think they have become. Unfortunately, just because you do something for a long time doesn't mean you get good at it. Most people who I have found who dissed CELTA have never taken it or failed the course. I don't teach CELTA, you have to have DELTA and pass an additional course for teacher training. I don't have the money or the desire to go that direction. At least not for now. I've added a link by a Japanese teacher who talks about TEFL scams and how after he researched one fine "institution" they came after him, threatened to sue him, etc. Definitely worth a read. ;) https://tefltastic.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/unitefl-new-ownership/ If you want more he has a whole category on TEFL certification scams. Glad we don't have doctors who operate like the TEFL industry does... or do we?:o
Daniel B. replied:
Cambridge doesn't advertise CELTA as TEFL because it wants to distance itself from the overwhelming amount of dodgy TEFL certifications out there. That's not to say all of them are bad. Trinity has the reputation of having an outstanding course too. Using the word TEFL is like saying you have a university degree. There are university programs and educations that are different all around the world. So in our case, it matters where people's “qualifications” came from... was it from an online internet school that someone set up in his basement in Bananistan or from a course that was developed by Cambridge? We aren't even talking about something near as expensive or challenging as most university degrees. What I am saying is that 95 percent of the native English teachers in our profession are too lazy or too arrogant to even bother to invest in real qualifications. Some justify it by saying this is one of the worst paying “professions” in the world. Perhaps they are right, but I couldn't get up and go to work everyday not wanting to give something my best. Sadly, the most some are willing to do is go find a quick internet course so they can stop being pestered by the institutions asking for them. TEFL UK. What does that mean? WHO is it accredited by? The United Kingdom accredits the course? As far as I can see, it's no different than many English schools around here who give themselves lofty names like Oxford English or The Queen's Crown Jewel English school. Perhaps it's a good course, maybe it's not. Hopefully there is at least some real in-class graded teaching practice. I should clarify too that just because you do something for a long period of time, doesn't NECESSARILY mean you get better at it. My opinion and experience is that the longer non-qualified English teachers, confident in their ability to speak their own native language “teach”, the prouder they become. As I have never seen you teach, I have no idea of whether you are a good teacher or not. But if I were a student, I would be skeptical of a teacher who said he had a TEFL certificate or who called himself the “best of British”. I've been in this profession a long time. Self-proclaimed native English speaking teachers who are experts are a dime a dozen. Usually they are the only ones who sing their praises.

Hi Kevin we are Australians but also have Italian citizenship and so don't have troubles as EU citizens working in Poland.

You and the company you want to work for have to understand Polish immigration law. Americans can not just move to Poland and open their own business. Just like no one can just move to Australia and start working. Its not that simple. Go to the Urzad Wojewodzki and they will tell you what you need to do. I have never had any problems over there. They speak English, etc. http://www.duw.pl/
