GeoVisions Conversation Corps provides native English speakers a chance to live with a Russian family and teach them conversational English. This opportunity will be an amazing adventure of living in your teaching environment and being completely immersed in the fascinating culture of Russia. This position is incredibly unique and requires a lot of energy and dedication to working with the family and coming up with creative ways to help teach them English.
